Ankle Flashcards
mob direction to improve DF
mobilize talus posteriorly
mob direction to improve DF
mobilize talus anteriorly
mob direction to improve DF/ pronation of the transverse tarsals
dorsal glide

plantar glide
In OKC, what foot positions make up pronation
Talocrual joint: DF
Subtalar joint: Eversion, Abduction, DF
Transverse tarsal joint
Forefoot: DF, Abduction
In CKC, what foot positions make up supination
Talocrual joint: PF
Subtalar joint: Inversion, Adduction
Transverse tarsal joint: Inc, Add, PF
Forefoot:: PF
Forefoot valgus is what type of deformity
Pes Cavus
Supinated foot structure
increased knee varus
Forefoot varus is what type of deformity
Pes Planus
pronated foot structure
increased knee valgus
FPI scoring
Positive = pronated
score 0-5+ is normal
What does the deep fibular N innervate (Sensory and motor)
Anterior compartment: tibialis anterior , extensor digitorum, EHL
web space of toes 1-2
What does the Superficail fibular N innervate (Sensory and motor)
Lateral compartment fibularis longus and brevis
Lower half of lateral leg and foot dorsum (except for first Webb space)
what provides sensation to the upper 2/3 of the lateral leg
Lateral sural cutaneous N
A level recommendations for heel pain/ Plantar fasciitis
Manual therapy for pain and function can use mobs and STM, Self stretching via intermittent holds, and taping for short term relief, Orthosis especially if taping helps- can be short-term relief up to 1 year to support medial and long arch. Night splints especially for pain with first steps, but have to be work for 1-3 months
high ankle sprain region and specific tests
Syndesmosis, ER test known as Klieger test is specific. When + we can rule it in. Squeeze test is anotehr test.
Brace recomendations following lateral ankle sprian
Recd’s for: Prevention especailyl for those with high risks, prevention of recurrent sprains after intial event with the use of thera-ex and balance, and for acute and post acute care in order to progressivly WB ASAP
For severe injureis immoblize foot for up to 10 days
A level recs for acute and post acute interventions following ankle sprain
MT: lymph drainage, joint mobs, WITH thera-ex
Thera-ex: protective AROM, restore balance and nero-re-ed. To be done at clinic AND home
C level recs for acute and post acute interventions following ankle sprain
intermittent ice, NSAIDS for pain and swellign
A level recs for CAI
Thera-act and ex: proprioceptive neuromuscular dynamic postural stability for increased function Manual Therapy: including mobilization and manipulation port increase dorsiflexion and dynamic balance\
Acute lateral ankle sprain risk factors
Previous injury, female sex, weakness of hip abductors/extensors, poor balance performance, poor hopping test performance, court sport participation
chronic lateral ankle sprain risk factors
not using prophylactic brace, not participating in exercise program, high BMI, poor functional performance, sport participation
MCID for FAAM-sport and ADL. LEFS MCID
FAAM-ADL 8%
FAAM-SPORT / LEFS 9% (poitns for LEFS)
what should you rule out or be sus of with a medial ankle sprain?
Maisionneuve Fx: proxmal fibular fx and distal TC instability simillar to syndemsmotic injury
If there’s pain at the fibular, refer out for imaging
LAteral ankle sprain tests
reverse anteriro droawer with a posterios force on teh tib while the heel is fixed on the table
cuboid syndrome, what injury may also present with this?
lateral midfoot pain due a a postionsl faulty. Subux may happen due to forcefull pull of fibularis longus. May over 2ndary to lateral ankle sprain. Rul eup with Fibularis pain, weakness and increased mobility in region
Lisfranc injury, where is the lisfranc ligament, how to test for this
Fx location between tarsals and metatarals
ligament over the medial cuneiform and 2nd MT
Most common injured is 2nd and 1st MT. MOI is supination and axial loading. Tests: Gao sign, increased space btwn 1/2nd toes. Fleck sign for avulsion of ligament. CHECK PULSES, sensation of 1st webspace due to deep fibular N,.
Thompson test
good specificty
Distinguish fibularis tear form and subluxing
Increased strain from PF and EV therefore painful with MMT. Need imaging to see if torn. Tears are from acute MOI such as LAI. Chronic injuries and from CAI adn tendon subluxign and may affect retinacul and lead to clicking.
Achilles tendon apathy
increased thickening of tissue, (+) Arc sign, Royal London hospital test (decrease pain dorsiflexion). Treted with load and pain monitoring, Ionto, stretching
Posterior tibialis dysfunction also known as PCFD
Obese, middle aged woman, posterior tib tenderness, too many toes sign
Sever’s disease
Active or overweight children 8- 15 years old. Will present with limited dorsiflexion pain with palpation distal to Achilles insertion and pain with passive dorsiflexion. Tests: calcaneus quiz test, pain with one he’ll stand. Treated with stretching orthoses heel cup wedge plantar flexion strengthening. Concern of growth plate issue also known as calcaneal apophysitis
calcaneal stress fracture
Similar to Seivers disease but does not improve. Bone stress injury does not = a stress fracture line, changes must be seen on imaging. Recommendation to have bone scan for diagnosis.
Retrocalcaneal bursitis
No tendon thickening seen. Will present like insertional Achilles tendinopathy with palpable painful bursitis
