Jay,
    I think that is a great idea!  I think that it would be even better to
take it one step further and to put together a volunteer group, or groups of
the peers of this list to breakdown different foot pathology into functonal
and structural components.  In other words we could identify certain hot
points to focus on when dealing with plantar fascitis, or neuromas for
example.  Decide exactly what parameters to evaluate and a way to do that
quickly and effectively adn to easily record it and to compare it to others
on the list or elsewhere.  It would have to be a combination of styles of
course, but the groups could eliminate the overlap and clarify the
semantics.  I think that if this were done, then it would be a great
starting point for a uniform treatment protocol, and physical exam protocol.
Think of the studies that could be done in conjunction everywhere!
Ah, Utopia!!!  Woo, out of breath there after climbing the steps to my
castle in the sky!!! ; - )
Just an idea folks!
Good Nite!
Bruce
