What the observation engine checks

  • mortise widening
  • talar shift
  • metatarsal cortical break
  • Lisfranc spacing / alignment clues
  • hallux valgus and degenerative change

Common issues this page is designed to surface

  • malleolar fracture suspicion
  • metatarsal fracture
  • midfoot malalignment
  • degenerative foot arthritis
  • bunion / deformity observations

Optional chiropractic / alignment lens

This section is intentionally narrower. It focuses on visible alignment and biomechanics patterns, not unsupported symptom claims.

  • arch and hindfoot alignment notes where visible
  • gross loading symmetry clues
  • forefoot alignment observations without symptom overreach
