31
Q

The Windlass mechanism is a mechanism in which

A

Plantar fascia acts as a cable. Dorsiflexion of the hallux tightens the cable, shortens the distance between calcaneus and metatarsals, and elevates the medial longitudinal arch

32
Q

Dorsiflexion of the hallux during propulsive phase results in

A

Winding of the fascia around the head of the metatarsal

33
Q

The essence of the Windlass mechanism principle is

A

Shortening of the plantar fascia as a result of hallux dorsiflexion

34
Q

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

A

Inflammation of the central band at its attachment to the medial process of calcaneal tuberosity

35
Q

Layer 1 of muscles of the plantar foot include

37
Q

Layer 3 of muscles of the plantar foot include

A

Adductor hallucis (Transverse and oblique heads)
Flexor hallucis brevis
Flexor digitorum brevis

38
Q

Layer 4 of muscles of the plantar foot include

A 
Plantar interossei (3 of them)
