Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G. Gierlinski 1991Bipedal in gait. Tridactyl pes, with hallux sometimes also imprinted. Two phalangeal pads are present in the pedal digit III. The pedal digit IV is longest. In the trackway, the pes is directed inward. Ratio of pes length to stride 1:3.8. Ratio of pes length to pace 1:2.3. Pace angulation 103°. The angle between pedal digits II and III is always larger than that one between digits III and IV. The angle between pedal digits II and IV varies from 50° to 56°.
