Subtalar Inversion

 Sitting with knee flexed 900& lower leg over edge of table surface. Hip in 00 of rotation, add & abd. Stabilize tibia & fibula to prevent IR and extension of knee & ER & abd of hip. Over anterior aspect of ankle midway between the malleoli Anterior midline of lower leg. Reference tibial tuberosity. Anterior midline of 2nd metatarsal

Subtalar Eversion

 Sitting with knee flexed 900& lower leg over edge of table surface. Hip in 00 of rotation, add & abd. Stabilize tibia & fibula to prevent ER and flexion of knee & IR & add of hip. Over anterior aspect of ankle midway between the malleoli Anterior midline of lower leg. Reference tibial tuberosity. Anterior midline of 2nd metatarsal

Subtalar (Hindfoot) Inversion

 Prone, hip in 00 of flex, ext, abd, add, & rot. Knee in 00 of flex-ext. Foot over edge of table. Stabilize tibia & fibula to prevent hip & knee motion Over posterior aspect of ankle midway between malleoli Posterior midline of lower leg Posterior midline of lower leg

Subtalar (Hindfoot) Eversion

 Prone, hip in 00 of flex, ext, abd, add, & rot. Knee in 00 of flex-ext. Foot over edge of table. Stabilize tibia & fibula to prevent hip & knee motion Over posterior aspect of ankle midway between malleoli Posterior midline of lower leg Posterior midline of lower leg

Transverse tarsal joint Inversion

 Sitting with knee flexed 900& lower leg over edge of table surface. Hip in 00 of rotation, add & abd. Stabilize calcaneus & talus to prevent dorsiflexion of ankle & inversion of subtalar Over anterior aspect of ankle slightly distal to a point midway between malleoli Anterior midline of lower leg. Reference tibial tuberosity Anterior midline of 2nd metatarsal    

Transverse tarsal joint Eversion

 Sitting with knee flexed 900& lower leg over edge of table surface. Hip in 00 of rotation, add & abd. Stabilize calcaneus & talus to prevent plantar flexion of ankle & eversion of subtalar Over medial aspect of 1st metatarsal head Parallel to anterior midline of lower leg. Plantar aspect of 1st through 5th metatarsal heads
