Exam 2 Flashcards
Rigid foot, high-arched
pes cavus
Flexible foot, flattened arch
pes planus
Talocrural joint motion in dorsiflexion
talus rolls anteriorly and glides posteriorly
Talocrural joint motion in plantarflexion
talus rolls posteriorly and glides anteriorly
Need …. of DF during walking and …. during running.
10 degrees
20 degrees
Several articular surfaces of the subtalar joint:
Posterior facet of the talus is….
Posterior facet of the calcaneus is….
Middle and anterior facets of the talus are…..
Middle and anterior facets of the calcaneus are….
Glide associated with subtalar eversion….
Glide associated with subtalar inversion…
concave convex convex concave lateral medial
What glide is associated with subtalar eversion?
lateral glide
What glide is associated with subtalar inversion?
medial glide
Open chain pronation for calcaneus: (3)
eversion
abduction
dorsiflexion
Closed chain pronation for calcaneus and talus?
Calcaneal ….
Talar…
Talar…
eversion
adduction
plantarflexion
Supination open chain for calcaneus.
inversion
adduction
plantarflexion
Supination closed chain for calcaneus and talus.
inversion
talar abduction
talar dorsiflexion
Windlass mechanism
great toe extension resulting in tightening of the plantar aponeurosis
Four points of normalcy for foot and ankle
- tibia is vertical
- calcaneus is in line with the tibia
- metatarsals are in a plane that is perpendicular to the calcaneus.
- metatarsals are in the same plane
Forefoot varus
NWB
WB
pinky toe toward examiner’s body. Big toe towards patient’s body.
forefoot inverted
STJ neutral
Calc vertical
forefoot flat
STJ pronated
Calc everted
Forefoot valgus
NWB
WB
Big toe towards examiner’s body and pinky toe towards patient’s body.
forefoot everted
STJ neutral
Calc vertical
forefoot flat
STJ supinated
Calc inverted
Forefoot varus WB position in terms of motion
foot pronates too long when it should be supinating at end of stance
Forefoot valgus WB position in terms of motion
foot supinates too soon
Rearfoot varus
NWB
WB
forefoot/rearfoot inverted
STJ neutral
Calc inverted
Forefoot flat
STJ pronated
Calc vertical
Rearfoot varus may require a lot of activation of … to control excessive pronation.
posterior tibialis
Equinus
Due to
WB implications
a plantarflexed foot
often due to tight gastroc and achilles
never reach 10 degrees dorsiflexion
Progressive adduction of the 1st metatarsal and lateral deviation of the great toe, creating a larger medial angle
hallux abducto valgus
Short limb causes foot….
Long limb causes foot….
supination
pronation
Callus formation from subtalar joint caused by
shear forces and instability of bone
When hip is neutral and you move into flexion what is the glide? extension? abduction? adduction? internal rotation? external rotation?
posterior anterior inferior superior posterior anterior
When the hip is in 90 flexion and you move into flexion what is the glide? extension? abduction? adduction? internal rotation? external rotation?
inferior null anterior posterior inferior superior
Angle of inclination
angle in the frontal plane between the neck of the femur and the medial side of the femoral shaft
Normal angle of inclination?
125 degrees
Coxa valgum?
greater than 125
Coxa varus?
less than 125
Deviations from normal angle of inclination can be from?
birth or due to fracture
Coxa valgum tends to …. the limb. The shaft of the femur is more aligned with …. forces. There is a … mechanical advantage of hip muscles. There is …. hip stability. May lead to…
lengthen vertical weight bearing forces decreased decreased osteoarthritis, dislocation
Coxa varum tends to… the limb. There is … bending moment at the neck of the femur. There is a …. moment arm for hip muscles so they dont have to generate as much force. There are also …. joint reaction forces. Hip joint is thought to be more…. relative to coxa valgum. May lead to..
shorten increased longer decreased stable joint fracture
Angle of torsion
angle between the line that runs through the femoral head and neck and a line that runs between the femoral condyles. (rotation between the neck and the shaft of the femur)
Normal anteversion:
Excessive anteversion:
Retroversion:
15 degrees (8-20 degrees)
over 15 or 20 degrees
less than 15 or 8 degrees
What is our angle of torsion when we are born?
40 degrees
When there is excessive anteversion, there is …. hip IR ROM, … ER ROM, ….joint stability (more of the joint exposed…), … muscle lever arm (…joint forces), related posture is….
increased decreased decreased anteriorly decreased increased toeing in with gait
