Foot & Ankle Flashcards
The healthy foot offers stability for both _____ and ______.
loading; propulsion
The healthy foot provides ________ input that helps to coordinate movement (feedback for feedforward)
somatosensory
_______ or _____ movement = muscle activity that allows for stability of one part and mobility of another
dissociated/ selective
_______ producing _______ = somatosensory feedback to SC and CNS that produced feedforward response resulting in appropriate muscle activity
feedback; feedforward
What type of joint is distal tip-fib?
syndesmosis
What is the most stable position of the foot?
full DF
Medial bones of foot?
talus, navicular, cuneiforms, first 3 MT’s and corresponding phalanges
Lateral bones of foot?
calcaneus, cuboid, lateral 2 MT’s and corresponding phalanges
What are the 3 cuneiforms shaped as? Why?
an arch; putting pressure through the keystone increases the stability
What are the two ligaments on the lateral side of the foot that provide a lot of stability?
short and long plantar ligaments
When heel striking, where do you want your COM to be? Why?
slightly lateral; due to strong short and long plantar ligaments and bc calcaneo-cuboid joint is very stable
What type of joint is the calcaneocuboid ?
modified seller
_____ ______ = very important in providing support for foot when toes are in extension
plantar fasciitis
The muscular stability from the front of the leg for the foot is quite _______ oriented, whereas the muscular support from the back of the leg is quite _______
vertically; rotary
Why is having muscles providing support in a rotary orientation beneficial?
Provides support in multiplanar directions
As you heel strike and your COM moves forward, the lateral side of the foot provides _______ whereas the medial side of the foot provides ______
stability; mobility
As you push off and the COM moves towards your big toe, the medial side will move to (close packed/loose packed) position, and lateral side of foot will move to (close packed/loose packed) position
close packed; loose packed
Average walking speed? Average strikes per minute?
3.6- 4.5 km/hr; 60
5 phases of gait?
- initial contact
- loading response
- midstance
- terminal stance
- swing
At IC, GRF is through the ______ ______
posterior calcaneus
At IC, the subtalar joint is i the ________ position
supinated
Muscle activity at IC?
- tib ant
- EDL
- EHL
During LR, ankle begins to ____ to allow toes to come to ground
PF
During LR, subtalar joint begins _______ to come out of supinated position
pronating
