German term or phrase: Mittelfußverwringungsschmerz bds.
This term is found under the heading "Function of the ankle joint" extension/flexion

Could it mean "bilateral midfoot wringing pain?" Or "bilateral midfoot twisting pain" ?

pain due to midfoot strain, bilateral
Explanation:
'Verwringung' denotes twisting or torsion.

I have suggested 'strain', a common and more inclusive term used in orthopedic parlance

neutral  Dr Sue Levy (X): I think "strain" is too vague a term here - this is referring to a specific movement IMO and I would go for "torsion"// midfoot torsion - a movement to be avoided - encountered especially in footwear context

  -> "Pain due to midfoot twisting", perhaps? I haven't heard of "midfoot torsion". Is the expression used?//Thanks so much! Yes, you're right about "midfoot torsion".
