The Subtalar Joint | Anatomy, Basic Movements, & Ligaments

The video tutorial by Kevin Tolkoff covers the anatomy and function of the Talocrural and Subtalar joints. It explains the structure and movements of these joints, focusing on plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, eversion, and inversion. The video also discusses the ligaments that stabilize the Subtalar joint, including the deltoid and lateral collateral ligaments, and their role in limiting joint movements. Additionally, it highlights the commonality of inversion ankle sprains and the grading of such injuries.

What are the two main movements allowed by the subtalar joint?

Describe the anatomical relationship between the talus and the calcaneus in the subtalar joint.

Explain the difference in range of motion between eversion and inversion at the subtalar joint.

How does the range of motion for inversion compare to that of eversion?

Describe the role of tibialis posterior and anterior in subtalar inversion.

What is the significance of the sustentaculum tali in relation to the subtalar joint?

What is the primary function of the deltoid ligament?

How do the deltoid ligaments protect against eversion?

What are the three ligaments that make up the lateral collateral ligaments (LCL) of the ankle?
