Figure 1. (A, B) While the right lower leg has a normal appearance, note a global slimming of the left. (C) Close-up picture of the soles of the feet showing bilateral and symmetric pes cavus. (D) He has no difficulty in standing on tiptoe. (E) Conversely, standing on the heels is not possible on the left; note that apparently exaggerated extension of the left big toe tries to compensate for lack of strength of TA. (F) Close-up lateral view of the feet showing toe clawing and normal dorsal extension of the big toes in good correlation with preserved strength of EHL. Pictures obtained with written permission from the patient (TIFF 5840 kb)
