| AP Axial Toes Evaluation Criteria | ANATOMY: distal phalynx -> half of metatarsals CRITERIA: IP and MTP joints open no overlap from adjacent digits equal concavity on either side of digits POSITIONING: CR 10 caudal @ 3rd MTP joint |

| What's wrong with this AP Axial Toe? | DIP is closed - toe is flexed essential anatomy is coned off |
| more concave to the medial side of the 1st digit - foot/toe is rotated laterally | |
