Standing Subtalar Joint Axis Location Technique The axis of motion of the subtalar joint (STJ) should be of special interest to all podiatrists since the STJ axis spatial location relative to the plantar aspect of the foot largely determines the kinetics (i.e. forces and moments) of the STJ during weightbearing activities (Kirby KA: Subtalar joint axis location and rotational equilibrium theory of foot function. JAPMA, 91:465-488, 2001). The first technique described within the scientific litera
