A failure to actively extend the ankle at the same time is a sign of a peroneal nerve palsy; an isolated toe problem suggests an L5 radiculopathy. If you are concerned that MTP pain with maximal extension is inhibiting this motion, you can test fuction this starting in maximal plantar flexion (second figure).
What is a 'Vertical Merger'. A vertical merger is a merger between two companies that operate at separate stages of the production process for a specific finished product. A vertical merger occurs when two or more firms, operating at different levels within an industry's supply chain, merge operations. Most often, the logic behind the merger is to increase synergies created by merging firms that would be more efficient operating as one.
A diagram illustrating horizontal integration and contrasting it with vertical integration. Horizontal integration is the process of a company increasing production of goods or services at the same part of the supply chain. A company may do this via internal expansion, acquisition or merger. The process can lead to monopoly if a company captures the vast majority of the market for that product or service. Horizontal integration is orthogonal to vertical integration, where companies integrate multiple stages of production of a small number of production units.
