    This document summarizes the motion and axes of rotation for various joints in the foot and ankle during open and closed chain movements. It finds that in open chain movements the femur, tibia, and talus are free to move, while in closed chain movements the tibia externally rotates with knee extension and internally rotates with knee flexion. At the subtalar joint, inversion and eversion occur around an oblique axis in closed chain, while the calcaneus is free to move in open chain.
