The prevalence of hallux valgus is 23%, both male and female are affected. The function of Hallux is to resist the overpronation of foot during the normal foot mechanics. Hallux serves as a fulcrum for forward propulsion. Cause of hallux valgus is multifactorial. Various treatment methods available such as foot exercise, manual therapy techniques, kinesiology taping techniques. In this study subjects provided with Taping techniques and Foot exercise. Objective of the study was to determine the effect of Tapping and Foot exercise on great toe angle and foot function in subjects with Hallux valgus.

Methods: A total of 20 Subjects with Hallux Valgus of both genders, in the age group of 18-65 years were conveniently assigned into 2 groups. Group A (n = 10) received Taping and Foot exercise and Group B (n = 10) received Foot exercise alone, 3 sessions a week for 8 weeks. Foot function were evaluated with Foot function index and Finger Goniometer.

Results: The difference in the post-test mean scores of group A and group B in Foot Function Index was 18.75 and 15.71 and Goniometer was 17.17 and 13.416 respectively. The result showed a significant improvement in Group A than in Group B at p < 0.0001.
