Abstract
No significant change of values was seen in the hallux valgus angle, the proximal articular set angle and the intermetatarsal angle 1/5. However, a progressive increase of the intermetatarsal angle was determined during sequential sectioning of the fascia (p=0.56). The increase of the IM angle for a static test indicates a stronger stabilizing effect on the plantar plate of the first two rays compared to the lateral forefoot. However, the overall effect of the plantar fascial release on the structure of the forefoot is not significant.
