Foot Flashcards
What does the talus articulate with?
tibia/fibula
calcaneus
navicular
what does the calcaneous articulate with?
talus
cuboid
what is the purpose of the plantar aponeurosis
Slips from central part of fascia go deep superiorly to form three compartments on sole of foot
Holds parts of foot together
Helps to protect plantar surface of foot from injury
Helps support longitudinal arches of foot
what is the purpose of the superficial fascia
the fibrous septa with fat over heel and metatarsal surface to provide shock absorption
what is the deep fascia continuous with
inferior extensor retinaculum and plantar fascia
how many bands does the fascia divide into
5 bands
the integrity and strength of the arch of the foot is due to …
shape of the bones (interlocking bony structure)
strength of the plantar ligaments and planter aponeurosis (bears most of load in maintaining arch)
slings formed by tendons of the long muscle of the leg
muscles of the sole of the foot
what makes up the hind foot
talus and calcaneus
what makes up the ankle
tibia, fibula, and talus
name the extrinsic dorsal muscles (5)
Anterior tibialis Extensor hallucis longus Extensor digitorum longus Peroneus tertius Peroneus brevis
name the intrinsic dorsal muscles (2)
extensor hallucis brevis
extensor digitorum brevis
what nerve supplies the intrinsic dorsal muscles
deep fibular nerve
what is the function of the extensor hallucis brevis
helps extend proximal phalanx of the great toe
what is the function of the extensor digitorum brevis
helps extend proximal phalanges of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toes
which muscles help to maintain plantar arches
ALL of these muscles
