During static weight bearing, forefoot varus is the foot posture where the forefoot compensates by abducting and everting, resulting in a more planus foot.
What are these foot postures?
Forefoot varus is a condition in which the forefoot is turned inward, causing the arch of the foot to collapse. This can lead to pain, discomfort, and difficulty walking.
To compensate for forefoot varus, the forefoot may abduct and evert. Abduction is the movement of a limb away from the midline of the body, and eversion is the movement of the sole of the foot away from the midline of the body. These movements help to realign the forefoot and reduce the inward collapse of the arch.
Rearfoot valgus is a condition in which the heel is turned outward, causing the arch of the foot to flatten. Hammer toes and Morton's toe are conditions that affect the toes, not the arch of the foot.
Therefore, the only condition that causes the forefoot to abduct and evert in an attempt to compensate for the inward collapse of the arch is forefoot varus.
