    Anyone have a copy of the paper? It would support my contention, in the anterior tibial thread, that the posterior tibial tendon has very very little moment arm at the ankle joint.

    Hello,
    Which are the relevance of this study from the perspective of subtalar joint rotational equilibrium as in the rotation axis considered were medial-lateral, anterior-posterior and inferior-superior ?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    The subtalar joint has the least amount of motion in the sagittal plane. The average inclination of the axis will have approximately equal amounts of motion in the transverse and frontal planes. If you look at the graphs of moment arm for the Achilles tendon, you can see that it had a very small moment arm in the coronal (transverse) and the frontal planes and a very large moment arm in the sagittal plane. This is consistent with what we thought before that the Achilles is primarily and ankle plantar flexor and can have a variable effect at the STJ.

    The graphs also show that the post tib also has the smallest lever arm of any muscle in the sagittal plane, so it would be a very poor plantar flexor of the ankle. That fact was relevant in a different thread that I wish I could remember the name of.

  6. I think it is this one - How significant is the Peroneus longus as a Plantarflexor of the 1st Ray?
