Examination of the foot will reveal Select the Correct AnswerClawing of the toesCavus deformity of the midfootWeakness of the intrinsic musclesDecreased ankle range of motionDecreased subtalar joint range of motionCorrect Answer: Decreased subtalar joint range of motion Explanation: The oblique foot radiograph reveals a calcaneonavicular coalition, which is not associated with neurologic conditions. There would be no physical examination of clawing of the toes, cavus deformity, or weakness. The range-of-motion limitation would occur at the subtalar joint and not the ankle joint.
