ankle & foot sprains - final exam Flashcards
-What is one of the MOST frequent injuries in the sporting population?
–up to _____ of people unable to attend work for > 1wks.
Sprains
1/4
The risk of re-injury is common following a _____ sprain
inversion
General RF of ankle sprains: (4)
Previous ankle sprain(s)
Lack of external support
Lack of warm-up
Lack of coordination training
RF of ankle sprains: IMPAIRED DF possibly due to:
- Shortened Triceps Surae (Calf)
- Talar hypomobility
—decreased post. glide
—decreased ER - Fribrosed capsule
–universal hypo
–no distraction and limited glide in all directions
Limited DF may excessively load lateral foot because ___________jt. not reaching ______ and staying in a _______ longer before pronating.
talocrural; CPP; supination
Etiology of Lateral Ankle Sprains:
excessive PF and IV
Structures involved with Lateral Ankle Sprains:
Talocural Ligaments
—-ATF MOST COMMONLY
—CF
—PTF
The CF ligament is primarily torn with ______ ______
—will be on slack with ______
pure inversion
PF
The Talocalcaneal and ________ ligaments can also be involved with lateral ankle sprains.
—intraarticular -
—extraarticular -
subtalar
ant. interosseous
lateral attaches and runs parallel top CF lig so they will be damaged together
Lateral Sprains: BONE INVOLVEMENT
1. avulsion fx of lateral malleolus due to:
2. avulsion fx of 5th MT from:
3. medial malleolus fx form:
4. cuboid displacement due to:
5. fibula ant. subluxed on tibia by:
- ligamentous attachment
- excessive action of Peroneus Brevis
- excessive IV
- excessive action of pernoeus longus
- reversal of mm. action of peroneals
Symptoms of Lateral Sprains:
onset:
observation:
ROM:
sudden onset with trauma by “rolling ankle” and the foot turning inward
lat. ankle P!/swelling
limited and P!ful ROM, especially point foot (PF) and turning inward (IV)
difficult and P!ful WB
Signs: Lateral Sprains (cont. symptoms)
observation:
CDR to determine the need of:
Resisted/MMT:
swelling and possible ecchymosis
antalgic and asymmetrical gait
radiographs; determine ankle or foot
possible weak and P!ful EV
Signs of Lateral Sprains
Accessory motions findings: (2)
likely hypermobile ant, Talar glides due to ATF lig. laxity
possible hypomobile cuboid from subluxation
Lateral Lig. Special Tests:
What are these tests listed below: general or specific; talus or subtalar?
1. Stabilize leg, apply PA force to talus through calcaneus in 15º PF
2. In HL, with ankle in 15º PF apply AP force to leg
General; Talus
1. ant. drawer test
2. reverse ant. drawer (RADT)
Lateral Lig. Sprains: Special Tests
What are the specific test for ATF:
reverse antlat drawer (RALDR) -add ankle IR to RADT
antlat. talar palpation- palpate antlat talus with RALDT
Lateral Lig. Sprains: Special Tests
What is the specific test for CF:
What is the specific test for PTF:
medial talar tilt for CF - near 20º DF, IV and pull calcaneus obliquely to chest
-in neutral, twist calcaneus/talus in ER
Lateral Lig. Special Tests:
What is this test for below: general or specific; talus or subtalar?
1. pt. in side lying calcaneal medial glide stabilize talus in supine
general; subtalar
Specific Subtalar Lateral Lig. Special Tests: IV (2)
ant. interosseou hold IV then PF calcaneus: (-) no give
lateral- hold IV then DF calcaneus
