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.
What Is Hallux Rigidus? Hallux rigidus is a disorder of the joint located at the base of the big toe. It causes pain and stiffness in the joint, and with time it gets increasingly harder to bend the toe. Hallux refers to the big toe, while rigidus indicates that the toe is rigid and cannot move. Because hallux rigidus is a progressive condition, the toe's motion decreases as time goes on. In its earlier stage, when motion of the big toe is only somewhat limited, the condition is called hallux limitus.
