Brief description Arthritis of the big toe joint is a common, disabling and costly problem in many Australians, but few effective treatments are available. This project will determine whether a combination of exercises and wearing a special inexpensive insert that stiffens the shoe (shoe stiffening insert) is more effective in treating this condition than exercises alone.
