Research Abstract

The people who have a floating toe deformity do not build a base of support. As a result, it is difficult to move the center of foot pressure forward when walking. In addition, people that have a floating toe deformity have concentrated pressure on the plantar metatarsal heads, and, therefore, floating toe deformities can cause foot alignment anomalies.
