ankle Flashcards
1
Q
identify bones of the ankle
A
- fibula
- tibia
- talus
- calcaneus
2
Q
identify bones of the foot
A
- tarsals
- metatarsals
- phalanges
3
Q
identify movement at the ankle
A
- sagittal plane: plantar and dorsi flexion
- frontal plane: eversion and inversion
- transverse plane: ab and adduction (hard to do without ever and inversion)
4
Q
describe ankle joint function
A
-produce propulsive force
- shock absorber
5
Q
identify pronation at the ankle; open and closed chain movements
A
Open: Everts, stable, abducts and dorsiflexes
Closed: Everts, stable, adducts, and plantar flexes
6
Q
identify supination at the ankle; open and closed chain movements
A
Open: inverts, stable, adducts, plantar flexes
Closed: Inverts, stable, abducts, dorsiflexes,
7
Q
identify the 3 articulations at the ankle
A
- tibiotalar
- talocrural
- subtalar
8
Q
identify the 3 articulation at the foot
A
- midtarsal
- metatarsophalangeal
- transverse tarsal joint
9
Q
identify the 7 ligaments at the ankle
A
- anterior talofibular
- posterior talofibular
- calcaneofibular
- tibiocalcaneal
- tibionavicular
- tibiotalar
- fibular collateral ligaments
10
Q
identify the 5 anterior muscles that cross the ankle
A
- tibialis anterior
- extensor hallucis longus
- extensor digitorum longus
- peroneus longus
- peroneus brevis
11
Q
identify the 5 posterior muscles that cross the ankle
A
- soleus
- gastrocnemius
- tibialis posterior
- flexor digitorum longus
- flexor hallucis longus
12
Q
compare and contrast other structures at the ankle
A
- superior and inferior extensor retinaculum
- flexor retinacullum: helps OPFs
- medial and lateral malleoli: keeps lines of action as plantar flexors
- fascia: supports bottom of the foot
