KINES: Ankle and Foot Flashcards
how many bones make up the ankle and foot complex
28 bones
tibia, fibula
talus, calcaneus, cuboid, navicular, 3 cuneiforms
5 MTT, 14 phalanges
how many joints in one extremity
25 joints
aka the forgotten joint
proximal TF joint
type of joint of superior TF joint
plane synovial
significance of superior TF joint to knee pain
malalignments in this joint can lead to chronic knee pain
type of joint of inferior TF joint
syndesmosis - only allows small movement bcs connected by fibrous tissue
what forms the hindfoot
fibula. tibia, talus and calcaneus
what forms the midfoot
tarsal bones
what forms the forefoot
MTT and phalanges
what makes up the talocrural jont
distal tibia and fibula and talar bone
type of joint of talocrural jont
hinge - dflex and pflex
CPP of talocrural jont
full dflex
OPP of talocrural jont
10 deg pflex midway eversion/inversion
what is the ankle mortis
distal tibia and fibula - lateral and medial malleoli
sa talocrural joint toh
proximal aspect of body of talus
trochlea
3 articular surfaces of talus
large lateral facet - fibula
small medial facet tibia
dome - superior facet for tibia
what is the fick’s angle
in normal angle naka toe out bcs of tibial ER
what is the cause of fick’s angle
lateral malleolus is more distal and posterior kaya mapapa ER yung orientation ng tibia
normal value of fick’s angle
12-18 degrees
normal value of fick’s angle in children
5 degrees
assessment for fick’s angle
look at posterior view - dpat 3 toes lng kita
more than 3 = + excessive ER of tibia
what is the talocrural axis
oblique orientation of talocrural joint - kaya 3 planes ang dflex and pflex
value for talocrural axis
14 deg
cause of talocrural axis
kase mas mababa lateral malleoli or tibia kaya oblique if cconnect medial to lateral malleoli
coupled movement of talocrural in non WB
DF w eversion
PF w inversion
coupled movement of talocrural in WB
DF w inversion and IR
PF w eversion and ER
DOF of talocrural joint
DF/PF - 1
what is subtalar joint
betw talus and calcaneus
type joint of subtalar
plane - inversion/eversion - but complex
what makes the subtalar joint complex
large posterior articulation = concave talus and convex calcaneus
small anterior articulation = 2 convex facets of talus and calcaneus
what is the sinus tarsi
houses the proprioceptive center sa lateral subtalar joint - reccuring inversion/eversion injury = diminished proprioceptive ability
what is tarsal canal
on lateral of foot; funnel shaped
large end of sinus tarsi
anterior to lat malleolus
small end of sinus tarsi
below medial malleolus
what is the sustentaculum tali
bony prominence palpable close to smaller end or sinus tarsi - landmark
what makes up the transverse tarsal joint
calcaneocuboid joint and talonavicular joint
function of transverse tarsal joint
S shaped - abd and add of forefoot
