Intro Lower Extremity Foot and Ankle Flashcards
Ankle PF and DF arthros for talus and fib
PF: Talus glides anterior and fib head glides inferior/anterior/IR
DF: talus glides posterior and fib head glides superior/posterior/ER
Talocrural joint AROM
DF, PF
DF: 20
PF: 50
Talocrural joint closed packed, resting, and capsular patter
Closed packed: max DF
Resting: 10 PF with mid between inv/eve
Capsular pattern: PF>DF
Pronation vs supinator tri planar motions
Pronation: DF, ABD, EVE
Supination: PF, ADD, INV
Open chain arthro in subtalar joint supination and pronation for calcaneus
Supination: calcaneus inverts and moves medial
Pronation: calcaneus everts and moves lateral
Close chain arthro subtalar joint for supination and pronation
Tibia
Talus
Calcaneus
Supination: tibial ER, talus DF/ABD, calcaneus inverts
Pronation: tibial IR, talus PF/ADD, calcaneus everts
Subtalar joint arom
Inv
Eve
Inv: 20-30
Eve: 5-10
Subtalar joint closed packed and resting
Closed: supination
Resting: midway between inversion and eversion, 10PF
Supination is a combination of
Supination: Inversion, PF, add
Pronation: eversion, DF, AND
The hind foot during gait cycle
Needs to be able to transition from torque converter in stance phase to rigid lever in toe off (driven by subtalar joint)
Heel strike and calcaneus and midfoot
Calcaneus everts to unlock midtarsal joints
Midfoot unlocks
Toe off and calcaneus and midfoot
Calcaneus inverts to lock midtarsal joints
Midfoot locks
What does subtalar dysfunction lead to and why
Leads to midfoot over pronation and forefoot abduction during toe off because there is no conversion and midtarsal joints stay unlocked
Overpronation and forefoot abduction can lead to
Lateral column compression
Elongation and tension to medial side ankle
Required amount of ankle extension for running and walking
