lecture 13 - exam 3 Flashcards
what type of structure is the medial arch?
primary load bearing and shock absorbing
what bones make up the medial longitudinal arch?
calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuneiforms, 3 medial metatarsals
what would happen without the medial arch?
the large/rapid forces of running would exceed physiologic weight bearing capacity of bones
what are the structures that assist load absorbing?
fat pads
sesamoid bones (plantar base of great toe)
plantar fascia attaches to overlying thick dermis (reduce shear forces)
muscular forces required for quiet standing is _______ and is _______ compared with support from _________ tissues
variable
small
connective
what are examples of high level forces needed when stresses on arch?
on tip toes
jumping
running
plantar fascia:
- primary passive support for _____
- ______ connective tissue in superficial and deep layers
- _________ thick
- ______ and _______ collagen rich fibers
- extremely ________
- blends with ______
- arch
- dense
- 2-2.5 mm
- longitudinal and transverse
- strong
- first layer intrinsic muscles
plantar fascia:
central bands into metatarsal heads blend with ____
plantar plates/ligaments of MTP joints
flexor tendon sheath
fascia of toes (plantar surface)
plantar fascia:
extension of the toes stretches the ______ adding ________ to the medial arch
central fibers of the deep fascia
tension
in normal stance, BW goes through ______ and spreads out to _____ and ______ over metatarsal heads and heel
talonavicular joint
fat pads and thick dermis
rearfoot ______ compressive force as forefoot
2x
what is pes planus?
flatfoot
abnormally dropped medial longitudinal arch
what can pes planus be a result of?
joint laxity within midfoot or proximal forefoot and/or combined with overstretched, torn, or weak plantar fascia, spring ligament, or posterior tibialis
what is the result of pes planus?
excessive subtalar pronation (calcaneal eversion or valgus position)
What causes rubbing against the inside of foot wear to create a callus (in someone with pes planus)?
forefoot abduction
depressed talus and navicular
what can you do if someone has a flexible pes planus?
orthosis
foot wear changes
exercises
Subtalar joint drives the ______
the capacity to ______ is essential
foot
repeatedly transform from a rigid lever to a flexible shock absorber structure
gait cycle is mediated via ? (3)
Subtalar
transverse tarsal
medial arch
______ lifts and lowers cyclically throughout the gait cycle:
- during the first 30-35% of cycle the ST joint _______ adding flexibility to the foot
- late stance the arch ________. ______ adds stability to midfoot
medial arch
pronates (everts)
rises sharply; supination
what happens immediately after heel contact?
- ______ in TC joint
- _______ in ST joint
- rapidly _____ and ______ 4-9 deg
- DF
- slightly supinated
- PFs and pronates
what does the calcaneus do in pronation?
tips into eversion/pronation in response to GRF just lateral to midpoint of calcaneus
