Subtalar Joint Anatomy, Pronation, Supination and Neutral Position on Real Foot Skeleton The subtalar joint (STJ) is made up of two bones, the superiorly-located talus, and the inferiorly-located calcaneus. During range of motion of the STJ, the talus and calcaneus glide on one another on their three articular facets, the posterior, middle and anterior facets. During STJ supination, the posterior facet of the talus glides posteriorly and superiorly along the posterior facet of the calcaneus unti

Subtalar Joint Axis Rotational and Translational Motions During Closed Kinetic Chain Pronation and Supination - Sagittal Plane Motion In this three dimensional animation of the medial view of the weightbearing foot skeleton during closed kinetic chain subtalar joint (STJ) pronation and supination, the STJ axis is noted to undergo plantarflexion during pronation and dorsiflexion during supination. As the talus plantarflexes during STJ pronation, note how the STJ axis plantarflexes along with the

Manipulation of the subtalar joint, also known as the talocalcaneal joint, is a compound joint positioned directly below the ankle joint. It is comprised of the calcaneus (heel bone) and a column-shaped bone called the talus. The subtalar joint is vital to movement as it helps to readjust the lateral (side-to-side) position of your foot as you navigate uneven or shifting terrain. Without the subtalar joint, you would be unable to run, jump, walk, or move with any precision. ➡️OMT Training - Gile
