Foot Eversion/Inversion and the Rockers

The lower portion of the Lateral Line works hardest from heel strike to weight acceptance, with the large deltoid of hip abductors contracting strongly to prevent too much adduction and gluteus maximus assisting the control of femoral rotation and further hip flexion (more on this in chapter 5). If we follow this lateral force down the leg along the Lateral Line, some of it should cross over the head of the fibula and affect the fibularis longus and brevis.

It is possible that some of the force of the strong contraction of the iliotibial tract helps the foot adapt to the ground on heel strike. The fibularis longus could assist the fall of the medial arch, and the fibularis brevis may pull the base of the fifth metatarsal—and thereby the forefoot—into a lateral rotation (see fig. 4.5).
