The osseous locking mechanism is a bit of a furphy.There are variations in stiffness of the MTJ with variations in the position of the STJ. Measuring medial longitudinal arch deformation during gait Clinical evaluation of medial longitudinal arch deformation (MLAD) during walking gait is often estimated from static measures of e.g. navicular drop (ND) measured during quiet standing. The aim of the present study was to test the reliability of a new three-dimensional method of measuring the MLAD during gait and to compare this method with a static measure and a 2D dynamic method. Fifty-two feet (26 healthy male participants) were tested twice 4-9 days apart in a biomechanical gait analysis laboratory using a 3D three-marker foot model, a 2D video-based model for the measurement of MLAD during gait, and ND for measurements of MLAD during quiet standing. This has led to a disgraceful situation within our profession. These corporate companies have obtained the Podiatry contracts, and then employ Podiatrists on appalling pay conditions. The Podiatrist completes all of the back breaking work in the facility, then goes home and autoclaves instruments, whilst the company retains 50% of the Podiatrist's billings as a "management fee".
