| The description of the foot in the diagnosis of the family is based on the pes of this species. |
| Sometimes as in the Bears the pes is plantigrade, sometimes as in the Cats and Dogs it is digitigrade. |
| Therefore, taxonomic designation based on only manus prints would be premature without associated pes impressions. |
| If other members of the family have similar symptoms, pes cavus, or claw toes, the patient may have hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy. |
| The variance in the general build of the manus and pes is presumably due to scaling with respect to the wide range in body sizes seen among synapsids. |
| This is divisible into three portions, the thigh, the crus or shin, and the pes. |
