As a student, I was wondering if someone could put me on the right path, by answering the following:

What is the functional significance of extended digits during weightbearing?
Is this indeed "hyperextension", even when the digits are only within a standard ROM, or is it simply necessary to document as "contracture of the extensors of the foot present"?
Does this purely indicate a biomechanical pathology or does it indicate something deeper in any circumstance?
Is muscle contracture of the foot extensors considered "normal" during double-limb support?
It may be a purely fundamental concept/piece of terminology I have missed but I'm having trouble pinpointing what it is that I want to research and I keep reaching dead ends.
Thank you :)
