Chapter 18 - The Foot Flashcards
function of foot sesamoid bones
reduce pressure in weight bearing
increase mechanical advantage of flexor tendon
act as sliding pulleys for tendon
plantar fascia attaches where posteriorly?
calcanea tuberosity
sustenaculum tali located on the…
calcaneus
shape of the talus
broader anteriorly than posteriorly
bony alignment limits dorsiflexion
cuboid is on which side of the foot
lateral aspect of the foot
cuboid articulates with which metatarsals?
4th and 5th
cuneiforms sit between
the navicular and bases of metatarsals 1-3
medial longitudinal arch formed by
calcaneus, navicular, talus, 1st cuneiform, 1st metatarsal
spring ligament
attaches from calcaneus to navicular
navicular is on the
medial side of the foot
what tendons run along the medial longitudinal arch
posterior and anterior tibialis
lateral longitudinal arch
calcaneus, cuboid, 5th metatarsal
what tendons run along the lateral longitudinal arch
peroneus longus
anterior metatarsal arch
metatarsal heads
transverse arch
across transverse tarsal bones
what tendons run across the transverse arch
peroneal longus, tibialis posterior
plantar fascia supports the foot…
against downward forces
sub-talar joint
talus and calcaneus
sub-talar movements
inver/ever pron/sup
mechanics of pronation
calcaneus everts, talus PF and ADD, flattens medial longitudinal arch
mechanics of supination
calcaneus inverts, talus DF and ABD, increases medial longitudinal arch
pronation
eversion +abduction of forefoot
supination
inversion + adduction of the forefoot
muscles that pronate
peroneus longus/brevis/tertius
extensor digitorum longus
muscles that supinate
tibialis posterior,
flexor digitorum longus,
flexor hallucis longus,
tibialis anterior,
extensor hallucis longus
tibial nerve
posterior leg, plantar foot
common perineal nerve
front of leg, foot
arteries of foot
A/P tibial arteries
forefoot consists of
metatarsals and phlanges
mid foot consists of
navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms
rear foot consists of
calcaneus, talus
stance phase
initial contact of heel to toe off (60% of total gait)
heel strike, mid stance, push-off
heel strike
contact on lateral calcaneus with subtler supination and tibial ER
midstance
subtler joint pronates, and tribal IR (20%)
pronation maintained to provide shock absorption by unlocking the midfoot
push off
foot begins to supinate and will approach neutral subtler position at 70-90% of stance phase
supination locks the mid foot back up to form a rigid lever
swing phase
time between toe off and initial contact (NWB)
initial swing, mid swing, terminal swing
pronation involves what structural deformities
pes planes, forefoot varus, forefoot valgus, rear foot vars (in NWB)
pronation causes increased medial tension of..
post tib. and gastroc/soleus
pronation causes increased lateral compression of what joints
subtler and talocrural
pronation cause what at the knee
valgus force at the knee
excessive pronation
loose foot ->increased forefoot motion
compromises 1st met and attachment of peroneus longus
supination involves what structural deformities
forefoot valgus, pes Cavus
tibial ER compensation
Excessive supination causes
insufficient GRF absorption
puts weight on 1st and 5th mets
limits IR: inversion sprains, MTSS, peroneal tendinitis, IT band friction syndrome, trochanteric bursitis
pump bump aka
Haglaund’s deformity
hallux valgus aka
bunion
sustenaculum tali located
medially
sinus tarsi located
laterally
pulses
posterior tibial (behind medial malleolus)
dorsal pedal
