61
Q

dorsi and plantar happen at what joint

A

talocrural

62
Q

stability in WB is provided by ___, while in NWB it is (for talocrural joint)

A

WB - bone articulations

NWB - ligg

63
Q

pronation and supination occur at the __ joint

A

subtalar

64
Q

subtalar joint motions (asking about OKC, CKC)

A

OKC follows the rules - plantar flexion, inversion, adduction and then dorsi goes with eversion and abd.

CKC is different bc of the rotation of the tibia jacks everything up with standing - if the tibia ER then the talus dorsi and abd while the calcaneous inverts, if the tibia IR then the talus plantar flexes adducts and the calcaneous everts.

This concept is why some pt will only have px WB
