Normal passive range of motion of the first metatarsal joint is 70Â° of extension and 45Â° of felxion. Hallux rigidus describes a first metatarsophalangeal joint with restricted range of motion. Range of motion restriction is usually a result of osteophyte accumilation in an arthritic joint.
Medically, the big toe is referred to as the hallux. Hallux limitus is a progressive arthritic condition that limits the motion and function of the hallux, usually at the big-toe joint. The big-toe joint is located where the first metatarsal bone and proximal phalanx meet, or at the base where your foot and toes meet. Hallux limitus affects the dorsiflexion (upward) motion, and over time, the condition can worsen and lead to the condition hallux rigidus, or no motion of the big-toe joint at all.
