Cuneonavicular Joint Excursion
What it Measures
The test measures the motion of the first cuneiform on a fixed navicular by moving it dorsally and plantarly through its full range. The examiner estimates what percentage of the total motion occurs in each direction (e.g., 70% plantarflexion / 30% dorsiflexion if motion is mostly plantar). The examiner also notes whether the overall mobility is limited, normal, or excessive.
Significance
- Medial arch adaptability
- Load distribution through the midfoot
- Influences forefoot alignment
Normal Value
- 50%

About
The cuneonavicular joint contributes to mobility and adaptability of the medial longitudinal arch. Measuring Cuneonavicular Joint Excursion shows how much this joint allows the arch to lower or rise as load is applied during standing and walking.
Adequate excursion helps the foot absorb shock and adapt to uneven surfaces while maintaining efficient mechanics through the forefoot and rearfoot. Too little motion may create a rigid or high-arched foot that struggles to adapt during gait, while too much motion may allow excessive arch collapse and increased strain on ligaments, tendons, and neighboring joints.
Evaluating this joint’s excursion provides insight into medial arch behavior, midfoot stability, and overall foot function.
Effect of Deviation
Limited excursion may reduce arch flexibility and increase stress on surrounding joints, while excessive excursion may contribute to arch collapse and midfoot instability.
