Q

Consequences of severing interosseous ligament

A

1: increased range of motion of subtalar joint especially toward supination
2: instability of subtalar joint
3: disconnect between the calcaneous in the talus resulting in market motion between the tibia and calcaneus

Q

Oblique axis of subtalar joint orientation and explanation of motion of supination and pronation

A

Extremely variable from person-to-person, but average orientation is: superiorly 42° in the sagittal plane relative to the horizontal, and medially 16°

Supination: calcaneus into inversion (frontal), talus into abduction (transverse) and Dorsiflexion (Sagittal)

Pronation: calcaneous into eversion, talus into adduction and plantarflexion

Q

Transverse tarsal joints, ligamentous support, function, midfoot locking

A

Talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joint

Calcaneocuboid joint supported by long planter ligament therefore very little motion

Talonavicular joint highly mobile, Talar dorsiflexion limited by plantar calcaneonavicular ligament a.k.a. spring ligament

Midfoot locking mechanism: when axes of midfoot are parallel increased forefoot motion, when calcaneous is inverted decreased forefoot motion

Q

Muscle control of the medial longitudinal arch

A

Limited force generating abilities of intrinsic and extrinsic muscles may be able to counter the deforming force of triceps surae and body weight because of the bony architecture and ligamentous support in addition to muscles forces

Q

Relationship between proximal and distal lower extremity biomechanics and medial longitudinal

A

Tibial position influences medial longitudinal arch orientation

Proximal Control mechanisms ( hip mm) are likely contributor to femoral and tibial rotation which in turn may influence medial longitudinal arch

Q

Neuromuscular disease and pes cavus foot deformity

A

Often associated with overactivity of tibialis posterior and or tibialis anterior

21
Q

Identification of pes cavus foot deformity

A

One: a high medial arch during weight-bearing
Two: an inverted calcaneous
Three: foot motion testing considered rigid and nonreducible

Positive peekaboo sign

22
Q

Coleman block test

A

After observation of inverted calcaneous place fifth metatarsal head on 2 inch block

If calcaneous remains inverted then subtalar joint is not mobile

If calcaneous inverts then subtalar joint is mobile and there is a pronation deformity in the forefoot

23
Q

Pes cavus foot and orthotic/shoe support

A

The goal is to improve shock absorption or distribute the pressures under the foot even

a systematic review that suggests that custom foot orthotics showed some success in patients with pes cavus foot type

24
Q

Arch height index description and importance

A

Dorsum height measured (50% of foot length) divided by the truncated foot length (measured from posterior aspect of the foot to center of the first MTP joint)

Foot type classification:
High arch = less than 0.21
Normal arch = 0.21–0.26
Lower arch = greater than 0.26

change from the nonweightbearing to weight-bearing was 10 mm or 13.4% of our tight

This is important because recent studies show an association with foot posture and injury pattern and an association of static foot posture and foot mobility

25
Q

Navicular drop test and injury considerations

A

Difference in navicular height is greater than 10 mm is a positive test

is not associated with MTSS or ACL injuries

Is associated with the Patellafemmoral problems and was running injuries

26
Q

Timed top tests used in screening patients with foot and ankle conditions and MDC

A

Figure of eight: MDC 4.59 seconds
Side-HOP: MDC 5.82 seconds
6 m crossover: MDC 1.03 seconds
Square up: MDC 3.88 seconds

table 15 monograph

27
Q

Foot kinematic observations during heel raise test

A

1: heel height
2: knee and trunk position
3: subtalar joint in version and Eversion
4: 1st metatarsal plantarflexion orders you function
5: pressure distribution under the forefoot

28
Q

Hallux limitus definition and consequences

A

Passive hallux dorsiflexion during quiet stance less than 40°

Decreasing range of motion of first metatarsal may result in lateral shift of center of pressure during walking

29
Q

Age of Development of normal foot posture

A

12-13 years

30
Q

Definition of hallux Valgus toe

A

Observed deviation of the hallux from that of the first metatarsal by greater than 15°

31
Q

Hammer toe versus claw toe versus mallet toe

A

Hammertoe: flexion deformity of IP went only one or two toes are involved

Claw toe: includes extension of MTP and flexion of IP. caused by neuromuscular disorder often present in all toes

Mallet toe: flexion of the DIP and can occur in isolation or secondary to hammertoe deformity

32
Q

Recovery phases of high ankle sprain and indications for progression

A

Phase 1: protection
Progress when pain in the DMR controlled and patient walks with minimal gate problems
Phase 2: subacute
Progress when able to jog and hop repetitively without difficulty
Phase 3: sport specific training

33
Q

Risk factors for lateral ankle sprains

A
One – fatigue
Two – static and dynamic balance
Three – ankle strength
Four – coordination
Five – range of motion
34
Q

Ottawa ankle rules

A

1- bone tenderness at the milleolar zone – along the medial and lateral malleoli, Talar neck/head
2- bone tenderness specifically at:
– Posterior edge or tip of lateral malleolus
– Posterior and your tip of medial malleolus
– Base of the fifth metatarsal a
– Navicular
3- inability to bear weight immediately following the injury in during examination

35
Q

Grading of lateral ankle sprain

A

Grade 1: no loss of function, no ligamentous instability (anterior drawer and Talar tilt test), little or no ecchymosis, and point tenderness

Grade 2: some loss of function, decreased motion, a positive anterior drawer, negative Talar to test, Ecchymosis , swelling, point tenderness

Grade 3: nearly total ass of function, a positive anterior drawer and Talar tilt test, diffuse swelling and he Ecchymosis , and extreme point tenderness

36
Q

Clinical prediction rule for joint mobilization and lateral ankle sprain

A

1: symptoms worse with standing
2: symptoms worse in the evening
3: navicular drop of greater than or equal to 5 mm
4: distal tibiofibular hypomobility

Three out of four of the above increased likelihood of six excess to 95%
