Brief summary
The aim of the study is to identify the impact of CFS foot muscle training on time-space parameters, anthropometric parameters and bioelectrical activity (EMG) of the foot muscles during walking and to develop an algorithm for an effective therapeutic method in patients after hallux valgus correction. Achieving the purpose of the research will contribute to the answer to the following research questions: * Does the CFS therapy used significantly change the arch of the foot in HV patients compared to the control group? * Does the CFS therapy used significantly improve gait characteristics after HV surgery in relation to the control group? * Does muscle stimulation and the moment of their activation differ in groups in which different therapies have been used? * Will the results of the questionnaires and scale be significantly different in both groups?
Interventions
An experiment of foot muscle strength and activation, during gate phases after hallux valgus correction with the use of core foot system protocol

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Scale for first metatarsophalangeal joint | 8 weeks | Orthopaedic Scale to describe function and problems with first metatarsophalangeal joint |
| The 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) | 8 weeks | The SF-36 is often used as a measure of a person or population's quality of life (QOL) |
| Zebris Medical System | 8 weeks | The plantar pressure distribution measurement systems |
| EMG test | 8 weeks | Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve's stimulation of the muscle |
| Podoscope test | 8 weeks | A diagnostic device that allows the assessment of the sole of the foot while standing |
