RF/Subtalar Joint Varus – Compensated ST Varus & FF Valgus – Flexible PF 1st Ray
RF/Subtalar Joint Varus - Pathomechanics Varus position of RF @ IC magnitude of pronation duration of pronation rapid supination following TO
RF/Subtalar Joint Varus - Compensation Excessive pronation at STJ
RF/Subtalar Joint Varus – Compensated ST Varus & FF Valgus – Flexible PF 1st Ray
RF/Subtalar Joint Varus - Pathology Chronic ankle sprains 20 calcaneal EV Plantar keratosis @ 2nd MET PL tendinitis 20 rapid supination TP tendinitis 20 deceleration of pronation Achilles tendinitis 20 active supination
Supination Closed-chain Calcaneus inversion (varus) Talus abduction (ER - vertical axis) Talus dorsiflexion Tibial ER
Abnormal Supination Excessive in magnitude Excessive in duration Occurs at wrong time Causes: Intrinsic deformities Extrinsic deformities
Abnormal Supination - Etiology FF valgus PF first ray FF equinus deformities
Abnormal Supination - Pathology Lack of shock absorption plantar lesions 1st and 5th ray trauma abnormal pronation during propulsion
Forefoot Valgus
Forefoot Valgus – Flexible PF 1st Ray
Forefoot Valgus – Rigid PF 1st Ray/Total
Forefoot Valgus - Rigid PF 1st Ray/Total 1st ray always p-flexed relative to other MET heads medial foot load prematurely lateral aspect of foot loaded prior to HO “abnormal supination”
Peroneus Longus Pulley lateral malleolus calcaneus - peroneal notch cuboid - peronal groove base of 1st MET and medial cuneiform
Peroneus Longus Pulley Pronated Foot
Peroneus Longus Pulley plantarflexor of 1st ray cinches tarsal-metatarsal articulations FF --> HO
Tibialis Posterior distal lateral tibia navicular attaches to all tarsals (except talus) attaches to base of MET 2-4
Tibialis Posterior Strong supinator HS --> FF late midstance --> HO inconsistent thru MSt IC LR MSt TSt PSw ISw MSw TSw IC
FHL medial malleolus talus 1st MET head (sesamoid) attaches to distal phalanx cinches foot assists w/ supination FF --> TO
FHL cinches foot assists w/ supination MSt --> TO IC LR MSt TSt PSw ISw MSw TSw IC
Conclusions Pronation - hypermobilities Supination - hypomobilities Either can cause a reduced ability to: attenuate forces convert torque adapt to terrain become a rigid lever

Guidelines for Posting Maximal FF posting: males: 7 - 8 mm (10 = 1 mm) females: 5 - 6 mm shoewear dependent
Guidelines for Posting FF Varus Deformity: medial FF area If FF deformity > maximal FF posting allows post RF 4mm) FF Valgus Deformity: lateral FF area
Guidelines for Posting Equinus Deformity: stretching w/ foot in STJN lift RF 50% of lacking range - maybe done initially in acute cases maximum in-shoe lift: 0.25” (7mm) balance out contralateral limb
