Popis: This is study analysesthe relatinship between leg rotatin and the maedial arch of the foot. Materials were three amputated legs. Which were rotated internally and externally 15 times. We measured the angles of the ankle and subtalar joint and the length of hte medial arch simultaneously. When the leg was rotated internally, the subtalar joint became everted and the medial arch lengthensd. However when the leg rotated externally, the subtalar joint inverted and the medal arch shortend. The angle of the ankle joint was not changed. Therefore rotatin of the leg related to change in the medial arch.
