Abstract
Loss of the normal function of the mediotarsal joint is, I believe, the most frequent
cause of foot complaints. This loss of function is due in great part to the use of
footwear which obstructs the normal range of motions at the mediotarsal joint.
Restoration of full use of the mediotarsal joint must be accompanied by lengthening
of muscles when shortened, strengthening when weakened and reeducation when vicious
habits have been formed. The traction shoe, adhesive plaster and an original metatarsal
shoe wedge are suggested as useful methods to this end.
