Q

What does the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (aka spring ligament) do?

A

helps maintain the medial longitudinal arch by supporting the head of the talus. If this ligament is stretched, the head of the talus can sink resulting in a flat foot (pes planus)

Q

What two jobs does the long plantar ligament have?

A

Helps maintain arches of the foot.

Helps to form a tunnel for the tendon of peroneus longus

32
Q

What motions are available at the transverse tarsal joint?

A

inversion
eversion
* also helps increase the inversion/eversion range by allowing abduction and adduction of the forefoot

33
Q

What types of joints are the intertarsal, tarsometatarsal & intermetatarsal joints? Which one has the least movement?

A

Synovial, plane.

Little movement is available at the 2nd tarsometatarsal joint

34
Q

Why is little movement available within the intertarsal, tarsometatarsal & intermetatarsal joints?

A

limited due to the tight binding by the ligaments

the bases of the 2nd through 5th metatarsals are firmly bound by ligaments

35
Q

What types of joints are the metatarsophalangeal joints?

A

Synovial, condyloid

36
Q

What motions are available at the metatarsophalangeal joints?

A

flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction

37
Q

The metatarsophalangeal joints are supported by ___________

A

Collateral ligaments

38
Q

The plantar surface of the metatarsophalangeal joint capsules are thickened to form ______________

A

Plantar plates

39
Q

the head of one phalanx articulates with the base of the phalanx distal to it in this type of joint

A

The interphalangeal joints (PIPs and DIPs)

40
Q

Available movements at the interphalangeal joints.

A

flexion, extension

41
Q

The bones of the foot form arches which act as ____________

A

shock absorbers

42
Q

Which four things maintain the arches in our feet:

A

Bones
Ligaments
Fascia (25% of the static, weight-bearing foot)
Muscles (don’t actually do much

43
Q

T/F the medial longitudinal arch doesn’t normally come in contact with the ground.

44
Q

T/F the medial longitudinal arch is more involved in weight bearing than propulsion

A

False, other way around

45
Q

T/F the lateral longitudinal arch is more involved in weight bearing than propulsion

46
Q

the thick, central fascia (connective tissue) on the sole of the foot

A

Plantar fascia

47
Q

T/F plantar fascia is actually continuous with the fascia of the calf

48
Q

As plantar fascia tightens, it pulls the calcaneus anteriorly and elevates the arches putting the foot into a position of supination. This is called the ___________

A

Windlass mechanism

49
Q

What are the origin and insertion of the popliteus?

A

superior/proximal attachment: lateral condyle of the femur

inferior/distal attachment: posterior proximal surface of the tibia, superior to the soleal line

50
Q

What two actions are available at the popliteus?

A

flexion of the knee (very weak)

medial rotation of the knee (key)

51
Q

When the knee is fully extended, the tibia rotates laterally (due to the medial condyle being longer) which locks the knee into a more stable position – this is the ____________

A

Screw home mechanism

52
Q

What prevents of the EDL, EHL, and Tib Ant tendons from bowing as the muscles contract

A

the superior extensor and inferior extensor retinacula

The second layer of muscles on the plantar foot also contains the tendons for:

A

Which foot muscle does flexion of the MTP joints and extension the PIPs/DIPs?

A

Lumbricals (Latin: lumbricus: earthworm)

70
