[10,11] The magnitude of these rotations is determined primarily by the orientation or position of the STJ axis, the shape of the articulating surfaces, and the soft tissue and ligamentous constraints of the joint. [1-4] These authors indicate that, for the medial aspect of the forefoot to make contact with the ground during stance, compensation must occur at the triplanar STJ axis. [23] Because the STJ has been described as important in the absorption of transverse rotation and impact of the lower extremity during gait, limitations in this joint could place increased stress on the plantar skin surface. |
