Hi everyone,

I'm a bit confused about this and I'm sure there's a simple explanation.
At uni I was taught that the rear foot position is measured by assessing NCSP and RCSP when weight-bearing with the sub-talar joint in neutral and the patient standing in their angle and base of gait. This was deemed in a large number of cases to be a rearfoot varus when NCSP was greater than 4-5 degrees inverted. The type of rearfoot varus depended on the amount of compensation.
However in a non-weight-bearing position and with the sub-talar joint in neutral the rearfoot in many cases is parallel to the ground ie not everted or inverted.
Why this discrepancy? Or are they two different measurements.
Would appreciate it if someone would remove this senior moment!!
