Subtalar Joint Axis Rotational and Translational Motions During Closed Kinetic Chain Pronation and Supination - Sagittal Plane Motion In this three dimensional animation of the medial view of the weightbearing foot skeleton during closed kinetic chain subtalar joint (STJ) pronation and supination, the STJ axis is noted to undergo plantarflexion during pronation and dorsiflexion during supination. As the talus plantarflexes during STJ pronation, note how the STJ axis plantarflexes along with the

Subtalar Joint Axis Rotational and Translational Motions During Closed Kinetic Chain Pronation and Supination In this three dimensional animation of the posterior, medial and dorsal view of the weightbearing foot skeleton during closed kinetic chain subtalar joint (STJ) pronation and supination, the STJ axis is noted to undergo significant internal rotation, plantarflexion and medial translation during during pronation. In addition, during STJ supination, the STJ axis undergoes external rotation

Subtalar Joint Mobilization In this video excerpt, Erik demonstrates one method for mobilizing the subtalar joint. People need functional movement in the subtalar joint to lessen wear and tear and reduce damaging knee, hip, and low back compensation. Pain from plantar fasciitis and medial shin splints often have roots in a dysfunctional talocalcaneal articulation where the talus has glided forward on the calcaneus and become fixated there. Would you like to learn manual techniques to mobilize th

Anatomy, Range of Motion and Neutral Position of the Subtalar Joint The subtalar joint (STJ) allows triplanar motion of the foot relative to the leg. STJ pronation involves dorsiflexion, abduction and eversion of the foot relative to the leg. STJ supination involves plantarflexion, adduction and inversion of the foot to the leg. This triplanar motion of the STJ is important during human bipedal locomotion to allow the frontal plane motions of the foot to occur along with transverse plane motions
