50
Q

Sagittal Plane Motion of the Foot

A

DF and PF

51
Q

Sagittal Plane Motion of the Foot axis

A

Axis lies in frontal & transverse plane

52
Q

Dorsiflexio ROM

A

15° - 20°

53
Q

Plantarflexion ROM

A

30° - 50°

54
Q

Joint for Sagittal Plane Motion of the Foot axis

A

Talocrural joint provides most of this motion

Some motion also available at the Oblique axis of midtarsal joint

55
Q

Talocrural Joint Axis connect what

A

Connects tips of medial & lateral malleoli
This is at a slight angle, not very significant

56
Q

Talocrural Joint Axis movement

A

Allows mostly dorsiflexion/plantarflexion with slight abd/ev & add/inv

57
Q

Talocrural Joint Axis and frontal plane

A

Tipped anterior and posterior to true frontal plane by approximately 6°

58
Q

Frontal Plane Motion of the Foot

A

inversion and eversion

59
Q

Frontal Plane axis

A

Axis lies in sagittal & transverse planes

60
Q

Frontal Plane Motion joint that provides motion

A

Subtalar joint provides most of this motion (main)
Inversion ~ 25°- 30°
Eversion ~ 5° - 15°

Midtarsal joint (longitudinal axis) will also provide this motion, 2ndary

61
Q

Subtalar Joint Axis - angle of inclination

A

~ 45° from frontal and transverse (angle of inclination)

62
Q

Subtalar Joint Axis - deviation angle

A

Improves shock absorption
Foot becomes more adaptable to changing terrain
More stable base of support
