The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so on the top of the foot the short toe extensors are doing a lot of work and the long toe extensors are not yeah this is one of those things where if you're listening to us this is very difficult to understand it's it's why watching what you're saying makes a lot of sense and and and again just so folks understand the extensors would be pulling back the flexors would curl forward and so it seems counterintuitive to say how can a hammer toe be in part driven by this extensor phenomenon well if the short extensors the ones that attach with a shorter moment arm are fired up and the long ones are relaxed it actually looks like a hyperflexion
on the bottom of the foot it's the exact opposite I have my short flexors that aren't doing anything in my long flexors who are so hammer toes is it's a muscle imbalance due to a weakness in the foot
