Background & Aims: Hallux valgus is one of the most common foot deformities, with a reported prevalence of about 23% in the age group of 16 to 65 years. This deformity causes external deviation of the first toe and progressive subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. This condition can be associated with osteoarthritis of the joint and causes impairment in physical function, decreased general health, and decreased quality of life. The aim of the present study was to systematically investigate the effect of non-surgical techniques focusing on kinesiotape and corrective exercises in the management of hallux valgus.
Materials & Methods: Using domestic and foreign databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, ISC, SID, Magiran, and Irandoc, articles published between January 2020 and January 2025 were searched with the keywords Rehabilitation, Hallux valgus Kinesiotype, Hallux valgus Corrective Exercises, Hallux valgus, kinesiotype, and corrective exercises. After searching and screening articles according to the inclusion criteria, including access to the full text of the article, articles in Persian and English, and articles that were randomized clinical trials, were selected. The quality of the included articles was assessed using the PEDro scale.
Results: A total of 11 articles met the inclusion criteria. These studies mainly investigated the effect of kinesiology tape and corrective exercises on the big toe angle, pain, and balance. Studies that investigated combined interventions showed more significant improvements in the above indicators.
Conclusion: Evidence shows that the use of combined interventions, compared to the use of an intervention alone, has a greater effect on correcting the deformity, reducing pain, and improving balance in patients with hallux valgus.
