96
Q

Where does the tarsal canal run

A

97
Q

A

Medial side and it limits eversion

98
Q

99
Q

100
Q

What side of the talus is the posterior calcaneal ligament and what motion does it limit

A

Posterolateral and it limits inversion and dorsiflexion

101
Q

During OKC what occurs at the subtalar joint during supination

A

Calcaneal inversion, adduction, and plantarflexion

102
Q

During OKC what occurs at the subtalar joint during pronation

A

Calcaneal eversion, abduction, and dorsiflexion

103
Q

Inversion can also be called what

104
Q

Eversion can also be called what

105
Q

Body weight (BW) prevents the calcaneus from doing what 2 motions

A

ABD/ADD or PF/DF

106
Q

During CKC what occurs at the subtalar joint during supination

A

Calcaneal inversion, talar abduction, and dorsiflexion

107
Q

During CKC what occurs at the subtalar joint during pronation

A

Calcaneal eversion, talar adduction, and plantarflexion

108
Q

What is the closed pack position of the subtalar joint

A

Supination

109
Q

How much inversion and eversion are available at the subtalar joint

A

Inversion: 20
Eversion: 10

110
Q

Where does the extra 3 degrees of ADD come from for the remainder of gait

A

Another joint higher up

111
Q

During CKC what are the arthrokinematics of the talus on the calcaneus (all 3 surfaces)

A

Anterior and middle: Convex talus on concave calcaneus

Posterior: Concave talus on convex calcaneus

112
Q

True or False:
You aren’t able to stabilize the posterior facet and move the anterior and middle facets of the talus because the motions occur simultaneously

113
Q

What type of motion is the talus on calcaneus

A

A complex screw like motion

114
Q

True or False:
The axises cross during supination of the foot at the subtalar joint providing the greatest stability (closed pack position)

115
Q

What is the AOR angles of inclination for the subtalar joint

A

42 degrees from ground and 16 degrees from midline

116
Q

What motions at the subtalar joint are about equal because of the angle of inclination of the AOR

A

IN/EV and ABD/ADD

117
Q

What is the ratio of ROM at the subtalar joint of the 3 planes of motion

A

4:4:1

1 being DF/PF

118
Q

What is subtalar neutral

A

The position where the joint is in its optimal developmental position

119
Q

What is normal inversion and eversion of the subtalar joint

A

Inversion: 20
Eversion: 10

120
Q

What is the proportion of inversion to eversion at the subtalar joint

A

Inversion: 2/3
Eversion: 1/3

121
Q

How do you determine a person’s subtalar neutral

A

Add together the inversion and eversion then divide by 3 and subtract that number from the eversion

122
Q

If the number you get is positive what does that mean

A

The patient’s subtalar neutral is that many degrees of valgus

123
Q

If the number you get is negative what does that mean

A

The patient’s subtalar neutral is that many degrees of varus

124
Q

What does a negative number mean for subtalar neutral in terms of midline

A

It means that you have crossed midline into varus

125
Q

What is the subtalar neutral position

A

The point from which the calcaneus can invert twice as much as it can evert

126
Q

Will severe restriction of talar abduction PROM lead to reduction in supination or pronation ROM in an open or closed kinematic chain or both

A

Supination in CKC because the talus is moving on the calcaneus in CKC and when doing CKC supination the talus moves into dorsiflexion and abduction which wouldnt be able to occur

127
Q

What motion occurs at the LE when you attempt to forcibly pronate both feet with the knees extended

A

Medial rotation of the LE occurs via mortis congruity

128
Q

The subtalar joint is like what type of hinge

A

A mitered hinge

129
Q

What does the subtalar joint being like a mitered hinge do during medial rotation of the leg
