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.
Specifically, vertical integration occurs when a company assumes control over several production or distribution steps involved in the creation of its product or service. Vertical integration can be carried out in two ways: backward integration and forward integration. A company that expands backward on the production path into manufacturing is assuming backward integration, while a company that expands forward on the production path into distribution is conducting forward integration.
