foot Flashcards
keystone
the central wedge of an arch that holds the other parts of the arch together. In the foot it is the cuboid bone.
talus
!
Calcaneus
a 2 joint muscle which both flexes knee and extends the ankle

Triceps surae
!
Gastrocnemius
crosses the knee joint and ends in the achilles tendon which inserts on calcaneus (a 2 joint muscle which both flexes knee and extends the ankle)
Soleus
- partner to gastrocnemius
- action is confined to ankle joint. Soleus also ends in the achilles tendond, but its origin is below the knee joint
“Tom, Dick & Harry” muscles
three muscles deep to the calf plantar flex and also invert (sickle) the foot
- one attaches to the navicular and cuneiform bones- Tibialis posterior, inverts foot
- one attaches to the 4 outer toes- flexor Digitorum longus, most powerful flexor of toes 2-5, finishes the point of the foot, inverts foot
- one works on the big toe- flexor Hallucis longus- important in propulsion phase of walking or jumping. Also important in balancing on releve. Helps to stabilize inside of ankle joint, inverts foot
Extensor hallucis longus
Dorsiflexes big toe and foot
Extensor digitorum longus
dorsiflexes toes 2-5 and foot
everts foot
extends lateral 4 toes to enable you to stand on a platform in releve
anterior tibialis
strongest dorsiflexor of the foot- lifts up the foot to clear the ground when walking or running and acts in eccentric contraction to prevent the foot from slapping the ground after the heel strikes (drop foor-also has neurological implication)
inverts foot-lifts arch when passing through 1st during rond de jambe en dehors
Peroneus longus and brevis
(also called fibularis longus and brevis)
Recognize 4 actions of the intrinsic muscles of the sole of the foot
!
Inversion
sickle, supination
Eversion
Pronation
Supination
inversion
Pronation
pronation
Tibial torsion
when the distal end of the tibia faces medially or laterally while the dital end of the femur faces front
Claw toes
MTP joint
both IP joint are fixed in flexion
Hammertoes
MTP joint is fixed in hyperextension
Proximal IP joint is fixed in flexion
Distal IP joint is in hyperextension so that tip of toe is pressed downward on floor
anterior tibiofibular ligaments
(syndesmosis joint and high ankle sprain)
**
Anterior talofibular ligament
!
The foot does four main things
strength and support
propulsion- propels you forward
shock absorption
perception- where you are-percieves if something is there
Calcaneofibular ligament
