Q

plantar aponeurosis

A

calcaneal tuberosity > splits distally into 5 parts

-protect from injury
-help hold foot together
-support longitudinal arches of foot so not spread when weight bearing (tensile force)

Q

plantar fasciitis

A

inflamm/pain mainly @ aponeurosis mainly
-do not see WBCs so more irritant than inflam
-standing/walking/running/stairs (dorsiflexed)

pain worse in morning/resting then dissipates 5-10 min later walking

overuse injury usually esp if improper footwear OR chronically tight calves OR obesity OR high arches OR achilles injury

Q

compartments

A
  1. medial- deep to medial plantar fascia
  2. central- deep to aponeurosis
  3. lateral- deep to lateral plantar fascia
  4. interosseous- b/t sole and dorsum, only in forefoot b/t MTs
    -sep from central by horizontal deep plantar fascia

divided by intermuscular septa from aponeurosis

Q

foot infections

A

if deep to plantar fascia then localize w/i single compartment or @CT b/t muscle layers

will spread if get to bloodstream or superficial fascia

Q

plantar muscles function

A

generally stabilize the foot and grip the ground when standing and moving
-stabilize arches when move heel-toe or side-side
-stabilize when pushing off
-adjust pressure

usually no fine motor but is possible

in @ posterior edge FDL together

inn: lateral plantar N
vasc: medial + lateral plantar A

18
Q

quadratus plantae

function

A

assists FDL in flexing II-V:
relaxed = FDL tendons oblique angle
contracts = pulls FDL tendons straight to flex toes

19
Q

lumbricals

function

A
  1. flex II-V at MP joints
  2. extend II-v at PIP and DIP joints
20
Q

lumbricals

A

og @ anterior/medial edge of FDL tendon
in @ medial side flexor sheaths II-V

inn: medial plantar (most med lumb II) + lateral plantar (lat 3 lumb III-V)

vasc: plantar metatarsal A main + lateral plantar A

21
Q

flexor sheaths

A

enclose flexor tendons + bursae @toes

lumbricals insert of medial sides of II-V

22
Q

3rd layer muscles

A
  1. flexor hallucis brevis
  2. adductor hallucis
  3. flexor digiti minimi

all in @ bases of proximal phalanges I or V to move MP joint

prox = articulates with head of a MT

23
Q

flexor hallucis brevis

A

og @ plantar surface of cuboid + lat cuneiform
in @ split both sides of base I proximal phalanx

sesamoid bones w/i tendon

inn: medial plantar N
vasc: 1st plantar MT A main + medial plantar A

24
Q

flexor digiti minimi

A

og @ base MT 5
in @ base V proximal phalanx

inn: superficial branch lateral plantar N
vasc: 10th plantar digital A main + lateral plantar A

25
Q

adductor hallucis

A

og @ oblique (base MT II-IV) + transverse heads (plantar lig of MP joints)

in @ lateral sides base of I proximal phalanx

inn: deep branch lateral plantar N
vasc: medial plantar A + plantar MT A’s

26
Q

4th layer muscle

A

2 extrinsic:
1. fibularis longus (lat compartment)
2. tibialis posterior (deep posterior comp)

2 intrinsic: @ interosseous comp
1. plantar interossei (PAD)
2. dorsal interossei (DAB)

27
Q

plantar interossei

PAD

A

og @ shaft of MT III-V inferomedial
in @ medial base III-V proximal phalanx

adduct + assist flex III-V @ MP joints

inn: lateral plantar N
vasc: dorsal + plantar MT A main + arcuate A

3 PADs

28
Q

dorsal interossei

DAB

vasc: dorsal + plantar MT A + arcuate A

4 DABs

29
Q

tibial N

A

from ant div LSP so plantar flex ankle + toes

> medial calcaneal N proximal (before) tarsal tunnel (cutaneous to skin of heel)

> terminal branches= medial/lateral plantar N distal to tunnel, both enter medial compartment then travel b/t 1st and 2nd layers

30
