Abstract
Aim:To compare the effects of progressive exercise therapy, performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist and given as a home program in individuals withhallux valgus.Methods:Participants were randomly divided into two groups. While one group performed the exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist, the other group did the same program at home.Results:The amount of decrease in foot adduction angle, pain level while walking, and right foot navicular height of individuals receiving treatment under the supervision of a physiotherapist were significantly higher.Conclusion:The exercise program applied under the supervision of a physiotherapist was more effective in reducing the first toe adduction angle, medial longitudinal arc height, and pain, improving dynamic balance and functional capacity.
