Supination resistance and bodyweight

Martin and Colleagues:

Sounds like good basic research. The supination resistance idea has a lot of research potential if we can eliminate some of the factors that may causing error in interpreting where the force is being applied to the plantar foot to produce subtalar joint supination. The study that needs to be done is comparing normal feet to feet with posterior tibial dysfunction, mapping out the STJ axis before the test to see how it correlates to supination resistance. This would be a hugely important paper to publish. I know Craig Payne also has some data on this and on unilateral inversion ankle sprainers, which should also needs to be published. If this device could be perfected, like I know some are working on currently who are contributors to Podiatry Arena, then I think the research potential is nearly limitless. This research would tie in nicely with the research we had published recently in JAPMA on static changes in calcaneal position with inverted and everted foot orthoses.

 

supination resistance test

hello all

My understanding of the supination resistance test is that a more lateral deviated stj axis would more likely mean a low supination resistance and a more medial stj axis would mean a higher supination resistance.

Can someone explain why sometimes when I am for example looking at two people with medially deviated stj axis one weights say 15 stone and male and the other weighs 8 stone and female.

What reasons would you give for the lighter female giving a higher supination resistance score? Sorry if this has been answered previously.

thanks scott

 

Hello everybody.. can anyone tell me where I can find the article "Methods for determination of positional variations in the subtalar joint axis" as on JAPMA is found as Citation Only :/

Thanks in advance!
