Cancer Cavus Foot Disability Tax Credit
What is Cancer Cavus Foot A cavus foot means that the foot has a high arch. This is a form of muscular dystrophy called hereditary sensorimotor neuropathy. The foot can be divided into four main categories which include the forefoot (including the toes), midfoot (including the arch), hindfoot (including the heel), and the ankle.
Symptoms of Cancer Cavus Foot Symptoms of a cavus foot are likely to get worse over time with regards to pain and instability of the foot. These pains worsen during physical activities, and these symptoms occur at the Achilles tendon which is the area of the foot that is behind the ankle and near the heel bone.
Available Treatments for Cancer Cavus Foot Pain and instability can be corrected with external orthopedic devices, however surgery is another form of treatment available. Cavus foot reconstruction involves correcting all the existing deformities of the toes, the high arch, the ankle, and the muscle imbalance.
