“…This effect seemed to be maintained in the treated foot, which resulted in a change in the loading ratio and a shift in the center of gravity towards the heel. This may be an important factor in reducing pain symptoms especially in the case of metatarsalgia co-existing with HV due to the lowering of the transverse arch of the foot and associated calluses [ 30 ].…”

Background and Objectives: Hallux valgus, one of the most common foot disorders, contributes to the formation of pain, changes foot proportions and hinders everyday functioning. In this study we wanted to verify if kinesiology taping improves hallux valgus and affects the position as well as reducing pain. Materials and Methods: Forty feet with hallux valgus were examined and the parameters were measured at three stages: before the kinesiology taping was applied, just after its application and after a month of use. Measurements were taken with a 3D scanner and a baropodometric platform. Results: When taping was applied, the hallux valgus angle decreased statistically significantly compared with pre-taping (p < 0.01). The use of taping for a month significantly reduced this angle compared with pre-taping (p < 0.05). Parameters such as foot length, the surface of the hindfoot and forefoot and hindfoot pressure on the ground changed. A change in the hallux position due to the taping produced significant changes in the perception of pain (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Kinesiology taping acts on the hallux valgus and foot position mechanically. This makes kinesiology taping an effective method of conservative treatment for patients who are not qualified for surgery.

“…The change in the HV angle using the kinesiology taping technique can be helpful in the treatment of conditions co-existing with HV deformity such as an ingrown nail on the lateral side of the big toe, corns between the toes or, in extreme cases, wounds caused by excessive pressure from the big toe on the second toe [ 6 , 30 ].…”

Introduction:The WHO Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study (2018) on the health status of adolescents in Europe highlights an escalation of factors instrumental in the development of postural defects, which may consequently deteriorate into serious postural complaints in adulthood. Aim of the research:To investigate the correlations between the morphological structure of the foot and postural stability in children and adolescents. Material and methods:The study sample comprised 627 children (aged 10-15 years), who had the plantar part of their feet assessed in static conditions with a 2D Podoscan. Individual foot loading paradigm variables were assessed with a baropodometric platform. Postural assessment was completed with 2D Videography, facilitating morphological measurements of body asymmetry. Results: Valgus of the knees, Clarke's left foot angle, and Wejsflog index values also doubled as strong predictors of centre of the foot's pressure (COP) length. A negative correlation was established between the COP length and obesity, hallux valgus of the left foot, flat-footedness, and lowered longitudinal foot arches. Conclusions: Higher COP surface area values were observed in the children affected by valgus of the knees, higher angle of the hallux valgus in the left foot, and those with longer feet. Clarke's L-foot angle, Wejsflog index, and valgus of the knees proved to be strong predictors affecting key postural stability variables. StreszczenieWprowadzenie: Badanie WHO Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (2018) dotyczące stanu zdrowia nastolatków w Europie wskazuje na eskalację czynników przyczyniających się do rozwoju wad postawy, które mogą przeradzać się w poważne dolegliwości w wieku dorosłym. Cel pracy: Zbadanie zależności między budową morfologiczną stopy a stabilnością postawy u dzieci i młodzieży. Materiał i metody: W badaniu wzięło udział 627 dzieci (w wieku 10-15 lat), u których oceniano podeszwową część stóp w warunkach statycznych za pomocą podoskanu 2D. Poszczególne zmienne obciążenia stopy analizowano za pomocą platformy baropodometrycznej. Ocenę postawy uzupełniono wideografią 2D, ułatwiającą morfologiczne pomiary asymetrii ciała. Wyniki: Koślawość kolan, kąt Clarke'a stopy lewej i wartości wskaźnika Wejsfloga to silne predyktory wpływające na długości COP. Stwierdzono ujemną korelację między długością COP a otyłością, paluchem koślawym lewej stopy, płaskostopiem i obniżonymi podłużnymi łukami stopy. Wnioski: Wyższe wartości pola powierzchni COP zaobserwowano u dzieci z koślawością kolan, większym kątem palucha koślawego w stopie lewej oraz u dzieci z dłuższymi stopami. Kąt L-stopy Clarke'a, indeks Wejsfloga i koślawość kolan okazały się silnymi czynnikami prognostycznymi wpływającymi na kluczowe zmienne stabilności postawy.
