Playing doctor   ;D.

Can you walk on just your heels?  The real question is whether you can easily hold your toes up against the pressure of balancing on your heels.  Can you walk effectively on your tippy toes?  Can you stand on the edge of a stair with just your toes on the stair and hold yourself up? Again the question is muscle strength in the calf?  When walking, would others say your gait is normal?  When you step with your right foot forward, do you still have control of your foot or do the toes tend to slap down on the ground?
