Joints Of The Foot

Question 1

sub talar joint: basic info

Answer 1

• talcalcaneal
• between the calcaneus and talus
• supported by a strong interosseous talocalcaneal joint (along with posterior and anterior ligaments)

Question 2

subtalar joint type and movement

Answer 2

plane synovial

inversion and eversion of the foot

Question 3

tranverse tarsal joint

Answer 3

formed by two foot joints:
navicular part of talocalcaneonavicular
calcaneocuboid

Question 4

talocalcaneonavicular joint type and movement

Answer 4

talonavicular is ball and socket

gliding and rotating movement

Question 5

talocalcaneonavicular joint info

Answer 5

• between the heaad of talus with calcaneus and navicular

- plantar calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament

Question 6

calcaneocuboid type and movement

Answer 6

plane synovial

inversion and eversion of foot, along ith circumduction

Question 7

calcaneocuboid joint info

Answer 7

long plantar ligament,

articulation of the calcaneous and the cuboid

Question 8

major ligaments in the plantar ascept of the foot

Answer 8

plantar calcaneonvavicular (spring) ligament
long plantar ligament
plantar calcaneocuboid (short plantar) ligament

Question 9

plantar calcaneonavicular ligament

Answer 9

• spring ligament
• fills a wedge shaped gap between the sustenacuum tali and posterior navicular
• plays an important role in transfering weight from the talusand maintaing the longitudinal arches of the foot

Question 10

long plantar ligament

Answer 10

• calcaneous to cuboid

- helps main the longitudinal arch

Question 11

plantar calcaneocuboid ligament

Answer 11

• short plantar ligament
• lies deep to long plantar ligament
• runs from calaneus to cubid and helps support the longitudial arch of the foot

Question 12

names of the arches of the foot

Answer 12

medial longitudal arch
lateral longitudal arch
transverse arch

-the intergrity of the bony arch of the foot is maintained by the passve factor and dynamic support

Question 13

medial longitudal arch

Answer 13

• higher, more important
• calcaneus, talus, cavicular, 3 cuneiforms, and 3 metatarssals
• talar head is the key stone of the arch
• tibialis anterior and posterior has attachments on the arch that help to support it

Question 14

lateral longitudal arch

Answer 14

flatter then medial

-contains calcaneus, cuboid, lateral two metatarsals

Question 15

transverse arch

Answer 15

• cuboid, cuneiforms, bases of metatarsals

- mained by fibularis longus and tibialis posterior

Question 16

metatarsophalangel joint

Answer 16

• condyloid synovial
• flexion and extension
• head of the metatarsal with base of promixal phalanges

Question 17

interphalangeal joint

Answer 17

• hinge joint
• flexion and extension
• head of one phalanx with base of one distal to it

Question 18

what is supination of the foot

Answer 18

combination of movement

-plantar flexion, inversion, and adduction
