Foot And Ankle Flashcards
Crucial that the foot is ———- to provide an appropriate BOS
Stable
Foot functions as a ———- ————
Pushing off when walking, running or jumping
Rigid lever
The foot must also be ———- enough to accommodate and adapt to uneven terrain & —————- ———-when foot hits the ground
Mobile
Absorb shock
The ankle complex includes what jts
Proximal tibiofibular joint Distal tibiofibular joint Talocrural joint (ankle joint)
The foot includes what jts
Talocalcaneal joint (subtalar joint) Transverse Tarsal Joint (Talonavicular,Calcaneocuboid) Tarsometatrsal joints Metatarsophalangeal joints Interphalengeal joints
What are the 3 functional segments of the foot?
Hindfoot (rearfoot) -Talus -Calcaneus Midfoot -Navicular -Cuboid -3 cuneiform bones Forefoot -Metatarsals -Phalanges
The proximal tibiofibular jt is a ——- jt and the distal tibiofibular jt is a ——— jt
Plane synovial
Synarthrosis
Unlike the proximal tibiofibular jt, the distal tibiofibular jt does not have a….
Instead it is stabilized by an
Jt capsule
Interosseous membrane
What is a high ankle sprain
Injury in the distal tibiofibular jt when the talus of forcefully laterally rotated within the ankle mortise
Closed packed position of the proximal/distal tibiofibular jt
Max dorsiflexion
Open packed position of the proximal/distal tibiofibular jts
10 deg plantar flexion
Describe the talocrural jt
Hinge jt between the ankle mortise (tibia/fibula) and talus
What are the passive structures of the talocrural jt
Medial collateral (deltoid) lig Lateral collateral lig
Describe the deltoid lig
Extremely strong lig that helps limit eversion/pronation
The lateral collateral lig at the ankle is a combo of what ligs
Anterior talofibular lig
Calcaneofibular lig
Posterior talofibular lig
Function of the lateral collateral lig at the ankle
Limit inversion/supination
What active structures limit plantar flexion
Tib anterior
Extensor hallucis Longus
Extensor digitorum Longus
What active structures limit dorsiflexion
Gastric and soleus
What active structures assist the MCL
Tib posterior
Flexor hallucis Longus
Flexor digitorum Longus
What active structures assist the LCL
Fibularis Longus and brevis
The trochlear surface of the talus is wider where?
Anteriorly
Describe the osteo and Arthrokinematics of the talocrural jt
Dorsiflexion- anterior roll and posterior glide
Plantarflexion- posterior roll and anterior glide
What is the closed packed position the talocrural jt
Max dorsiflexion
What is the open packed position of the talocrural jt
10 deg plantar flexion
What is the capsular pattern of the talocrural jt
Plantarflexion > dorsiflexion
Pronation allows for __________, while full supination __________ the bones of the foot
Mobility
Locks
What are the three plantar arches of the foot?
These arches are fully integrated to _______ the dynamic function of the foot.
Medial, longitudinal, and transverse
Enhance
The __________ arch is typically higher than the _________ arch
Medial
Lateral
What helps stabilize/support plantar arches
Shape of bones, ligaments, and muscles.
Describe how the plantar arches help mobility of the foot
Allows the foot to ….
Dampen impact of weight-bearing forces
Dampen superimposed rotational motions
Adapt to changes in supporting surfaces and terrain
