    In my experience this observation of contributing factor to metatarsalgia is more frequent in females shorter than 5"4" tall. Chairs and desk are made for individuals 5"4" or taller. To compensate short females wear high heel shoes, sit on the edge of the chair foot plantar flexed, MTPJ max dorsiflexion weight bearing into metatarsal head. Often ladies will sit with knees crossed so one MTPJ is subjected to more stress than the other.
