B, Applied movement definitions are based on the movements that occur at right angles to one of several oblique axes of rotation within the foot and ankle. The two main movements are defined as either pronation or supination.

PROGRESSIVE STABILIZATION OF THE TALOCRURAL JOINT THROUGHOUT THE STANCE PHASE OF GAIT

ROM TALOCRURAL JOINT DURING GAIT
Dr. Michael P. Gillespie FIGURE The range of motion of the right ankle (talocrural) joint is depicted during the major phases of the gait cycle. The push off (propulsion) phase (about 40% to 60% of the gait cycle) is indicated in the darker shade of green.

FACTORS THAT INCREASE THE MECHANICAL STABILITY OF DORSIFLEXED TALOCRURAL JOINT
Dr. Michael P. Gillespie FIGURE 14-20A, B. Factors that increase the mechanical stability of the fully dorsiflexed talocrural joint are shown. A, The increased passive tension in several connective tissues and muscles is demonstrated. B, The trochlear surface of the talus is wider anteriorly than posteriorly (see red line). The path of dorsiflexion places the concave tibiofibular segment of the mortise in contact with the wider anterior dimension of the talus, thereby causing a wedging effect within the talocrural joint.

MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL ARCH OF THE FOOT

MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL ARCH
Dr. Michael P. Gillespie FIGURE The medial side of a normal foot shows the medial longitudinal arch (white) and the transverse arch (red).

PASSIVE SUPPORT MECHANISM OF THE MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL ARCH

ACCEPTING BODY WEIGHT DURING STANDING
Dr. Michael P. Gillespie FIGURE 14-29A, B. Models of the foot show a mechanism of accepting body weight during standing. A, With a normal medial longitudinal arch, body weight is accepted and dissipated primarily through elongation of the plantar fascia, depicted as a red spring. The footprint illustrates the concavity of the normal arch. B, With an abnormally dropped medial longitudinal arch, the overstretched and weakened plantar fascia, depicted as an overstretched red spring, cannot adequately accept or dissipate body weight. As a consequence, various extrinsic and intrinsic muscles are active as a secondary source of support to the arch. The footprint illustrates the dropped arch and loss of a characteristic instep.

On the vertical axis, the 100% value is the height of the arch when the foot is unloaded during the swing phase. B, Plot of frontal plane range of motion at the subtalar joint (i.e., inversion and eversion of the calcaneus) throughout the stance phase. The 0-degree reference for frontal plane motions is defined as the position of the calcaneus (observed posteriorly) while a subject stands at rest. The push off phase of walking is indicated by the darker shade of purple.

B, Radiograph shows the following pathomechanics often associated with hallux valgus: (1) adduction of the first metatarsal (toward the midline of the body), evidenced by the increased angle between the first and second metatarsal bones; (2) lateral deviation of the proximal phalanx with dislocation or subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint; (3) displacement of the lateral sesamoid; (4) rotation (eversion) of the phalanges of the great toe; and (5) exposed first metatarsal head, forming the so-called “bunion.” (From Richardson EG: Disorders of the hallux.
