foot Flashcards
name the 7 tarsal bones
calcaneus, talus, navicualr, 3 cuneiforms, cuboid
rearfoot
talus, calcaneus
midfoot
navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms
forefoot
metatarsals, phalanges
what kind of joint is the distal tibiofibular
syndesmosis
what kind of joint is the talocrual (ankle joint)
modified hinge
distal tib, fib, and talus
dorsiflexion/plantarflexion
what kind of joint is the subtalar joint?
synovial plane
talus, calncaneus
inversions and eversion
medial/deltoid ligament
tibionavicular
anterior and posterior tibiotalar
tibiocalcaneal
lateral ankle ligaments
anterior and posterior talofibular
calcaneofibular
spring ligament
plantar calcaneus
important in the transfer of weight from the talus and in maintaining the longitudinal arch of the foot
plantar calcaneonavicular ligament
sustaculum tali to the posterior inferior surface of the navicular
long plantar ligament
forms a tunnel for fibularis longus; supports arches of the foot; calcaneus to cuboid, just prximal to PL tunnel then attaches on metatarsals
short plantar ligament
maintains longitudinal arch; calcaneus to cuboid
subtalar ligaments
medial, lateral, and posteror talocalcaneal ligaments
support the capsule, interosseous talocalcaneal ligament binds bones together
3 contributing factors to support the arches of the foot
- Bony architecture
- Strong plantar ligaments and aponeurosis
- Bracing action of the muscles of the foot. foot muscles are not so much for fine movement: as in the hand, but more for the support of the arches
arches of the foot
lateral longitudinal arch
medial longitudinal arch
transverse arch
ligament supports of the MLA
plantar calcaneonavicular (spring ligament) plantar apponeurosis plantar clcaneocuboid (short plantar ligament)
ligament supports of the LLA
long plantar ligament plantar apponeurosis plantar calcaneocuboid (short plantar ligament)
muscle supports of the MLA
tibialis anterior
peroneus longus
abductor hallucis
flexor digitorum brevis
muscle supports of the LLA
flexor digitorum brevis
abductor digiti minimi
abductor hallucis innervation
medial plantar nerver
abductor hallucis action
abducts great toe, supports medial longitudinal arch of foot
flexor digitorum brevis innervation
medial planter nerve
