English term or phrase: scurvy

Az ausztrál felfedező, Douglas Mawson 1912-es expedíciójáról ezt írja a szöveg:
He lost his 2 companion - one to an accident and one to starvation - and was himself so stricken with scurvy he had to tie his soles back onto his feet after they had fallen off.

Szóval mitől volt sújtva ez a szegény ember? Mert a scurvy itt nem melléknév, és csak 1 főnévi jelentését találtam: skorbut.
De az sem derül ki, hogy a saját talpa, vagy a cipő talpa esett le (soles).
A segítséget előre is köszönöm.
