Term
ligaments of the STJ
Definition
interosseous ligament - limits inversion and eversion (but mostly eversion)
cervical ligament - limits inversion
Term
STJ axis
Definition
42 degree inclination from transverse plane
16 degree medial deviation from sagittal plane
Term
STJ normal motion
Definition
has triplanar motion (pronation and supination)
almost equal ratio of inversion-eversion to ABduction-ADduction
Term
Supination - OKC
Definition
frontal - inversion
sagittal - plantarflexion
transverse - ADduction
Term
Supination - CKC
Definition
frontal - calcaneal inversion
sagittal - talar dorsiflexion
transverse - talar ABduction
Term
pronation - OKC
Definition
frontal - eversion
sagittal - dorsiflexion
transverse - ABduction
Term
pronation - CKC
Definition
frontal - calcaneal eversion
sagittal - talar plantarflexion
transverse - talar ADduction
Term
STJ neutral
Definition
point at which STJ is neither pronated or supinated
Term
STJ ROM
Definition
30 degree total ROM
2:1 ratio supination (calcaneal inversion) to pronation (calcaneal eversion)
Term
kirby method
Definition
method to map out deviated STJ axis
Term
STJ laterally located
Definition
less force to supinate the foot
Term
STJ medially located
Definition
greater force to supinate the foot
Term
Relaxed Calcaneal Stance Position (RCSP)
Definition
position of STJ (calcaneus) when patient is fully compensated in midstance
normal is 2 degrees varus to 2 degrees valgus
Term
Neutral Calcaneal Stance Position (NCSP)
Definition
position of STJ (calcaneus) when patient is placed in neutral position while standing
Term
Tibial Stance Position (Tibial Influence)
Definition
bisection of tibia in relation to the ground while in NCSP
normal - tibia in 0-4 degrees varus
can add this value to STJ neutral to find NCSP
