A

Navicular
Cuboid
Cuneiforms

37
Q

Rearfoot components

A

Talus
Calcaneus

38
Q

Navicular Bone/Talonavicular Joint

A

Keystone of Arch

39
Q

Dorsiflexion/Plantarflexion predominately occur at what joint

A

Talocrural

40
Q

Inversion/Eversion

A

what calcaneus is doing relative to tibia

41
Q

Pronation is a combination of

A

Eversion
Abduction
Dorsiflexion

42
Q

Supination is a combination of

A

Inversion
Adduction
Plantarflexion

43
Q

Tibiofibular Ligaments are where ______ sprains occur.

A

High ankle sprains

44
Q

Tibiofibular Joints have _________ movement

A

virtually none

45
Q

Talocrural Joint’s Ligaments & Roles

A

Medial ones (Deltoid) resist eversion
Lateral ones resist inversion

46
Q

Talocrural provides ~80% of movement for ….

A

Plantarflexion (45-50%)
Dorsiflexion (15-25%)

47
Q

Subtalar joint has minimal _____ but can complete the other motions involved in pronating and supinating.

A

Minimal Dorsi/plantarflexion

can evert + abduct (12 deg)
can invert +adduct (22 deg)

48
Q

Medial Longitudinal Arch

A

primary load bearing and shock absorbing structure in the foot

49
Q

Medial Longitudinal Arch’s Passive Support and Active Support

A

Passive = Talonavicular Joint = Keystone & Plantar Fascia
Active = Intrinsic & Extrinsic (post tib) muscles

50
Q

“Navicular Drop”

A

-Contributes to dynamic lower extremity valgus
-Controlled by eccentric contraction of Post. Tib

51
Q

Tibialis Anterior

A

Dorsiflexion and Inversion (concentric)
Eccentrically controls plantarflexion and eversion

52
Q

Fibularis Longus & Brevis

A

Primary action = eversion
Secondary = plantarflexion

Eccentrically works to prevent inversion ankle sprains

53
Q

Gastroc (crosses knee)
Soleus (doesn’t cross knee)

A

Plantarflexion (concentrically)
eccentrically controls dorsiflexion

54
Q

Tibialis Posterior

A

Supination (inversion), Plantarflexion
eccentrically controls pronation

55
Q

When stretching plantarflexors, how do you target just gastroc and less soleus?

A

Stretch with knee extended (straight)
If knee is flexed, soleus is more targeted

56
Q

Pes Planus

A

Flat footed
-excessive laxity or overstretched/torn/weak plantar fascia, spring ligaments, Post. tib. etc

57
Q

Pes Planus may result in:

A

excessive pronation
Rearfoot valgus/calcaneal eversion
Forefoot varus/abduction
Hallux valgus
Wide Midfoot
Excessive use of foot muscles
Lengthening of plantar fascia
lack of dorsiflexion

58
Q

Pes Cavus

A

High Arch
onset could be idiopathic, genetic, neurological

59
Q

Pes Cavus may result in:

A

Rearfoot varus/inversion
Claw Toes
Forefoot valgus
reduced contact area
Angled metatarsals
shortening of plantar fascia
disuse of intrinsic foot muscles

60
Q

Forefoot Varus

A

Forefoot is inverted relative to rearfoot and is not on the ground/NWB. To WB, calcaneal eversion has to occur to put forefoot on ground

61
Q

Pes Planus Rigid vs Flexible

A

Rigid = bone or joint malformation; cannot dissipate forces/stress; more likely to fracture
Flexible = drops even flatter when WB

62
Q

Pes Cavus Rigid vs Flexible

A

Rigid= difficulty absorbing repeated impacts
Flexible= able to cave some into a more normal arch, so it can absorb some load

63
Q

Ankle Sprain

Compression side -> bony injury
Tensile side -> soft tissue injury

64
Q

A

Posterior Tib

65
Q
