A

Lies under the gastro and crosses ankle
Plantarflexion of the foot
Stretch: seated heel raise or bent knee forward lunge

34
Q

A

Pulls navicular toward body causing inversion

Assists in plantarflexion

A

Inflammation of the plantar fascia
M: root arch problem of obesity or sudden weight gain
Signs/ symptoms: pain the heel; also toward toes

36
Q

Heel spur

44
Q

Plantars neuroma

Mortons neuroma

A

Intra-digital pain because of pinching of an inter-digital nerve.
third and fourth metatarsal’s
Pain resolves when walking barefoot

45
Q

Lateral sprain: signs and symptoms

A

Swelling, edema, Ecchymosis

46
Q

Lateral sprain: special tests

A

Great on a scale of 1 to 3 mild moderate or severe
Talor tilt: Primarily accesses CF ligament looking for pain and laxity
Anterior drawer test: primarily assesses ATF ligament or plantarflexion optimum to yield greatest translation

47
Q

Epimyseum

A

Membrane that surrounds each muscle

48
Q

Lower leg: reasons for pain: Cramp

A

Dehydration and imbalance of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and calcium ions)

49
Q

Medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints)

A

Any inflammation of a muscle, tendon, or bone in the lower leg.
Posterior tibialis: inverts the foot and starts to pull away from the bone->stress fractures

50
Q

Anterior compartment syndrome: CCS

A
  • Arises when a muscle becomes too big for the sheath that surrounds it
  • normal is 15mHg//anything greater is abnormal
51
Q

Anterior compartment syndrome: signs and symptoms

A

Pain/crampy ache in the lower leg during exercise//sense of numbness or tingling//more tender than shin splints
Ischemia may occur if goes untreated
