A

Restricted posterior glide with dorsiflexion Restricted anterior glide with plantarflexion

23
Q

Anterior tibia on talus dysfxn

Q

Posterior tibia on talus dysfxn

A

Ankle prefers dorsiflexion and posterior glide Tibia is restricted in gliding posteriorly on talus

25
Q

Anterior Lateral Malleolus dysfxn

Lateral malleolus has free anterior glide relative to distal tibia Distal medial border of the talus is more prominent Lateral malleolus restricted in posterior glide

26
Q

Posterior Lateral Malleolus dysfxn

28
Q

Most common dysfxn of navicular bone

A

Plantar navicular dysfxn, lateral navicular drops plantar

29
Q

Evaluation of plantar navicular dysfxn

A

Physician locks out motion at the talus with one hand while grasping navicular bone bw thumb and 1st finger of other hand. Glide dorsally and ventrally, noting any restriction to motion and compare bilaterally Restricted in dorsal glide

30
Q

Most common dysfxn of cuboid bone

A

Plantar cuboid dysfxn, medial cuboid drops plantar

31
Q

Evaluation of Plantar Cuboid Dysfxn
