The aim of this study is to examine the immediate effects of mobilization and manipulation versus sham manipulation on plantar pressure, quality of life, and pain in patients with hallux valgus. Participants will be assessed using a sociodemographic data form, the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), the Manchester Scale, goniometric measurements, the Multidimensional Nil Hallux Valgus Scale, the SF-36 Health Survey, the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and plantar pressure analysis via a pedobarographic device. The study will be conducted on a total of 60 feet, with 30 feet assigned to the manipulation group and 30 feet to the sham manipulation group.
