Ankle and foot structure 2

Question 1

The midtarsal joint is made up of which two joints

Answer 1

The talonavicular and the calcaneocuboid

Question 2

Articulating bones of the talonavicular joint

Answer 2

The round head of the talus
The concavity on the proximal/posterior navicular

Question 3

Talonavicular joint subdivision

Answer 3

Triaxial ball and socket

Question 4

Articulating bones of the calcaneocuboid joint

Answer 4

Anterior facet of the calcaneus
Posterior aspect of the cuboid

Question 5

Diarthrodial joint subdivision of the calcaneocuboid

Answer 5

Biaxial modified saddle
Contains its own joint capsule

Question 6

Tarsometatarsal joint complex (Lis Franc’s joint) articulating bones

Answer 6

Distal aspects of the 3 cuneiforms and the cuboid
Bases of the metatarsals

Question 7

Diarthrodial subdivision of Tarsometatarsal joint

Answer 7

Nonaxial gliding type synovial

Question 8

Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint articulating bones

Answer 8

Heads of the 1st-5th metatarsals
Base of the 1st-5th proximal phalanges

Question 9

Which MTP joint promotes the greatest range of motion?

Answer 9

The 1st MTP (Hallux)

Question 10

Diarthrodial joint subdivision of the MTP joint

Answer 10

Biaxial condyloid type

Question 11

What is turf toe

Answer 11

Hyperextension of the 1st MTP

Question 12

Diarthrodial joint subdivision of the interphalangeal joint (IP) joint

Answer 12

Uniaxial hinge

Question 13

Bones in the medial longitudinal arch

Answer 13

calcaneus, talus, navicular, the three cuneiforms, and the 1st
three metatarsals

Question 14

Ligaments in the medial longitudinal arch

Answer 14

Calcaneonavicular and long plantar ligament

Question 15

Function of the medial longitudinal arch

Answer 15

Functions as a shock absorber when the foot initially contacts the ground and adapting the foot to uneven terrain in early and mid stance. Functions to assist the transition of the foot into a more rigid structure as the foot prepares for toe-off.

Question 16

What is plantar fascilitis

Answer 16

One of the injuries believed to be associated with both an excessively
high and low arch is plantar heel pain (plantar fasciitis)
Plays an important role in shock absorption and transitioning the foot
from a mobile structure to a rigid structure during gait

Question 17

Bones in the lateral longitudinal arch

Answer 17

Formed by the calcaneus, cuboid, and the 4th and 5th metatarsals

Question 18

Function of the lateral longitudinal and transverse arches

Answer 18

Shock absorption and adapting of the foot to uneven terrain in early and mid
stance; Assists the transition of the foot into a more rigid structure as the foot
prepares for toe-of

Question 19

There are 2 transverse arches:

Answer 19

Proximal and distal

Question 20

Bones in the proximal and distal transverse arches

Answer 20

Proximal (transverse arch)
* Formed by the bases of the 1st – 5th metatarsals, the three cuneiforms, and the
cuboid
* Distal (metatarsal arch)
* Formed by the heads of the 1st – 5th metatarsals

Question 21

What 3 movements make up pronation

Answer 21

Dorsiflexion
Abduction
Eversion

Question 22

What 3 movements make up supination

Answer 22

Plantar flexion
Adduction
Inversion
