Summary

The aim of this study is to simulate the orthopedic treatment called Morton's extension on non-deformed patients to check the effects on each metatarsal head on its static footprint.

Detailed description

The objective of this study is to perform an assimilation of the orthopedic treatment called morton extension on non-deformed patients to verify the effects on each metatarsal head on its static footprint, specifically the mean pressures and before and after the application of the morton extension.
