Static range of motion of the first metatarsal in the sagittal and frontal planes [PDF]
The first metatarsal and medial cuneiform form an important functional unit in the foot, called “first ray”. The first ray normal range of motion (ROM) is difficult to quantify due to the number of joints that are involved.

Associations of region-specific foot pain and foot biomechanics: the framingham foot study [PDF]
BACKGROUND. Specific regions of the foot are responsible for the gait tasks of weight acceptance, single-limb support, and forward propulsion. With region foot pain, gait abnormalities may arise and affect the plantar pressure and force pattern utilized.

An estimated 40% of the US population have foot problems. Of all patients aged over 50 years, 2.5% report degenerative arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, termed ‘hallux rigidus’. First MTP osteoarthritis is the most common arthritic condition in the foot. Progression of great toe arthritis is associated with pain and loss of motion.
