33
Q

subtalar joint

A

between talus & calcaneus

34
Q

subtalar joint pronation & supination NWB

A

calcaneus moves on fixed talus

35
Q

subtalar pronation & supination WB

A

talus & tibia rotate on more stable calcaneus

36
Q

subtalar joint articulation

A

posterior concave facet of talus articulates with posterior convex facet of calcaneus

37
Q

subtalar joint AOR

A

42º horizontal plane & 16º sagittal plane

38
Q

subtalar pronation

OPEN CHAIN

A

everson & ABduction of calcaneus (DF)

39
Q

subtalar supination

OPEN CHAIN

A

inversion & ADDuction of calcaneus (PF)

40
Q

pes planus

A

flat arch - navicular closer to ground

41
Q

pes cavus

A

high arch

42
Q

no arch

A

navicular touches the ground, tibialis anterior becomes long and weak, need midfoot reconstruction to raise navicular

43
Q

transverse tarsal joint/midtarsal joint

A

Chopart’s joint
Talonavicular joint & calcaneocuboid joint
During WB, pronation & supination of midfoot region allows foot to adapt to uneven sufaces
works with STJ to control most of pronation and supination

44
Q

pronation & supination at TTJ/MTJ

A

occur as navicular spins TNJ as calcaneus held firmly fixed

45
Q

combination of rotations at both STJ and TTJ

A

account for most pronation and supination of the foot

46
Q

3 factors that complicate function of TTJ

A

1 - 2 separate axes of rotation
2 - movement different during WB vs NWB
3 - stabilizing function of the TTJ at midfoot is influenced by the position of the subtalar joint

47
Q

2 AOR on TTJ

A

longitudinal

oblique

48
Q

longitudinal axis

A

primary movement eversion/inversion

49
Q

oblique axis

A

motion a combo of:
DF/AB (pronation)
PF/AD (supination)

50
Q

combining movements of longitudinal and oblique axes

A

TRUE pronation & supination

51
Q

primary concentric pronator

A

fibularis (peroneus) longus

contributes to lowering of medial side of foot & raising of lateral side

52
Q

fibularis (peroneus) longus

A

actions: eversion
Inserts on lateral aspect of medial cuneiform & 1st metatarsal, runs under foot
Keeps 1st ray on ground even when foot supinated
need for balance & proprioceptive input of joint

53
Q

primary concentric supinator

A

tibialis posterior

will initiate spin of navicular & spring ligament around convex head of talus

54
Q

tibialis posterior

A

action: plantarflexion & inversion
Attaches to medial side of foot
eccentric control of pronation

55
Q

plantar fascia primary support

A

medial longitudinal arch

56
Q

active toe extension stretches…

A

central plantar fascia

57
Q

plantar fascia supported by…

A

active muscle force

passive force from elasticity and tensile strength CT and bone shape

58
Q

flat foot is risk for…

A

plantar faciitis

59
Q

just after heel strike (STJ/TTJ)

A

STJ pronates unlocking TTJ so TTJ can adapt to ground for mobility to transfer weight from lateral to medial

60
Q

late stance (SJ/TTJ)

A

STJ supinates locking TTJ creating rigid stable base for push off to propel LE for swing

61
Q

if tibialis posterior weak concentrically

A

NO supination during latter parts of stance phase

62
Q

tibialis tendinitis

A

runners develop from over use, poor footwear, training, or musculoskeletal control

little eccentric control

63
Q

in posterior tibial tendon dysfunction

A

muscles weak - posterior hip muscles, glut med and max, gemelli brothers

muscles short - gastroc, soleus, hammies, TFL, rec fem

64
Q

locking of midfoot PRONATION

A

axes STJ/MTJ PARALLEL

MORE mobility

65
Q

locking of midfoot SUPINATION

A

axes of STJ/MTJ NOT parallel

LESS mobility

66
Q

windlass mechanism

A

when standing, pull big toe up, arch should rise - normal

if not, issue with medial-longitudinal plantar arch systems can cause issues with toe off

67
Q

functions of foot during gait

A

provide stable base of support

allow transverse plane rotation of LE when foot fixed to supporting surface

68
Q

pronation occurs during

A

initial contact - INCREASE FOOT MOBILITY

69
Q

supination occurs during

A

terminal stance - increase FOOT STABILITY

70
Q

rearfoot pronation CLOSED CHAIN

A

internal/medial tibial rotation
talus glides inward (ADD) and downward (PF)
calcaneal EV

medial TFJ compression
during inital contact

71
Q

rearfoot supination CLOSED CHAIN

A

tibial external/lateral rotation
talus glides outward (AB) and upward (PF)
calcaneal IN

lateral TFJ compression
during terminal stance

72
Q

A

eversion

73
Q

A

plantarflexion

inversion

74
Q

altered mobility 1st ray leads to

A

excess rearfoot pronation/supination, development of bunions

75
Q

posture of forefoot relative to rearfoot

A

major source of abnormal foot motion leads to excessive or inadequate rearfoot motion

76
Q

if forefoot moving too much

A

mobilize hypomobile rearfoot

stabilize hypermobile forefoot
