Your patient demonstrates decreased open chain pronation at the subtalar joint.Which of the following would be limited?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreased open chain pronation at the subtalar joint would result in a limitation of eversion of the calcaneus on the talus. This is because pronation includes eversion of the foot, which involves the calcaneus moving laterally and rotating medially on the talus. Thus, if pronation is limited, eversion of the calcaneus on the talus would also be limited. Adduction of the calcaneus on the talus and plantarflexion of the calcaneus on the talus are not directly related to pronation at the subtalar joint.
