Question 3

Talocrursal joint

Answer 3

Between the distal tibia and fibula and the talus
Heavy ligamental support
1 degree of freedom - dorsi and plantar flexion
0 when the foot is flat on the floor or at a right angle

Question 4

Subtalar joint

Answer 4

Between the posterior, anterior and middle talus and calcaneus
Plane articulation
Heavy ligamental support
Allows for inversion and eversion
-Combination of abd/add, flex/ext, and sup/pron
-Tri or multiplanar

Transverse tarsal joint (midtarsal)

Answer 5

Made up of 2 joints
Talonavicular & calcaneocuboid
Important in inversion and eversion

Question 6

Tarsometatarsal joint

Answer 6

Distal row of tarsals to the metatarsals

Flexion/extension, minimal abd/add

Question 7
