15. Rotation of the foot (pronation and supination) is the 1) calcaneocuboic joint 2) talocrural joint 3) transve rse tarsal (Chopart's) joint 4) tarsom etatars al (Lisfranc's)joint 5) both subtalar and talocalcaneonavicular joints

Question

15. Rotation of the foot (pronation and supination) is the 1) calcaneocuboic joint 2) talocrural joint 3) transve rse tarsal (Chopart's) joint 4) tarsom etatars al (Lisfranc's)joint 5) both subtalar and talocalcaneonavicular joints

Answer 1

The correct answer is 5) both subtalar and talocalcaneonavicular joints.The subtalar joint, also known as the talocalcaneal joint, is a synovial joint located between the talus and the calcaneus bones of the foot. This joint allows for the rotation of the foot, specifically pronation (inward rotation) and supination (outward rotation).The talocalcaneonavicular joint is another joint that contributes to the rotation of the foot. It is located between the talus, calcaneus, and navicular bones. This joint also allows for pronation and supination movements.The other options listed, such as the calcaneocuboic joint, talocrural joint, transverse tarsal (Chopart's) joint, and tarsometatarsal (Lisfranc's) joint, are not primarily responsible for the rotation of the foot.
