inversion adn eversion
What muscles produce inversion of the foot?
tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior
What muscles produce eversion of the foot?
fibularis muscles
What is the tarsometatarsal joint made up of?
between the cuneiforms/ cuboid proximally and the metarsals
What type of joint are the metatarsophalangeal joints?
synovial
What movements do the MTP joints allow?
flexion; extension; abduction; adduction and circumduction of the digits
What type of joitn are the interphalangeal joints?
synovial hinge joints
What movements occur at the interphalangeal joints?
flexion and extension of the toes
What are the functions of the arches of the foot?
provide shock absorption; push off spring and increased weight bearing capacity by weight redistribution
What supports the arches of the foot?
plantar aponeurosis and the plantar ligaments
What is the plantar aponeurosis?
a thickened central area of plantar fascia- the feep fasica of the sole of the foot
What forms the medial longitudinal arch?
the bones of hte medial aspect of hte foot
What bones make up the medial aspect of the foot?
calcaneus; talus; navicular; 3 cuneiforms and metatarsals 1-3
What is the medial longitudinal arch supported by?
the flexor hallucis longus and the attachments of tibilais anterior and fibularis longus
What is the attachment of tibilais anterior?
junction between the medial cuneiform and base of 1st metatarsal
What is the attachment of fibularis longus?
tendon passses acorss the plantar aspect of hte bones of the foot from lateral to medial to also attach to the medial cuneiform and base of the 1st metatarsal
