COMPENSATION

Question 1

plantarflexion since it has a sustained mechanical advantage?

Answer 1

1st ray

Question 2

uniform throughout the causes of neuromuscular cavus foot

• eversion of forefoot on rearfoot and adduction/plantarflexion of forefoot on rearfoot (OMTJ)
• -pronated LMTJ, supinated OMTJ

Answer 2

MTJ

Question 3

supinated (direct or indirect)

Answer 3

STJ

Question 4

what type of STJ?

if the cause is plantarflexion and eversion of the forefoot on the rearfoot then STJ will supinate because of the forefoot influence on the STJ

Answer 4

indirect STJ

Question 5

what type of STJ?

if the cause is either PT overpowering peroneus brevis or gastroc/soleus overpowering and keeping the heel off the ground, resulting in STJ supination

Answer 5

direct STJ

Question 6

plantarflexion of the forefoot on rearfoot and supination of the rearfoot results in relative dorsiflexion at ankle joint

Answer 6

ankle joint

Question 7

will be different depending on the cause of the neuromuscular problem

relative ankle DF may cause the patient to fxn with some of the compensations seen in equinas

Answer 7

limb
