Gait Examination of Pes Cavus Deformity with Laterally Deviated Subtalar Joint Axes The walking gait of individuals that have a pes cavus deformity with a laterally deviated subtalar joint axis can be quite abnormal. Many of these individuals demonstrate rapid subtalar joint supination at heel contact during walking which increases the shock of heel contact and causes abnormal rearfoot supination at a time when the subtalar joint of the foot should be pronating. This 31 year-old male, was referr

Gait Characteristics of Cavus Foot with Laterally Deviated Subtalar Joint Axis Cavus feet have a higher-than-normal medial longitudinal arch and will, as a result, have a talar head and neck which is more dorsiflexed and externally rotated than a normal-arch or flat-arch foot. The externally rotated talar head and neck will cause these cavus feet to have laterally deviated subtalar joint (STJ) axes. As a result of their laterally deviated STJ axes, many of these cavus feet will tend to have abno
