Summary

This study compares two taping methods—rigid tape and kinesiology tape—to see which one improves foot mechanics faster in people with hallux valgus (bunions). About 30 adults with mild to moderate bunions will try both tapes. The goal is to find a quick, non-surgical way to ease discomfort and improve walking.
