This study tests whether wearing custom shoe inserts (orthoses) can reduce pain from bunions (hallux valgus) during walking and daily activities. Participants will wear the inserts in their shoes for the study period.
This study looks at how a long walk affects people with hallux valgus (a bunion). If you join, you'll walk for a while and the researchers will watch how your foot responds, which could help them understand better ways to manage bunions.
This trial studies whether using a tourniquet (a tight band to control bleeding) during bunion surgery affects recovery. If you're having both feet corrected on the same day, this study may help doctors decide the best way to do the surgery.
This study tests two different hand-on treatments for the big toe to see how they affect the pressure under your foot when you stand or walk. One treatment involves moving and stretching the joint, and the other is a 'sham' version that feels similar but is not the real treatment.
This trial tests if using a connected app to do self-guided rehab at home helps people recover better after bunion (hallux valgus) surgery. It may offer a convenient way to follow your exercises and track progress.
This study compares two treatments for athletes with a stiff big toe (functional hallux limitus) that affects running. It tests whether a special tape or a movement retraining technique works better to improve toe motion and reduce pain.
