Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 I have been meaning to send this out. This is a link to a very clear diagram of the anatomy of the foot. If you refer to it as you read a clubfoot description, it will give you a pretty good idea of things. There are some things not mentioned on it that I will put in here: subtalar joint - it is the joint of the talus and the calcaneus bones and is responsible for pronation (up and out movement) and supination (in and down movement). Lisfranc Joint - also known as the tarsometatarsal joint, it is where the metatarsals meet the cuneforms (or tarsals), laymans term is the midfoot joint. http://www.foottalk.com/anatomy.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
