Q

Pronated MTJ

Calcaneocuboid joint _______

A

Dorsiflexes

  • Ligaments tighten, preventing excessive motion

Supinated MTJ
- Ligaments will also tighten in this position
Bones, however, are not tightly packed
Osseous locking not present

17
Q

Open Kinetic Chain

Contact period of gait

STJ ____allowing shock absorption

A

Pronating

18
Q

Closed Kinetic Chain

Midstance

OA?

A

OA – pronated

Dorsiflexed and abducted

19
Q

Closed Kinetic Chain

Midstance

LA?

A

LA – pronated
Begins to evert in reaction to STJ supination
Helps to “lock” the MTJ to become rigid lever

20
Q

Closed Kinetic Chain

Midstance

STJ?

A

STJ – supinating

In preparation for propulsion

21
Q

Closed Kinetic Chain

Propulsion

OA?

A

OA – Supinated

Windlass mechanism aids in this along with contraction of intrinsics

22
Q

Closed Kinetic Chain

Propulsion

LA?

A

LA – pronated

Locking still present at cc joint

23
Q

Closed Kinetic Chain

Propulsion

STJ?

A

STJ - Supinated

24
Q

_______is a pulley device to lift a heavy object

A

Windlass

  • The metatarsal heads are the pulley mechanism

Q

MTJ ROM is passively controlled by position of the ____

A

STJ

STJ supination causes Decrease in MTJ ROM
STJ pronation causes Increase in MTJ ROM

29
Q

Anterior Tibial muscle ____the longitudinal axis

A

Inverts

- decelerate the foot at heel strike to prevent foot slap

30
Q

Peroneus tertius and extensor digitorum longus _____ the oblique axis

A

Pronate

  • decelerate the foot at heel strike to prevent foot slap
31
Q

Measuring forefoot to rearfoot relationship

A

Prone –> STJ neutral –> Push on 4th and 5th –> Evaluate if plantar heel is parallel with metatarsal head

– Look at powerpoint

32
Q

Forefoot varus greater than calcaneal eversion available

Calcaneus is unable to evert past neutral

A

Uncompensated forefoot varus

33
Q

Forefoot varus greater than calcaneal eversion available
Calcaneus able to evert past neutral but not to same degree of FF varus
Additional compensation gained through oblique axis MTJ, and 1st ray

A

Partially compensated forefoot varus

34
Q

Forefoot varus equal or less than available calcaneal eversion

A

Compensated forefoot varus

35
Q

Forefoot Valgus

Longitudinal axis ______
Subtalar _____
Oblique axis ______
Further Subtalar ______

A

supination

LASOS
–> Long Axis, Sub, Oblique, Further sub

Order of formation

36
Q

if only Longitudinal axis compensation

Heel remains vertical but foot unstable in midstance due to midfoot supination

A

Flexible deformity

37
Q

If STJ or OA compensation needed

Heel will be ______

A

Rigid deformity

Inverted
