Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| G. R. Demathieu and H. W. Oosterink 1988 | pentadactyl hand and foot, digits II, III, IV impressed clearest. When present, I and V seem to be the smallest digits. The size of the digits increase from I to IV but the differences are slight and not always apparent. The width of the foot is slightly less than the length. Behind the toes a backward directed convex sole is visible whose length is nearly equal to the length of the toes. The angle of the foot axis with the midline is ca. 15-20° outwards. The hand is circa two and a half times as long as broad. Hand positioned in front of the foot. Track width, pes angulation about 60° so that the pace displays the same measurements as the stride. |
