a typo
Note from asker:
Very clever indeed. I took a close look at the document again ... it's NOT a typo, but I'm working from a somewhat blurry PDF document made from a fax copy. When I look at the "l" very carefully I can see that it was an "í" -- an accented i that became distorted.
Peer comment(s):

agree Yasser El Helw : I hadn't seen the i/l mix-up. Very clever of you :-)

Also, (high) steppage gait. You obviously lift your leg high when your foot drops.

PIE CAVO

Hi Joseph,
I've never heard of "pie caldo" but it may be a typo for "pie cavo" which is "high foot arch" in English.
It if were to be "caldo" then it may have somethng t do with "sweaty feet" but I doubt it very much. Cheers, Ian
Note from asker:
Hi Ian, you're right in that it wasn't 'caldo'. See my note to Liz below.
