All, I'm trying to find a reference and definition for tip-over point /sign.

I think Craig talked about in a paper, but I also have hunch that Kevin described it first. Gentlemen?

 

Depends how you want to define it.

When I first mentioned it with Kevin we were talking at cross-puposes and thinking we were botth talking about something different.

I was intrigued by this:
Patient supine; STJ in neutral; 'lock and load' the lateral column. When you do that most people will stay in that position; however, you can not hold some people in that position without also applying an adductory force to the forefoot --- they keep wanting to pronate .... almost like the STJ 'tipping over'. ..... in what we looked at the time was those that did this had a medial STJ axis and very high supination resistance.

 

Simon:

The term "tip-over" is something Craig came up with and I did some nice illustrations for a paper we were thinking of submitting for publication.

Craig:

Don't you think it is about time you sent that paper in for publication??;):drinks

Let's discuss this at Biomechanics Summer School.
