Abstract
Background/Aim of Study: HV is a progressive, chronic deformity affecting the first metatarsophalangeal joint causing big toe lateral deviation and 1st metatarsal being medially deviated hence our objective is to calculate the frequency, factors associated with Hallux valgus and their rehabilitation. Methodology: Non-probability A convenient sampling technique among 273 females aged 20-60 years from Jhelum District was done. Self-administrated questionnaires were filled out, and pain was measured using VAS. The goniometer and Manchester scale were used to evaluate HV deformity. Results: The overall frequency of Hallux valgus was found to be 75.46%. 43.96% elder and 31.5% younger females. Mean age of participants was 42.95 ± 9.96. HV angle showed 24.9% were normal, 57.9% mild, 16.5% moderate, and 0.7% had severe deformity. The association of HV with BMI and shoe shape was statistically significant. No association was found between age, work experience, and heel height. Conclusions: HV abnormality was high in elders when compared with youngers. The severity for HV grading showed mild deformity with bilateral HV more frequent among female. Foot wear i–e shoe shape and BMI plays a substantial role in the development of HV.
