Transverse plane motion at the ankle joint great than the sub-talar I think I can hear another parad

Hi

I recently attended a lecture by Professor Chris Nestor from Salford University, who, by what I can only describe as commitment to bio-mechanical research way beyond the call of duty, has discovered something quite new.

He claims,in short, buy using goniometry where the small reflective markers were drilled into the articulating bones (his) and not just stuck to the skin surface, to have shown that there is considerably marked transverse plane motion occurring at the ankle joint and in some cases as much or even more than the sub-talar joint.

From what I could understand, the motion was measured occurring from from with the ankle joint and not (as I personally asked him to clarify) as a component of transverse plane motion of tibia and fibula.

I thought as a first post for me on this forum. This might be a worthwhile topic starter.

Maybe the final nail in the coffin for Rootian Theory.....

Hi Martin,

This isn't particularly new - read the (excellent) paper he published in 2009: t.co/x79ELkxW

It certainly isn't a paradigm.

 

Hi Martin,

:welcome: to the Arena. As Ian G stated, this aint nuffin` new. One key point that Nester stressed was that we need to disassociate ourselves with paradigms, which infer that cookbook prescriptions can fit a range of pathologies. The pin bone study certainly woke up a few who were snoozing around me. What happens in Sweden, stays in Sweden. Thanks to arkaic ethical approval.....

 

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome and the reference. I tried looking for that albeit not too hard. Its a long drive back from Harrogate.

I was under the impression this was cutting edge stuff, I'll have a jolly good read later this evening.

Yes I remember Prof Nestor describing the initial research on the cadavers and the bone pin experiment in a previous presentation but it wasn't written all up then.

I've been sulking around this forum for some time while I've been relearning the new approach to bio-mechanical foot issues and treatments. It's a marvellous resource. I look forward to becoming more involved on a few topics in the future.

Regards

Martin

You are not alone. I too am reading many a night here. All been time well spent.
