ANKLE Flashcards
What is tissue impairment dx for
for when there is an acute issue and tissue is so inflammed that you cannot do your tests
Pronation syndrome goes with what 5 dx
plantar fasciitis neuroma/MT shin splints post tib issues tarsal tunnel syndrome
with pronation syndrome, there is often generalized px where
midfoot
what motion of the calcaneus goes with pronation syndrome
eversion
Plantar fasciitis and metatarsalgia go with what 2 mvmt dx
pronation and supination
What are the dx associated with supination
MT/neuroma
plantar fasciitis
stress fx
peroneal pathologies
what pos test will you notice for supination (about the 1st ray)
will be PF
where might you see callous formation with supination
1st and 5th MT
which typically has a wider foot, pronation or supination
pro
supinaition occurs during what gait phases
heel strike to midstance
pathlogies associated with decreased dorsiflexion syndrome
shin splints
achillies tendon pathologies
bursitis
what 2 things are common to see with decreased dorsiflexion syndrome
toe out
knee hyper ext
decreased DF syndrome occurs during what gait phases
midstance to push off
and during swing
hypomobility syndrome of ankle is decreased mobility in all motions, this dx is associated with what pathologies
anything that caused LT immobilization DJD OA ORIF Fx
With an inversion ankle sprain, where is the damage/px usually at
lateral ankle
What nerve can be injured with a severe lateral ankle sprain
superficial peroneal
where does tibial nerve run
with tom dick and harry on medial side
talar tilt tests for what
lateral ankle sprain (CF lig)
Kleigers tests for
deltoid ankle sprain (medial)
what outcome measure is good for all ankle
LEFS
what is cuboid syndrome
subluxation of the cuboid bone
how does cuboid syndrome usually occur
MOI is usually PF with inversion injury
cuboid syndrome is often confused and mis-dx as
lateral ankle sprain
what are differentiating factors with cuboid syndrome vs lateral ankle sprian
px is constant
they may feel like something is in their shoe
px lasts longer than lat ankle sprain
a big component of dx cuboid syndrome
palpation
explosive push off could cause what injury
achiilies tendon tear
who is most likely to tear achilies tendon
30-40 yr old men
what test is for achilles tendon
thompsons test (high sp)
explain some char of an achilies tendon pathology
may have a balled up palpable spot on calf
inability to do single leg raise
where is px often felt with a post tib tendonopathy
at the medial malleolus
tibial stress syndrome is aka
shin splints
sup or pronation can lead to tibial stress syndrome
pronation
if achilies tendon is tight, how can this effect the tibialis ant
the tibialis ant will overwork to compensate (during eccentric motions) this can cause tearing away of the interossius membranes
how to dx tibial stress fx
tuning fork and refer
how to possibly differentiate btwn tibial stress syndrome and stress fx
stress fx the px doesnt go away with rest and it lasts longer
characteristics of post tibial N pathologies
WB increases sx
sx are worse at end of the day
pos tinnel sign at medial malleolus
px, burning at sole of foot
plantar faciitis characteristics
px at heel
worse in AM
limited DF dt px
how much DF is needed for gait
10 degrees
px with bursitis is often where
tender to touch at calcaneous
cause of bursitits
rubbing at the heel (shoes or repetive motions)
what is the ROM loss dt bursits
there really is non, its just dt the px from rubbing
syndesmotic ankle sprain typically has what MOI
rotational force- more forceful (forced eversion with dorsi)
syndesmotic ankle sprain is located more
the px is more diffuse and superior to the ankle joint
mid foot consists of
Navicular
Cuboid
3 Cuneiforms
rear foot consists of
the true ankle (tib, fib, calcaneous, talus)
forefoot consists of
all toe bones
according to the article, what are predisposing factors to plantar faciitis
Clinicians should consider limited ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and a high body mass index in nonathletic populations as predisposing factors for the development of heel pain/plantar fasciitis
according to the article, what are good tests/observations for plantar faciitis
palpate proximal plantar fascia check DF tarsal tunnel windless affect long arch
interventions for plantar faciitis
ionto with dexa stretches taping ortho devices sleep splints
what happens with the plantar fascia with prontation
with pronation it’s elongated
what happens with plantar fascia with supination
shortens
why may joint mobs not be effective for tx of plantar fasciitis
bc both pronation and supination can be a cause of, so just declaring one way of mobing would not take care of both issues (it would depend)
how to find cuboid
it should be btwn the 5th MT tuberosity and the calcaneous
function of forefoot
adapt to terrain
what makes up talocrural joint
tib
fib
talus
what makes up subtalar joint
calcaneous
talus
bending the knee joint and plantar flexing isolates the
soleus
keeping knee straight and plantar flexing isolates the
gastroc
in addition to tib post and ant, what muscles also invert pes
FHL
FDL
