![]() Magic! Retest calcaneal tilt (valgus) and it will be noticeably improved. ![]() Therefore, the posterior aspect of the calcaneues moves towards midline (back of the left heel moves toward the right, back of the right heel moves left). In performing calcaneal abduction the front of the calcaneus is moving laterally. Take the calcaneus into inferior distraction to maximize space between the inferior talus and the calcaneus, then abduct it repeatedly at end-range 30 times. Clasp the back of the calcaneus, where the achilles tendon is. With client lying prone (face down), or kneeling on a treatment table, with feet off the edge. However, I do address all other major motions of the foot and ankle which are described below (See Major Motions of the Foot and Ankle in the section titled: Cuboid Syndrome). The secret? Does anyone know this? One can easily restore normal calcalneal valgus/eversion and by mobilizing the sub talar joint the joint where the calcaneus and the bottom of the talus connect. ![]() Work on restoring calcaneal eversion/valgus. If a cuboid is chronically symptomatic, and it requires repeat treatment, look at the calcaneus. If you look at the joint formed by cuboid and calcaneus, you will see that it allows rotation, which participates in both functional pronation and functional supination. The calcaneus is much larger and has a much greater mechanical advantage on the cuboid, inducing rotation. ![]() The cuboid is profoundly influenced by the calcaneus. ![]()
