Hallux valgus, the main pathological manifestations are dislocation of the joint at the bottom of the great toe, which causes the great toe to bend laterally and cause the hallux head to protrude outwards. Etiology, congenital factors are due to joint, nerve, muscle imbalance caused by. Such as: flatfoot, heredity and foot muscle strength reduction and imbalance, so that the foot function is reduced, resulting in instability and deformation. The acquired factor is that the toe is forced to valgus due to the long-term wearing of pointed shoes, and the toe is forced to valgus. For example, wearing shoes with too high, too sharp and too narrow heel makes it difficult to fix the heel, causing squeezing friction and compression on the toe, which will accelerate the formation of thumb valgus.

A good way to prevent this is to wear a suitable pair of shoes, such as shoes with wide and high toe or shoes with curved soles. In the early stage of hallux valgus formation, soaking feet in warm water can temporarily relieve pain. Mild patients can clip cotton pads between the first and second toes, and wear plastic hallux valgus orthosis at night to prevent deterioration and correct deformity, such as toe protection pad, night splint, toe bandage, etc. If the pain is really intolerable and seriously affects daily life, surgery is needed to do joint correction.

In order to achieve the purpose of large correction force, the common hallux valgus appliance adopts bracket and orthopedic belt in the structural design, and adjusts the correction force according to the comfort degree, and should not be too tight.

Orthosis is an external support device for limbs and trunk, which is used to improve the dysfunction of nervous, muscle and skeletal system of human body. Orthosis can be divided into lower limb orthosis, upper limb orthosis and trunk orthosis. According to the statistics of the number of installation, lower limb orthoses account for 80% of the total orthoses
