Mechanical axis of the lower limb

Hello everyone, I am a student of podiatry'm doing an assessment of the lower limb mechanical axis in pronator syndrome, I wanted to ask if you can recommend articles or books on the subject.
thank you very much.

 

Re: axis mechanical of the lower limb

This one should do it - Van Langelaan EJ: A kinematical analysis of the tarsal joints: An x-ray photogrammetric study.
Acta Orthop. Scand., 54:Suppl. 204, 135-229, 1983.

This may help as well

IN VITRO AND IN VIVO DETERMINATION OF ANKLE JOINT AND SUBTALAR JOINT AXES USING THE HELICAL AXIS METHOD

and this

The Subtalar Joint Axis Locator

and this

Rotational equilibrium across the subtalar joint axis

and this

Subtalar Joint Axis Location and Rotational Equilibrium Theory of Foot Function

and this

Scientific approach to the axis of rotation at the midtarsal joint.

Go forth - research and read ye student...

 

I not even sure what you mean by this. Can you explain further? Its probably something I am familiar with under a different name maybe?

 

The mechanical axis of the lower limb is a radiographic measurement done on long-leg anterior-posterior radiographs where a line is drawn from the center of the femoral head to the center of the ankle joint mortise. It is commonly used for pre-operative planning by orthopedic surgeons for calculating proper total knee joint arthroplasty alignment or tibial osteotomy alignment for knee osteoarthritis surgeries. I have never heard of this radiographic measurement being used for "pronator syndrome". In fact, I have never even heard of "pronator syndrome".

 

Thank you for your reply, I made ​​an error in translation, the study I am doing in assessing mechanical axis of the lower limb in patients with pronation, aged 18-30 years, with gait analysis. If you have mechanical axis of the material to counsel or otherwise on the subject of my study.
thank you very much.
