A

sagittal plane motion

23
Q

motion of the leg- internal and external rotation

A

24
Q

Fixed structural variations of the foot:
- fixation of a part in the position it would assume in adduction. A transverse fixation with the distal end displaced toward the midline.

25
Q

Fixed structural variations of the foot:

  • fixation of a part in the position it would assume in abduction.
  • transverse fixation with the distal end displaced away from the midline.
26
Q

Fixed structural variations of the foot:

  • fixation of the part in the position it would assume if inverted
  • frontal plane fixation in which the plantar surface is turned toward the midline.
27
Q

Fixed structural variations of the foot:

  • fixation of the part in the position it would assume if everted.
  • frontal plane fixation in which the plantar surface is turned away from the midline.
28
Q

Fixed structural variations of the foot:

  • fixation of the foot or part of the foot in the position it would assume if plantarflexed.
  • distal end of the part is further away from the tibia.
A

equinus

ex. someone walking on their tip-toes

29
Q

Fixed structural variations of the foot:

  • fixation of the foot or part of the foot in the position it would assume if dorsiflexed.
  • distal end of the part is closer to the tibia.
30
Q

Fixed structural variations of the foot:

  • hereditary defects which change the position of the entire foot.
  • deformity can be either in the talus, calcaneus or both.
31
