which ligament, if torn, will need surgery for sure

A

calcaneofibular lig

29
Q

most common ankle sprain lig

A

normal rom of dorsiflexion

A

10-20 degrees

32
Q

where does the tri-plane axis of the ankle run

A

beneath the distal tips of malleoli

33

normal range for plantar flexion

A

20-50 degrees

34
Q

what are the 4 functional phases of the stance phase of walking

A

contact, midstance, early terminal, late terminal

35
Q

contact phase

A

initial contact of heel of support limb to toe-off of opposite limb

36
Q

midstance phase

A

period from opposite side toe-off to heel-off of support limb

37
Q

early terminal phase

A

from heel-off of support limb to floor contact of opposite (swing) limb

38
Q

late terminal stance

A

period from opposite side heel contact to toe-off of support limb

39
Q

what is the body’s U joint

A

talocrural

40
Q

the ankle joint is the point of motion transfer meaning

A

transverse plane motion of the lower extremity is converted into frontal plane motion of the foot

41
Q

what motion during initial contact of foot

A

pronation, internal tibial rotation

42
Q

during rearfoot pronation what happens to calcaneus

A

eversion

43
Q

during terminal stance what happens to calcaneus

A

inversion

44
Q

what are the most stable metatarsals

A

2nd and 3rd

45
Q

most mobile metatarsals

A

1st and 5th

46
Q

a lot of mobility in 1st metatarsal

A

march fracture

47
Q

you would be walking on the side of your foot if the midfoot did not

A

have opposite rotation with respect to the rearfoot

48
Q

windless mechanism

A

lift toe and arch rises

49
Q

what stabilizes 1st metatarsal during terminal stance

A

fibularis longus

50
Q

With posterior pelvic movement what happens to the leg and ankle

A

leg- externally rotate

ankle - supination

51
Q

with anterior pelvic movement what happens to the leg and ankle
