narrow posteriorly
wide anteriorly
dorsiflexion/plantarflexion happens at what joint
talocrural joint
main component of pronation is
dorsiflexion
main component of supination is
plantarflexion
hindfoot inversion and eversion happens at what joint
subtalar (5 and 5 degrees)
pronation and supination happens at waht joint
midtarsal and metatarsal joints
is normal position, calcaneus should be
vertical or slight valgus
hindfoot varus leads to
foot supination
hingfoot valgus leads to
foot pronation
in lateral ankle sprains, overplantarflexion and inversion leads to sprain of the
ATFL
in lateral ankle sprains, overdorsiflexion and inversion leads to sprain of the
CFL
in lateral ankle sprains, full dorsiflexion and inversion leads to sprain of the
PTFL
pt presentation of Lateral ankle sprain

may progress to chronic ankle instability

objective measures for lateral ankle sprain
clear the spine!
ankle AROM/PROM- check the other motions before doing the motion of injury
palpation
ankle girth
MMT
hop tests- not in acute phase
medial ankle sprain causes
forceful eversion of foot throughout a range of DF
what ligament in injured in a medial ankle sprain
deltoid ligament
also maybe posterior tibiotalar
patient presentation of medial ankle sprain
swelling, pain, bruising
posterior tibialis tendinopathy causes
faulty foot biomechanics or overuse injury
age- lower arches, more stretch
pt presentation fo posterior tibialis tendinopathy
tenderness on course of tendon
pain with contraction
pain with stretch- severe cases
CPG of posterior tibialis tendinopathy: 4 clinical tests
pain with palpation
swelling around tendon
pain/weakness with contraction

ankle AROM/PROM
feiss line
palpation
girth
MMT
YBT
when performing MMT/AROM/PROM for a patient with an injury, what motion/measurement should be performed last?
the one that is most painful based off of Dx!
ex: post tib does plantarflexion and Inv, so for posterior tibial tendinopathy do PF + INV last
achilles’ tendinopathy causes
faulty foot biomechanics
overuse injury- wringing to the “watershed” area low blood
insertional achilles’ tendinopathy
pain/issue at the heel bone
mid tendon achilles’ tendinopathy
issue at the watershed area, mid tendon
achilles’ tendinopathy pt presentation
pain along tendon
pain with palpation- variable
pain with contraction
pain with muscle stretch- severe cases
achilles’ tendinopathy subjective questions
change in training, footwear, or incile?
age- changes in arch height

what runs through the tarsal tunnel medial to lateral?
tibialis posterior
flexor digitorum longus
tibial artery
tibial vein
tibial nerve

what causes plantar fascitis
forceful plantarflexion of foot with great toe extension
repeated microtrauma- overpronation or heel spur
pt presentation plantar fascitis
pain at medial arch, distal to calcaneus

differential Diagnosis for plantar fascitis
can be irritation of medial or lateral plantar n

overtrainers
great toe needs __ degrees of extension for normal walking. what happens if they dont have that?
70 degrees
will overpronate, creating adduction
an angle between MT and proximal phalanxe greater than __ degrees is abnormal
