The deformity of&nbsp;&nbsp; Hallux valgus&nbsp; is&nbsp; reformist,&nbsp; and&nbsp; includes&nbsp; a&nbsp; few phases, yet&nbsp; starts&nbsp; with lateral&nbsp; deviation&nbsp; of&nbsp; the&nbsp; big&nbsp; toe&nbsp; (Hallux)&nbsp; and&nbsp; medially deviation&nbsp; of&nbsp; the&nbsp; first&nbsp; main&nbsp; metatarsal&nbsp; bone. An&nbsp; Hallux&nbsp; valgus&nbsp; angle&nbsp; more prominent&nbsp; than&nbsp; 15&nbsp; degrees&nbsp; is&nbsp; viewed&nbsp; as&nbsp; unusual&nbsp; yet&nbsp; at&nbsp; such&nbsp; a point&nbsp; the proximal&nbsp; phalanx&nbsp; may&nbsp; in&nbsp; any&nbsp; case&nbsp; be&nbsp; consistent&nbsp; with&nbsp; the&nbsp; metatarsal&nbsp; head&nbsp;&nbsp; when seen on radiographs.(2) The&nbsp; cause&nbsp; of&nbsp; Hallux&nbsp; valgus&nbsp; has&nbsp; been&nbsp; a&nbsp; discuss topic&nbsp; for&nbsp; years,&nbsp; but&nbsp; is&nbsp; likely associated&nbsp; with&nbsp; genetic&nbsp; predisposition,&nbsp; restrictive footwear,&nbsp; other&nbsp; foot&nbsp; deformities&nbsp; such&nbsp; as&nbsp; pronation&nbsp; of&nbsp; the&nbsp; hind&nbsp; foot furthermore, (pes planus, hyper mobility,&nbsp; contracture&nbsp; of&nbsp; the&nbsp; Achilles&nbsp; ligament , and neuromuscular&nbsp; problems,&nbsp; for&nbsp; example,&nbsp; cerebral paralysis&nbsp; and&nbsp; stroke(3). Orthoses have been proposed to lessen the raised plantar weight under the medial ray in patients with&nbsp; Hallux&nbsp; Valgus&nbsp; or&nbsp; bunion&nbsp; and&nbsp; diminish pain (7,8) when joined with&nbsp; a&nbsp; toe separator, orthosis&nbsp; may&nbsp; likewise&nbsp; assist&nbsp; with&nbsp; remedying&nbsp; alignment. Preventing&nbsp;&nbsp; general disability and&nbsp; halting&nbsp; the&nbsp; progression&nbsp; of&nbsp; structural&nbsp; changes&nbsp; are&nbsp; important&nbsp; for&nbsp; the management&nbsp; of hallux valgus. <strong>Objectives.</strong> To evaluate the&nbsp; clinical&nbsp; effects&nbsp; of&nbsp; dynamic&nbsp; splints&nbsp; on&nbsp; Hallux&nbsp; valgus&nbsp; this study was&nbsp; performed. To&nbsp; measure&nbsp; the&nbsp; degree&nbsp; of&nbsp; correction&nbsp; that&nbsp; can&nbsp; be&nbsp; achieved&nbsp; using&nbsp; the dynamic&nbsp; splints. <strong>Methods. </strong>Sample size was 8. Hallux valgus patients with age from 15-60 years, Mild, moderate Hallux Valgus, Hallux valgus angle &lt; 40 degree, Both genders. <strong>Results.</strong> Total sample size was 8, in which 6 (75%) were Female and 2 (25%) were males, and they all are from Peshawar. Total sample size was 8 and Mean of the angle before using the splint is (20.75) and standard deviation among the angle was (2.315). Total sample size was 8 and Mean of the angle after using appliance for 15 day was (19.88) and standard deviation of the total population was (2.58), while the correction achieved in degree of angle has a mean of (1.00) and standard deviation of (0.535). Data was recorded and analyzed through SPSS. <strong>Conclusion.</strong> The persistence of&nbsp; the&nbsp; effect&nbsp; of orthosis&nbsp; is&nbsp; another&nbsp; point&nbsp; which&nbsp; could&nbsp; be assessed&nbsp; by&nbsp; evaluating&nbsp; changes&nbsp; during the wash-out&nbsp; period. The fact&nbsp; is&nbsp; that&nbsp; the&nbsp; angular&nbsp; changes&nbsp; are&nbsp; related&nbsp; to&nbsp; the&nbsp; time&nbsp; when&nbsp; orthosis&nbsp; is&nbsp; worn,&nbsp; so&nbsp;&nbsp; these&nbsp; changes&nbsp; were&nbsp; returned&nbsp; to&nbsp; first&nbsp; state&nbsp; by&nbsp; doffing&nbsp; the&nbsp; orthosis.</p> ER -
