Subtalar joint structure

A

3 articulations separated by tarsal canal
2 separate joint cavities
Dampens LE rotary forces to maintain foot contact with ground

27
Q

Subtalar Joint ligaments

A

Interosseous talocalcaneal - limits eversion
Lateral talocalcaneal - limits inversion
Ligamentum cervicis - limits inversion
Posterior talocalcaneal ligament - limits plantarflexion

28
Q

Subtalar OKC osteokinematics

A

Supination: Calcaneal Inversion, Adduction, Plantarflexion

Pronation: Calcaneal eversion, abduction, and dorsiflexion

29
Q

Subtalar CKC Osteokinematics

A

BW prevents calcaneus from ABd/ADd or DF/PF on talus
Supination: Calcaneal inversion, talar abduction, talar DF

Pronation: Calcaneal eversion, talar adduction, talar PF

Supination is closed pack

30
Q

Subtalar CKC ROM

A

20 degrees inversion
10 degrees eversion
4-6 degrees inversion and pronation required for gait

31
Q

Subtalar CKC Arthrokinematics

A

Posterior T-C: Concave talus moves on convex calcaneus

Ant and Middle T-C: Convex talus moving on concave calcaneus

32
Q

Single Axis Triplanar Subtalar ROM

A

Sagittal inclination of 42 degrees
Trasverse inclination of 16 degrees to the medial side
Allows IN/EV and ABD/ADD to be equal
Only allows minimal DF/PF

33
Q

How to calculate Rearfoot neutral

A

Measure inversion and eversion
Add inversion and eversion then divide by 3
Subtract result from eversion degree

34
Q

Mitered Hinge Subtalar Joint

A

Lateral rotation of tibia as the hindfoot supinates

35
Q

Talocalcanealnavicular Joint Structure

A

Part of the transverse tarsal joint

30 degrees anterior/medial inclination transverse

37
Q

-Eversion with PF

46
Q

Transverse Plantar Arch

A

Decreases in curvature from TMT to MTP

47
Q

Longitudinal Plantar Arch

A 
Continuous from calc to met heads
Stability is aided by:
Spring ligament
Long plantar ligament
Plantar aponeurosis
Short plantar ligament
48
Q

Plantar Aponeurosis

A

Stabilizes arch like a tie rod

Subjected to tension loads

49
Q

Windlass Mechanism

A
  • Plantar pads move distally during toe DF
  • Plantar fascia is pulled forward and around the met heads
  • Results in supination and reduces the distance between met heads and calcaneus
  • Arch height increases
50
Q

Distribution of body weight

A

Talus 50% in bilateral stance
25% of weight goes to rearfoot
25% of weight goes to forefoot

51
Q

Consequences of compensatory pronation

A

Tension overloads the tibialis posterior

Reduces cuboid pulley and fibular longus ability to PF and Abduct first ray. Results in 2nd met head overload

52
Q

Cuboid pulley

A

Displaces fibularis longus tendon inferiorly to improve plantarflexion moment

53
Q

Manifestations of abnormal foot mechanics

A

Abnormal magnitude of joint motion
