Possibilities of physiotherapy in patients with hallux valgus
KINCLOVÁ, Kamila
The bachelor thesis deals with a problem of hallux valgus and how is it possible to influence this deformity by physiotherapy. Hallux valgus is a deformity of a forefoot, specifically the I. metatarsal joint, in which a toe goes out towards another toe. This deformity is caused by several causes, of which inheritance, an effect of a static load on a foot, and finally also a shape of a footwear plays its role. In total, 4 patients participated in the research, all had hallux valgus deformity, but also other associated problems. Each respondent had his or her own individual therapy, which consisted of entry and exit examinations, including examination by podoscop, more of soft techniques used were reflexology therapy, mobilization and exercise. Patients were followed for three months. The aim of the thesis was to map out possibilities of physiotherapy that may affect hallux valgus. To map out the different possibilities I performed a literature review. The results show that differentiated treatments are appropriate for each responder with hallux valgus concerning their individual responses. For example, I used the concept of DNS, exercises with an overball, PNF, or post-izometric relaxation. The bachelor thesis can be used as an educational material for physiotherapists, but also for public, who are focused or interested in this topic.
