Though radiograph under load is useful for foot evaluation, patients stand as they like without giving particular attention to load. In order to determine whether it is necessary to consciously place load on the forefoot for forefoot diseases such as hallux valgus, we investigated ten cases of normal feet on whether HVA, M1M2 and M1M5 changed by changing the load direction. When load was placed on the forefoot measurements were significantly higher than when placed naturally, suggesting that the value between standing naturally and placing load on the forefoot may differ.
