Exam 2 Flashcards
What are the two functions of the foot
stability and mobility
what is the stability function of the foot
to provide a stable BoS for the WB, and to provide a rigid lever for push off during gait
what are the mobility functions of the foot
dampening rotations from the proximal joints, as well as school absorption and the ability to conform to changes in terrain.
General structure of the foot
bones and joints
like what
which is more important, stability or mobility
28 bones 25 joints, and like the wrist and hand but here stability is more important than mobility
what bones make up the forefoot, mid foot and rear/hindfoot
forefoot: phalanges and metatarsals
mid foot: cuboid, cuneiform and navicular
hind: talus, calcaneous
true or false: it is hard to produce our DF or PF
true
where does DF and PF occur, and in what plane and what axis
at the talocrural joint, or ankle joint, and in the sagittal plane around the frontal axis
what are the normal ranges for DF and PF
DF 20
PF 50
INV and EVE occur in what plane around what axis
in the fontal plane, AP axis
Describe the motions of INV and EVE
INV: plantar surface towards the midline
EVE: plantar surface away from the midline
In what plane and around what axis does ABD and ADD occur
in the transverse plane, around the vertical axis.
Describe the motions of ABD and ADD
ADD: distal segment towards the midline of the body
ABD: distal segment away from the midline of the body
supination and pronation occur at what joint
subtalar joint
in an OKC the calcaneous moves on the … for supination and pronation
fixed talus/leg
What motions happen during OKC supination
calcaneous PF, INV and ADD
what motions happen during OKC pronation
calcaneous DF, EVE and ABD
What motions happen with CKC pronation
IR tibia and fibula
Talar ADD and PF
Calcaneal EVE
what motions happen with CKC supination
ER tibia and fibula
Talar ABD and DF
Calcaneal INV
raising the arch of the foot is like pronation or supination
Supination
What is the issue with composite triplanes motion terminology
orthopedics use INV and EVE and Its usually use pronation and supination, so there can be miscommunications between clinicians
what is the difference between valgus and varus
valgus is when the distal segment moves away from the midline, and varus is when the distal segment moves towards the midline
what are the three components of the tibiofibular joints
proximal, middle and distal
what type of joint is the proximal tibiofib joint and what motion is allowed here. what are the articulating surfaces
synovial, between the fibular head and the fibular articulating surface of the tibia. allows for superior and inferior fibular gliding as well as fibular rotation.
the middle tibiofibular joint is also known as the
interosseous membrane
what kind of joint is the distal tibiofibular joint, and what supports it. also, what are the articulating surfaces
syndesmosis/fibrous
distal fibula and the fibular notch of the tibia
ligaments include the anterior and posterior tibfib. that restrict motion and stabilize the mortise
what is the main ankle joint, and what kind of joint is it
the talocrural joint
synovial, modified saddle or hinge joint
what is the mortise made up of
the rectangular cavity for the talus. it is made up of the tibia, which is the roof, and the medial malleolus, and the lateral malleolus of the fibula
what is the tenon
the projection shape for the insertion into the mortise, or the trochlear of the talus
the tenon/talus and mortise is wider anteriorly, which means…
means that there is more of a congruency throughout the entire ROM, and that the tightest fit is during PF and DF.
what is the most congruent joint of the body
the talocrural joint
does the talocrural joint have muscular attachments or a blood supply
no, so this is very bad when it comes to fracturing it.
