Category:Midfoot/ForefootIntroduction/Purpose:Hallux valgus (HV) is one of the most common forefoot problems. HV is defined as a hallux valgus angle of more than twenty degrees. HV can lead to alterations of the plantar pressure pattern and clinical gait. This study examined the relationship between gait alterations and HV deformities.Methods:We examined 500 residents (161 men and 339 women; >50 years of age) of Miyagawa village in Mie, Japan in 2009, 2011 and 2013. They performed a 6-meter walk test at normal and maximum speed. We examined gait speed, the number of steps, and footprint between patients with normal (HV angle <20; n=350) and HV (HV angle >20; n=150), and between normal-to-mild (HV angle <30; n=436) and moderate-to-severe (HV angle >30; n=64). Their plantar pressure patterns were measured using a gait analyzer (Walk Way MW 1000; Anima, Tokyo, Japan, Figure.1). Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test according to sex and use of the hallux ball; the t-test according to a...
