The Bauerfeind ValguLoc® foot brace provides therapeutic support for Hallux valgus, a deformation of the big toe that can lead to bunions. The big toe is brought into correct axial alignment by the application of small forces, and the continuous adjustable correction tape regulates the position by pressure and counterpressure, stretching the joint capsule and soft tissues. ValguLoc® is worn without shoes and is not suitable for walking.
