11« 27. Talipes Equinus. — Plaster cast of the left foot of an adult, 

 with a very marked degree of talipes equinus. 



The person must have walked on the balls of the toes. 

 The foot is in direct line with the leg. The outline of the 

 dorsum of the foot is at an angle with that of the leg, in a direc- 

 tion the reverse of what is usual. G. C. 3507. 



11. 28. Talipes Cavus. — Plaster cast of a left foot — illustrating the 

 above. 



The foot, which is unusually short and well arched, is slightly 

 abducted. The toes are strongly flexed at the second joint, and 

 over extended at the metatarsal phalangeal joint. Duchenne 

 has pointed out that the abduction and hollow shape of the foot 

 is due to weakness of the gastro-cnemius and soleus muscles.

 come well on the ground. G. C. 3509.
