What is a compensating action at the subtalar joint when structural or functional deformities exist in the foot or leg?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EExcessive pronation during the stance phase causes the midtarsal joint to remain unlocked, leading to an excessively loose foot. This is a compensatory action to adapt to structural or functional deformities. Similarly, when the foot is in a pronated position, the peroneus longus tendon's ability to stabilize the first ray is compromised, resulting in hypomobility. Both of these actions are compensatory mechanisms to deal with abnormalities in the foot or leg.
