We present a case report of runner’s hallux limitus and the effect of dynamic splinting in reducing contracture as measured by gait analysis. After 4 months of treatment with dynamic splinting, the patient regained 45° in active range of motion, and the gait analysis showed significant and beneficial changes. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 99(4): 367–370, 2009)
