Casey is currently full weight bearing without precaution following her bunionectomy 8 weeks ago. Casey demonstrates minimal loading of the medial aspect of her foot during the stance phase of gait when compared with the nonoperative side. Her ambulation is currently pain-free. The physical therapist has noted that her first MTP joint passive range of motion and active range of motion dorsiflexion and plantarflexion are within normal limits. The manual muscle testing of the flexor hallucis was a 5/5 bilaterally. What could this scenario indicate?
