Funded Activity Summary

Arthritis of the big toe joint is a common and disabling problem in many Australians, but few effective treatments are available. This project will determine whether a combination of exercises and wearing a special shoe with a curved sole (a rocker-sole shoe) is more effective in treating this condition than exercises alone.
