Subtalar pronator and supinator strength testing

Reliability of isometric subtalar pronator and supinator strength testing Marco Hagen, Matthias Lahner, Martin Winhuysen and Christian Maiwald Journal of Foot and Ankle Research 2015, 8:15 doi:10.1186/s13047-015-0075-8 Quote: Background Due to the specific anatomy of the subtalar joint with its oblique axis, isometric pronator and supinator strength is not well documented. The purpose of this study was to determine intra- and between-session reliability of pronator and supinator strength and lower leg muscle activity measurements during maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC). Methods Pronator and supinator peak torques (PT), with and without supplementary visual muscle strength biofeedback (FB), and muscular activities of peroneus longus (PL) and tibialis anterior (TA) were assessed twice 3 days apart by the same examiner in 21 healthy young male adults (mean age: 27.6 years; SD = 3.9).
