I notice Craig's favorite thing is Functional Hallux Limitus.
a. Any links to explain his thinking?
b. Do tight long flexor muscles have any input to etiology? (Intrinsics also?)
I have a pt with HUUUUUUUUUGE medial 1st IPJ callus. The only time the hallux is limited is when the ankle joint is in dorsiflexion, and that is a noticable equinus.
She only comes in for routine treatment, so sorry for the dearth of info ie angles etc.
Any ideas/input/wild geese chases would be appreciated
