In this context "wrong" is being used to mean that something (the foot) is not working correctly, or not as it should be. In this context "wrong" could technically be replaced with "awry" or "amiss". However, I think "wrong" is the best choice. Ex: And that's definitely the only thing awry here. = And that's definitely the only thing amiss here.
