Abstract
<p>To clarify the effects of hallux valgus (HV) angle-reducing shoes on the gait of HV females, gait parameters were measured in 12 females (mean age: 24.8±11.5) with such a condition to compare their values when wearing HV angle-reducing shoes and control shoes with the same appearance to walk. When walking with HV angle-reducing shoes,the step length increased (p<0.05), the double-leg support period shortened (p<0.05), and the gait speed increased (p<0.05), revealing significant differences in all cases. On the other hand, none of the 5 other parameters, the step width, ankle angle, foot progression angle,stance phase, or swing phase, revealed significant differences. The effect sizes on the step length, double-leg support period, and gait speed revealing significant differences were within the range from ǀ0.46ǀto ǀ0.60ǀ, suggesting that some positive effects on the gait of HV females are achieved with the HV angle-reducing shoes.</p>
