23.01.2022 Medially deviated subtalar joint axis - more than just a flat foot. . The subtalar joint is a functional joint that acts as a mechanical link between the foot and lower extremity. . Medially deviated subtalar joint axis is a term that was first described by Kevin Kirby in 1987.... . It is a term used to describe a variation in spatial location of the subtalar joint (STJ) axis. Pronation and supination moments are produced across the subtalar joint axis by the effects of ground reaction force and muscular contractile force. . A foot with a medially deviated STJ axis causes a net increase in pronation moment, whereas a foot with a laterally deviated STJ axis will result in a net increase in supination moment. This concept is described as STJ rotational equilibrium. . During weight bearing examination, feet with a medially deviated STJ axis present with a convex shape to the medial aspects of the rearfoot and mid foot, excessive STJ pronation, dorsiflexed 1st ray and forefoot abduction. . Common conditions associated with a medially deviated STJ are tibialis posterior tendon pathology, plantar fascia pathology and sinus tarsi syndrome. . Locating the STJ axis via palpation is the key to success with orthotic therapy. Prescription should be based on unloading effected structures. Reference: Dr. Kevin Kirby.

This is a 67 year old patient that isn’t prepared to sacrifice his extremely active lifestyle at the expense of medial foot and ankle pain. . These devices are 18 months old and have successfully alleviated all symptoms and improved foot function drastically. . A simple recover will hopefully see a further 18 months pain free See more

Three goals of orthotic prescription when using tissue stress theory are:... Reducing the pathological loading forces on the injured structural components of the foot and lower limb.
