Q

Treatment with Talar Swing Test

A

increase df and ER for fully closed pack position
Glide to point of resistance, than provide HR technique.

Ask pt to resist you as your provide pf and inversion. Hold 10 s. Relax, glide talus more post and lateral while DF ankle, repeat 3 times. Can do 3 sets of the program

Q

Windlass Test for PF

A

NWB, knee flexed to 90°. Sitting is the best

ankle at 90°/neutral

extend 1st MTP while keeping IP in flexion to avoid motion limitation from short hallucis longus. Palpate plantar fascia

Q

Oblique Midtarsal Joint Axis

A

stabilize neutral calcaneous with inside hand
move foot at distal 5th metatarsals

invert calcenous and then evert. Inversion should have less because it is locking the midtarsal joint

Q

Longitudinal Midtarsal Joint Axis

A

stabilize calcaenous with outside hand
pivot MTJ by grasping navicular or cuneiform

lock the axis by inverting calcaneous and see if there is still motion

Q

Medial glide of subtalar joint

A

should do for restricted joint motion ot increase inversion

post: sidelying with foot off end of plinth, rolled towel under table

giving downward force to the calcaneous after it has been placed in neutral

17
Q

Lateral Glide of subtalar joint

A

used to increase eversion

sidelying with foot off the end of plinth table. rolled towel under later ankle

mobilizing the calcaneos in a downawrd motion

18
Q

Anterior glide of talocrural joint

A

used for restricted joint motion, increases plantar flexion

mobilizing the calcaneous in an upwards direction/anterior force after being placed in motion barrier position

19
Q

Posterior Glide of talocrural joint

A

used for restricted joint motion, and to increase DF

applying a towards mobilization to the navicular area of the top of the foot

20
Q

Paper pull test

A

testing the strength of the flexor intrinsics of the 1st MTP

could be correlated with low heel rise height and low 1 MTP strength

21
Q

Strength assessment of Ankle/Foot

A

PF: heel rise 20 reps, with consistent height. Plantar pressure through 1st met

DF: walk on heels

Subtalar: isolate everters and inverters

Midtarsal: doming

Big Toe: paper pull, toe curl, manual resistance

22
Q

Functional tests for DF

A

stairs
squatting
knee to wall (rom)
walk on heels

23
Q

Subtalar eval

A

prone, stabilize the tibia, cup the calcaneus and invert/evert

24
Q

Plantarflexion Functional Tests

A

Calf raises (20 at least)
Walking at fast pace

25
Q

Basic Foot Intrinsic

A
  1. Toe mobility
  2. Toe spread out
  3. Foot core
26
Q

Toe mobility

A
  1. press little toes down and lift big toes up
  2. press the big toe down and lift little toes up (FL)
  3. keep big toe down and lift all little toes, bring small toe back down

if having difficulty, can use your hands to hold down. Also pair with mobilizing midfoot and forefoot

27
Q

Foot doming

A

keep toes on floor, bring ball of foot towards the heel, making the foot shorter. Hold for 10 s

28
Q

Errors of Doming

A

toe flexion
anterior tib over activation
supination

29
Q

Basic foot intrinsics prescription

A

perform seated
do 10 of each, then repeat for a total of 5 minutes, 3-5 times a day

30
Q

Intermediate Foot intrinsics

A
  1. Short foot in active standing
  2. Short foot in SLS
31
Q

Short foot in active sitting

A

stand w/toes pointing forward, slightly out and dome feet

unlock the knees and squeeze you butt

tip pelvis to neutral, draw naval towards spine, pull shoulders down, draw chin in

32
Q

Short foot in single leg

A

from active standing, pick up one leg while activating arch and doming foot

can progress to weight shifting and mini heel raise

variations: single leg deadlift, unstable surfaces, rotation

33
Q

Advanced foot intrinsics

A
  1. short foot with hopping
  2. Box jumps
  3. Lateral/forward bounds
34
Q

Short foot with hopping

A

perform a small hop and land back in active standing

perform barefoot, dome your feet, and land in a domed position

35
Q

Hop laterally

A

focus on increasing distance, speed, and focus on soft landings with the dome

can change directions or do bilateral to single leg

36
Q

Box jumps

A

start with 2-4 in

focus on landing light with dome
progress height of boxes or to jumping down
