Chapter 20Ankle & Foot additional notes Flashcards
Projection on the medial side of the navicular; easily palpated
Tuberosity of Navicular
This bony protrusion supports the medial side of the talus and allows for three tendons to loop around it.
Sustentaculum Tali
The 5th metatarsal bone has this prominent feature and where.
Tuberosity of 5th metatarsal bone proximal and lateral
The mechanics of the midfoot provide for
stability and mobility
This part of the foot adapts to the level of the ground and is the last part of the foot to make contact with the ground during stance phase
Forefoot
Plantar & Dorsiflexion happen in this plane
Sagital plane
Inversion & eversion happen in this plane
Frontal
Abduction and Adduction happen in this plane
Transverse
The true ankle joint is made up of and referred to as
distal tibia, talus and medial malleolus
tenon and mortise
In the ankle joint the tenon is
the talus
In the ankle joint the mortise is the
malleoli of the tibia and fibula
In open chain the foot _____ during dorsiflexion
aBducts
In close chain during dorsiflexion the leg
Medially rotates
During ankle plantar flexion the leg _____ rotates on the foot
laterally
Transverse tarsal joint
made up of the anterior surfaces of the talus and calcaneus articulating with the posterior surfaces of the navicular and the cuboid, respectively
When ankle moves in plantar and dorsiflexion these motions are occurring primarily at the _____ joint
talocrural
When the ankle moves in inversion and eversion, these motions are occurring primarily at the____ and ____joints
subtalar and transverse tarsal joints
