12] Advanced Gait Analysis And Biomech Foot Orthoses Flashcards
Normal Fick angle
5-18 degrees is normal
Normal femoral torsion angle
8-15 degrees
Normal tibial torsion angle
12-18 degrees
Sign of pronation
Too many oes sign
Midtarsal joint for pronation approach
Parallel
Which foot is rigid vs flexible
Pronation = flexible foot Supination = rigid foot
Rearfoot varus heel strike
Increased calcaneal inversion and pronation
Rearfoot varus at midstance
Supination from pronated position
- level arm less stable
Shearing for rearfoot varus
Callus under 2nd met head
Associated pathologies with rearfoot varus
Post tib tendonitis
Plantar fasciitis
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
Achilles tendonitis
Forefoot varus at heel strike
Calcaneal normal
Forefoot varus at midstance
Stays pronated
- lever arm less stable
Callus where for forefoot varus
Medical hallux at push off
Associated pathos for forefoot varus
HAV Plantar fasciitis 2nd met stress Fx Metatarsalgia (Morten’s neuroma) Achilles tendonitis PFPS
Abductors twist observed when
Between flat foot and heel rise
What happens in abductors twist
Heel moves medially and forefoot ABDucts
- midtarsal it unlocks and STJ fails to resupinate so its flexible
