a majority range of motion for the hallux is 90 degree, you should have practically a right angle near.
you can get it when you are youthful, and a lot of times its heritable, especially if you have long bones - i.e you are high and slender.
hallux rigidus can be treated by surgery to remove the bony outgrowth that is stopping your toe flexing, its quite simple surgery, but may have to be repeated when you are elder as it can reoccur.
you can still run and walk, you only have to choose the right footwear, you can return with something called a rocker bottom sole (ask a podiatrist), which is how it sounds, the sole of your shoe is resembling the base of a rocking stool - not really noticeable, and this help you as with hallux rig you cannot flex your foot when walking properly.
untreated you will compensate for the misshapenness by twisting off your 1st metatarsal pave the way which may eventually cause a corn, or sore spot.
dont verbs - very treatable condition, see a podiatrist 4 more proposal
