i have a question about the SJT neutral. I always read that STJ is where the STJ is neither pronated or suppinated. if thats the case, then why is it whenever you exam a patient in STJ neutral, they usually have some sort rearfoot valgus or varus.
i also hear that STJ neutral means that the talar and calceaneal joint is congruent. does it mean if that joint is congruent, that by definition, there will be no displacement of the talus or calcanues on eachother, meaning either supination or pronation in that joint??
the only thing i can think of, is that STJ neutral in a normal foot, means that the leg bisection and heel bisection are parallel. If a patient has some type of rearfoot valgus or valgus, it means that when their STJ is in neutral (ie talar and calcaneal joint spaces are congruent), there is no pronation or suppination specifically in or at the STJ, but the calcaneus is still either everted or inverted when compared to the leg (maybe due to ossues or ST factors). is that right?? thanks for your help anyone!!
