Hallux limitus is a term used to mean limited motion of the big toe during walking or running. It is non-specific in its meaning, so it could mean the toe can potentially move its full range of motion but doesn’t when walking, or it might mean there is some damage to the big toe joint that limits how much it could move. If you have arthritis in the big toe joint, see Hallux Rigidus in the condition list. For more information, click here.
