Ankle Foot Biomechanics Flashcards
how is the deltoid ligament sprained?
eversion
T/F: the deltoid ligament inserts into the medial capsule
T
how are the lateral ligaments sprained?
inversion
which ligament is sprained most often? 2nd most?
1 - anterior TALOfibular lig
2 - calcaneofibular lig
joint lines of the ankle
talocrural - mortis (tib fib) & talus
subtalar - talus & calcaneus
how does the proximal tib fib joint move during DF?
superior glide
ER of fibula
how does the distal tib fib joint move during DF?
spreading of syndesmosis
where is the talus wider?
anteriorly and laterally
which bone extends more inferior at the distal tib fib joint?
fibula
what motions are needed for global pronation?
DF (20 deg)
abduction
eversion
what motions are needed for global supination?
PF (50 deg)
adduction
inversion
how much TC motion is needed for walking?
20 deg PF
10 deg DF
describe open chain roll and glide for DF
talus rolls anterior and glides posterior
ER of lateral talus
describe closed chain roll and glide for DF
mortise rolls and glides anterior
open pack position of TCJ?
5-10 deg PF
closed pack position of TCJ?
full DF
capsular pattern of TCJ
PF>DF
(DF more important)
describe open chain motions for subtalar pronation
calcaneal eversion
forefoot DF
forefoot abduction
describe open chain motions for subtalar supination
calcaneal inversion
forefoot PF
forefoot adduction
describe closed chain motions for subtalar pronation
calcaneal eversion
talus adduction
talus PF
