    "The study results suggest that the degree of strain applied within the AT with subtalar joint pronation is not constant" = subject specific response

    "when the subtalar joint was pronated, MG, LG, and Sol stretched"
    Could that in turn mean that a short or inflexible tenton-muscle unit promotes or even exaggerates an excessive rearfoot eversion in for example flexible flatfoot?
    Can the results of this study hint towards this hypotheses or does anyone know of any study in this direction?
     
  5. A short musculo-tendon unit should result in increased internal supination moment acting about the subtalar joint axis, but the reason we see increased pronation in concert with tight/ short tendo Achilles is explained by the equinus paradox.
