Table 1 Positioning and approximate borders of the metatarsal domes
From: Effects of metatarsal domes on plantar pressures in older people with a history of forefoot pain
Position tested* | Proximal border | Distal border | Medial border | Lateral border |
|---|---|---|---|---|
5 mm proximal to the metatarsal heads | 15 mm distal to the styloid process of the 5th metatarsal | 5 mm proximal to the metatarsal heads | Medial margin of the 2nd metatarsal | Lateral margin of the 4th metatarsal |
In-line with the metatarsal heads | 20 mm distal to the styloid process of the 5th metatarsal | In-line with the metatarsal heads | Medial margin of the 2nd metatarsal | Lateral margin of the 4th metatarsal |
5 mm distal to the metatarsal heads | 25 mm distal to the styloid process of the 5th metatarsal | 5 mm distal to the metatarsal heads | Medial margin of the 2nd metatarsal | Lateral margin of the 4th metatarsal |
