Appropriate Placement of Metatarsal Pads

In a follow-up to our last IGTV video, here we look at appropriate place in metatarsal pads. Metatarsal pads can do a great job to lift and separate the individual metatarsal heads and create space for things like neuromas and alter the forefoot mechanics. They are not a substitute for appropriate exercise and strengthening.

This individual had right “sixth toe“ disease and the metatarsal pad was being used by a podiatrist to alter for foot mechanics. It was clearly too far back on the right side.

6th Toe Disease

It’s probably fair to say that a good number of us see people with “sixth toe” problems or a Taylor’s bunion more often than not. This problem is often accompanied by internal tibial torsion and sometimes femoral retro torsion. This video reviews a case that came in yesterday.
