Symptoms Can Include:
- abnormal bend in one or more of your toe joints
Relationship to Body Structure and Behavior:
Lack of lifting of swing legs will induce premature completion of the stance phase near MP joints
Weight bearing on MP joints upon incomplete stance phase causes arthritic change of the joints
Arthritic change will lead to thickening of MP joints
Adaptive flexion of toes to complete stance phase leads to forward flexion of the toes
This causes erosion of the front of the toes from the lack of plantar support
Suggestions for Prevention:
