Ankle Foot and Lower leg Flashcards
What is the purpose of the malleolus
Serves as a pulley nd provide leverage for tendons/muscles
increases force and ability for muscles to perform their actioms
What does the lateral malleolus do
helps the peroneus longus ans brevid perform eversion
What does the medial malleolus do
helps tibialis posterior perform inversion
Where is the flexor hallicus tendon embedded?
beneath the first metatarsal
What ligaments make up the deltoid
Posterior tibiotalar
tibiocalcaneal
anterior tubuotalor
tibionavicular
Intertarsal
holds all tarsal bones
tarsometatarsal
in between tarsal and metatarsal
intermetatarsal
holds all metatarsals
metarsophalangeal
holds together mtp joints
interphalangeal
holds together toes
Foot arches
created by the bones of the foot, supported by ligaments and fasciae
medial longitudinal arch and what is it made of
shock absorption
calcaneus, talus, navicular, 1st cuneiform, 1st metatarsal
supported dynamically by tibialis posterior and anterior
Transverse metatarsal arch
transverse arch of the metatarsal heads
Assists in adapting foot to ground
Across foot from 1st met to 5th
Plantar fasciae
Assists in stabilizing the medial long arch and in propelling the body forward in walking
What are the talocrural movements
Dorsiflextion and plantar flextion
Subtalar movements
EVersion and inversion
