ankle 2 - injury Flashcards
what does pes clavus mean
high arch
the rearfoot is stuck in inversion and cannot get eversion to pronate
is pes clavus more supinated or pronated
supinated
the foot is rigid - poor shock absorbing foot
what is pes planus
flattened arch
what range of motion deficits do we expect for a patient with pes planus
limited DF
is pes planus more rigid or flexiable
flexiable - weak supinator muscles
or
rigid - bony structure abdnormality
what muscle creates the supination motion
tib post
what is the result of abnormal pronation
pronation that is in excessive in range
or when the foot should be supinated
what causes abnormal pronation
all 3 -planes are involved
frontal, transverse, sagittal plane
what is occuring the frontal plane to cause excessive pronation of the foot
tibial varus
subtalar varus
forefoot varus
what is occuring the transverse plane to cause excessive pronation of the foot
hip anteversion
internal femoral rotation
internal fibilar rotation
what is occuring the sagittal plane to cause excessive pronation of the foot
leg length
equinas
limited knee and or hip extension
what are the effects of abnormal pronation
callus/pain under the 2-4 met heads and plantar medial 1st MTP joint
hallux rigidus (stiff big toe)
mortons neuroma
plantar fascitis
metarsal stress fracture
what is mortons neuroma
the thinkening of tissue around one of the nerves leaving to your toe
what is result of abnormal supination
supination that is excessive motion in range or occurs when the foot should be pronating
with supination what do we see in the forefoot
valgus
first ray and supinated foot
plantar felxed
what other factors can cause supination in the foot
equinas = where the heel cannot reach the ground
leg length - the shorter side
what are some foot injuries that you see with abnormal supination
callus/pain under the 1st - 5th MT heads
seasomoiditis and/or stress fracture 5th met head
hammer toe
haglund’s deformity
chronic lateral ankle strain
what is a hammer toe
the toe is bent at the middle joint
what is haglund’s deformity
boney enlargement on the back of the heel
this can irritate soft tissue around the achilles tendon
what is the most common ankle sprain
inversion sprain
grade 1 ankle sprain
mild over stretching
no tearing
no functional instability
short recovery time
grade 2 ankle sprain
partial tear of the ligament
increased functional loss
swelling, effusion, and tenderness
recovery 10 - 30 days
grade 3 ankle sprain
complete rupture
restricst
what is the most common type of ankle sprain
inversion
what mechanisms are involved with inversion
talocural PF
subtalr inversion
what are inversion sprain
tenderness to palpation
what is equinas
when the ankle lacks DF flexibility
tightness in the calf muscles
in some patients this tightness is congenital
can be in one or both ankles
what are the upper chain issues seen with abnormal pronation
achilles tendinitis
anterior or medial knee pain
what are the upper chain issues seen with abnormal supination
achilles tendinitis
lateral knee or hip pain
what is a rigid plantar flexed 1st ray associated with
excessive supination
limited ST joint motion
what can rigid plantar flexed 1st ray lead to
lateral instability of the ankle
callus under the first and 5th met
what can we do for a rigid plantar flexed 1st ray
accomadated orthotic cut out for the 1st ray
what is the first ray
1st met and the medial cuneiform
what is the mechanism of an inversion ankle sprain
talocural PF
subtalar inv
which ligament is involved with a inversion ankle sprain
anterior talofibular ligament
talo-fibular ligament
what ligament is sometimes involved in severe inversion ankle sprain issues
post talo-fib
what are intrinsic risk factors to an inversion ankle sprain
limited DF ROM
decreased balance
decreased ankle proprioception
what are extrinsics risk factors to an inversion ankle sprain
sport type
what are some associated injuries with inversion strains
peroneal tendon injury
peroneal nerve issue
fracture of the dital tib fib, lateral malleolus, medial mallelus , base of the fifth met
sinus tarsi syndrome
what are the signs and sym of a inversion sprain
tenderness to palpation of the lateral collateral ligaments
swelling and discoloration of the lateral ankle region
painful limitation of the PF./inv
possible - pain and weakness to resisted ev
anatalgic gait
what tests will be positive for an inversion sprain
anterior drawer
medial talar tilt test
why do we see an antalgic gait with an inversion sprain
pain and decreased weight bearing
what are the ottowa ankle rule
pain in the malleolar or mid foot
either
cannot walk immediately after the incident or four steps in the ED
or
infer tibfib, inf medial and lateral malleolus
bone tenderness in the navicular or the base of the 5th met
would you perform manuel therapy for those with inversion sprain
yes
increase ROM and decrease pain
what should be the progression of exercises for those with inversion ankle sprains
isometrics
thera band
PRE - progressive resistance exercises
weight bearing exercises
(most of the emphasis is place of the ankle everters)
