| Abstract: | Background: Hallux Valgus (HV) is a common foot deformity characterized by lateral deviation of the great toe, which can lead to pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. Policemen are particularly at risk due to prolonged standing, walking, and the use of stiff uniform footwear, which may increase stress on the forefoot. Understanding the impact of HV on this occupational group is essential for planning preventive and therapeutic interventions. Aim: To find out the effect of Hallux Valgus on quality of life in policemen of Nashik. Objectives:1. To determine the effect of Hallux Valgus on quality of life in policemen using the Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ).2.To determine the prevalence and severity of Hallux Valgus among policemen in Nashik.3.To determine the association between the severity of Hallux Valgus and quality of life among policemen. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among policemen in Nashik. The severity of Hallux Valgus was assessed using the Hallux Valgus Angle (HVA) measured with a goniometer, and participants were categorized into normal, mild, and moderate deformity groups. Quality of life was evaluated using the Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), which assesses pain, walking/standing, and social/emotional domains. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the correlation and association between deformity severity and quality of life. Results: The study findings showed that Hallux Valgus was prevalent among policemen, with most participants presenting mild to moderate deformity. A significant association was observed between increasing severity of HV and reduced quality of life, as indicated by higher MOXFQ scores (p < 0.05). Policemen with moderate deformity reported greater pain and functional limitations, demonstrating a measurable negative impact on daily activities and well-being. Conclusion: Hallux Valgus significantly affects the quality of life of policemen in Nashik, with severity of deformity directly correlating with functional disability and discomfort. Early screening, appropriate footwear, physiotherapy interventions, and preventive strategies are recommended to reduce progression and improve occupational performance and daily functioning. |
