17
Q

What nerve runs through the tarsal tunnel?

A

Posterior tibial nerve

18
Q

Which nerve on the anterior aspect of the foot is often compressed at the extensor retinaculum?

A

Deep peroneal nerve

19
Q

Components of the arches of the foot

A
  • keystone
  • posterior pillar
  • anterior pillar
  • tie rod
20
Q

Where is the keystone in the arch of the foot?

A

At the peak of the arch

21
Q

Medial longitudinal arch:

What is the keystone?

A

Talar head

22
Q

Medial longitudinal arch:

What is the posterior pillar?

A

Calcaneus

23
Q

Medial longitudinal arch:

What is the anterior pillar?

A
  • sesamoids

- heads of metatarsals 1-3

24
Q

Medial longitudinal arch:

What is the tie rod?

A

Plantar fascia

25
Q

Why do clinicians commonly treat medial arch pain pathology passively?

A

High degree of passive stability

26
Q

Recent evidence suggest that active structures play a large role in medial arch support and clinicians are encouraged to focus on what treatment modalities?

A

Both intrinsic and extrinsic muscle strengthening

27
Q

Medial arch: extrinsic strengthening

Which muscles?

A

Posterior tibialis

Triceps surae

28

Q

Transverse arch:

What is the keystone?

A

33
Q

Transverse arch:

What is the lateral pillar?

A

Cuboid

34
Q

Transverse arch:

What is the medial pillar?

A

Medial cuneiform

35
Q

Transverse arch:

What is the tie rod?

A

Peroneus longus tendon

36
Q
