A

pes planus

32
Q

What is a pes planus foot? What movement does it cause difficulty with?

A

flat foot

difficulty w/supination

33
Q

What movement do the deltoid ligaments of the ankle limit?

34
Q

What movement do the lateral ligaments of the ankle limit?

35
Q

What are the lateral ligaments of the ankle?

A

anterior talofibular
posterior talofibular
calcaneofibular

36
Q

Which ligaments are usually involved with a low ankle sprain?

A

deltoid, anterior talofibular, calcaneofibular

37
Q

What ligaments are usually involved with a high ankle sprain?

A

anterior & posterior talofibular

38
Q

What are the key ligaments of the foot?

A

long plantar & spring ligament

39
Q

Long plantar ligament - where does it run? what does it do?

A

extends from the calcaneus to the cuboid and lateral metatarsals

provides structural stability to lateral side of foot

40
Q

Spring ligament - where does it run? what does it do?

A

calcaneus to navicular bones

supports medial longitudinal arch

41
Q

What is the function of the medial longitudinal ligament?

A

load bearing & shock absorbing

42
Q

What is the function of the plantar fascia?

A

provides passive support to medial longitudinal ligament

43
Q

What is the transverse arch formed by?

A

cuneiforms & cuboid

44
Q

A front squat requires more ankle ______________________.

A

dorsiflexion

45
Q

What individuals benefit from using a front squat? Why?

A

individuals w/back pain

shorter moment arm on back = less torque

46
Q

What individuals benefit from using a low bar back squat? Why?

A

individuals w/bad knees or w/longer femurs

shorter moment arm on knees = less torque
