Not a biologist or anything, but my understanding is that muscle is attached to bone by ligaments and tendons, and bone thickens at the attachment sites with exercise. The more you exercise, the thicker these attachment sites become. So they don't need to examine the muscle tissue directly to tell how heavily muscled the toes were.

Thanks for that explanation. I've never heard that but it makes sense.
