Q

mechanopathlogy of mortons neuroma

A

occurs as a result of compression of interdigital nerve against the distal end of the superficial transverse metatarsal lig during dorsiflex

Q

causes of mortons neuroma biomechanically

A
  • overpronation results in loss of transverse arch which produces mechanical irritation to digital branches
  • mc in women believed to be caused by high heal shoes

Q

histopathological causes to mortons neuroma

A
  • deg changes (mucoid degenerative) are notes
  • mucoid deposition in confined space results in increased pressure
  • leading to ischemic compression/demylenation.axonal damage

Q

conservative tx to general metatarsalgia

A
  • rest from aggravating activity
  • stretch post compartment mm
  • control over pro
  • Stay away from positive heal
  • orthotics (metatarsal pad)

Q

what does low arched foot cause in windlass effect

A

tension in plantar fascia has to be higher to get equal rot

13
Q

plantar fasciitis pathology

A
  • deteriorated collageen fibres, increased secretion of ground substance pros, fibroblast proliferation and neovascularization
  • believed if you can prevent the neovascularization you will stop the infiltration of nerves that accompany the blood vessels and hence stop pain

15
Q

what actually is achilles tendinosis

A

no inflammation

-biopsy revealed disorganized and degenerate collagen fibres

16
Q

mechanism of achilles tendinitis injury theories (4)

A
  1. soleus portion which wraps around gastro portion strangles the tendon and injuries it
  2. Poor blood supply prevents healing (then neovascularization occurs)
  3. Whipping action causes by overpronation/oversupination
  4. rapid eccentric action followed by rapid contraction action (toe off)
17
Q

clinical causes of achileies tendinosis

A
  • racing in heel less spikes/ low heeled shoes
  • worn out runners
  • excessive pronation
  • take off supination
18
Q

conservative approach to achileases tendinosis

A
  • stop running (for at least 7-21 days)
  • do other execises
  • stretch
  • strengthen
19
Q

how should strengthen + stretch in achilles tendonopathy be done

A
  • stretch should be done for 10-20mins per day
  • very painful to begin with
  • eccentric heel lowering to strengthen (concentrate on the eccentric portion, not on the heel raise)
20
Q

grade 1 achilles tendonpathy

A
  • rest one week before resuming normal schedule
  • stretch calf 20 min/day
  • add 7-15mm heel raise
  • cross friction to tendon
21
Q

grade 2 achilles rehab (running pain not affecting performance)

A
  • approach as per grade 1
  • reduce speed work, hill running, long runs and weekly distance
  • orthotics
  • cross-frriction
22
Q

grade 3 achilles tendonopathy rehab (running pain affecting performance)

A
  • approach as grade 1/2
  • rest for 3 w
  • after 3 w (resume jogging, cycle, or swim)
  • resume serious running after injury reverts to grade 1
23
Q

running shoe tx for achilles tendonopathy (4)

A

7-15mm heel raise on outside or inside

  • ridgid heel counter
  • vertical achilles pad
  • rigid midsole material
24
Q

primary postulated effect of foot orthoses on achilles tendinopathy

A

effect of foot orthoses on achilles tendinopathy relates to kinematic change and not distribution of plantar pressures, so we doubt this would have an sig effect

25
Q

definition of medial tibial stress syndrome

A

pain along posteromedial border of tibia that occurs during exercise, excluding pain from ischemic origin or signs of stress fracture

26
Q

role of tibia post (2)

A
  1. decelerate subtler jt pronation during stance phase (eccentric action)
  2. To return the subtler jt to neural after pronation (concentric action)
27
Q

traction theory of medial tibial stress syndrome

A

tib post actively tractions the periosteum which leads to inflammation and eventual bone

28
Q

tibial bowing theory of MTSS

A

ability of calf mm to cause repeated bending or bowing of the tibia, thereby causing a stress rxn and periosteal rxn

(military recruits w MTSS has a lower cross sectional cortical area compared w similar subjects)

29
Q

risk factors of MTSS

A
  • pronation
  • navicular drop >6.8mm
  • more rear/forfoot varus
  • running < 8.5 y
