Too many toes test

Too many toes test (in-toe, normal, out-toe)

Method

This test is done with the customer sitting with the foot suspended.

  1. Ask the customer to stand in a relaxed position, with their arms by their sides and looking straight ahead.
  2. Their weight should be equally distributed over both feet. Ensure that they don’t swivel to try and see what is happening behind them as this will affect the foot posture.
  3. Kneel down a couple of meters directly behind the person in-line with the long axis of one heel.
  4. Look at the heel. Can you see any toes on either side of the foot?
  5. If you see toes on the inside of the foot, record how many toes you see.
  6. If you see more than two (2) toes on the outside of the foot, record how many toes you see in the relevant field on the website.
  7. If the foot is balanced or you can’t see any toes, enter zero (0) in the relevant field on the website.
  8. Repeat for the other foot
