Abstract:
This article focuses on nearly 50 years of research by various authors documenting function and motion of the midtarsal joint. Subtalar joint control of the midtarsal joint, axes of motion, and quantification of range of motion are examined. The evolution of the joint from primates to man and the associated changes in functional requirements are considered.
