This study looks at how hammertoe deformities affect foot pressure distribution and whether proper treatment can improve quality of life.

Hammertoe deformities often lead to pain, discomfort, and difficulty with walking. People affected by these deformities are also at a higher risk for developing pressure-related ulcers on their feet. It is essential for clinicians to be aware of this risk and to assess the degree of plantar pressure reduction following both conservative and surgical treatments, as alleviating this pressure may help prevent the development of foot ulcers. Individuals diagnosed with hammertoes will participate in two data collection sessions-one visit before the intervention begins (pre-intervention) and another visit three months after the intervention (post-intervention).
