Foot and Ankle Flashcards
the podiatric model focuses on…
alignment and biomechanics
functions of the foot
1 - absorb rotation
2 - loose adaptor
3 - base of support
4 - rigid lever
which muscles attach to the talus
none of them
what muscle controls foot pronation
posterior tib
how much DF do you need for normal walking
10
20 for running
for stress fractures, how do you decide if they should be non-weight bearing
if they have pain with normal everyday activities they should probably be NWB for a period of time
what is chronic compartment syndrome usually due to
overuse of a muscle in that compartment
can we treat chronic compartment syndrome
sometimes but it often still becomes a surgical issue
the talocrural joint is approx __ degrees varus and about ______ degrees externally rotated
2-3
23
talocrural DF range of motion
10-25
DF arthrokinematics
anterior roll
posterior glide
what could limit DF ROM
1 - posterior capsule
2 - gastroc/soleus
3 - deltoid ligament
4 - posterior tib-tib ligament
PF range of motion
40-65 degrees
what could limit PF
anterior capsule
anterior tib-fib ligament
PF arthrokinematics
posterior roll
anterior glide
ligamnets of the ankle mortise
interosseous membrane
ant tibio-fibular
post tibio-fibular
how long does it typically take for a high ankle sprain to heal
6-8 weeks
typical MOI for high ankle sprain
ER
is immobilization common with a high ankle sprain
yes
what are the ligs of the medial ankle
ant tibio-talar
ant tibio-navicular
calcaneo-tibio
post tibio-talar
what are the ligs of the lateral ankle
ant talo-fibular
calcaneo-fibular
post talo-fibular
most commonly sprained ligament
anterior talofibular ligament
is ultrasound affective for acute ankle sprains
no
are bracing and manual therapy supported for acute ankle sprains
yes
is manual therapy supported for chronic sprains
yes
should pts with chronic ankle sprains wear an ankle sprains
not usually, b/c they need to work on strength instead of relying on the support of the brace
ottawa ankle rules
- tenderness at lateral/medial malleoli, base of 5th metatarsal or navicular
- inability to walk 4 steps at site of injury or in ER
3 parts of the foot
rearfoot
midfoot
forefoot
there is 1 posterior ___ facet and 2 anterior _____ facets on the superior surface of the calcaneus. this is where the talus articulates
convex
concave
T or F: fractures of the calcaneus are often complex and long-term dysfuction is common
T
supination calcaneal motion and arthrokinematics in the OCK
inversion
PF
adduction
medial roll, lateral glide
what happens in the entire LE w/ supination in the CKC
calcaneus inverts
talus DF
talus abducts
tibia ER
kee ext/varus
femur ER
hip ext
posterior pelvic tilt
ankle inversion ROM is OKC? CKC?

pronation calcaneal motion and arthrokinematics in the OCK
calcaneus everts
talus PF
talus adductus
tibia IR
knee flex/valgus
femur IR
hip flex
anterior pelvic tilt
ankle eversion ROM in OCK? CKC?
