Description: BioMechanics January 2001 By Arthur Manoli II, MD, and Brian Graham, CPed
Much less is known of the other common-"opposite"-pathologic disorder, the subtle cavus foot (SCF). In this disorder the foot assumes a posture of an inward tipping of the heel (heel supination or varus), and a related forefoot pronation (forefoot valgus). The first metatarsal is plantar-flexed and the arch is excessively high (cavus).
