I was looking for some stuff for another thread and came across this Chinese medical paper ( it´s in English) maybe not our most read journals, but the paper is quite intersting.

Heres some highlights ....

So Subtalar Joint neutral is not the neutral position of the Subtalar joint, when the concave and convex surfaces were completely congruous.

Adds another nail to the coffin ? Perhaps but something to consider.

 

Mike i came across this study a while ago and we did discuss it at the time, if i get the chance i'll try and link you to the thread.

 

Simon , it would be great to have a look at the old thread, thanks

 

I too remember us covering this before, as I have had this article for a while and am certain I got it off the arena a couple of years back. I'll try and find the thread too

No mention of applying tension to the Achilles tendon during loading of the tibia. How did they load the forefoot to simulate weightbearing activity or prevent dorsiflexion of the distal aspect of talus on the calcaneus when they loaded the tibia? If you push down on the tibia of the cadaver you will create a plantarflexion moment of the calcaneus and a dorsiflexion moment on the forefoot. I’m not sure about the methodology here.
