Muscle Weakness: Hello: Weakness of the tendons to the toes has two main factors that must be assessed by a foot specialist. First is if there is nerve damage. Second if there muscle weakness or a problem with the tendon. A foot specialist can make the diagnosis and order further tests based on your examination.
