Background : The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program on Balance and Walking in Stroke Patients with Pre-existing hallux valgus. Methods : This study was designed ABA format in single subject research design. The participants were trained the foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program training for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, for two weeks. Before the treatment is implemented, the baseline (A) data was collected for 5 times. Foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program training (B) data was collected 10 times during intervention. Baseline (A’) data was collected 5 times after the intervention. Foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program training proceeded with realignment, and strengthening. The balance was measured by TETRAX Interactive Balance System for static and Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and 10m walk test(10 MWT) for dynamic. Results : As a result of the study, the static and dynamic balance were improved after intervention. These effects were maintained even during the regression baseline period. Conclusion : The Results showed that Foot Intrinsic Muscles Exercise Program training was effective in the improvement of static, dynamic balance and gait.
