Q

What are the 5 events of stance phase

A
  1. Initial contact: moment when foot contacts ground (heel)
  2. Loading response: Weight is transferred to limb
  3. Mid-stance: Body progresses directly over limb
  4. Terminal Stance: Weight is transferred to forefoot and body moves forward
  5. Pre-swing: Limb is unloaded and weight is shifted to opposite extremity (toe-off)

Q

What are the 3 parts of the swing phase

A
  1. Initial-swing: Foot comes off floor and femur begins to advance forward
  2. Mid-swing: Knee begins to extend and foot clears the ground as femur continues to advance
  3. Terminal Swing: Knee begins to extend and foot clears the ground as femur continues to advance

Q

Joint stabilit

A

Ability of joints to move effectively without undue stress or risk of injury that is influenced by ligaments, muscles, tendons and other anatomical structures.

Q

How does wider base of support impact line of gravity

A

Wider base of support may lower line of gravity and increase stability

Q

When the base of support is large….

A

Q

Examples of modifying COG when carry a load

A
17
Q

What factors affect spinal stability (5)

A
18
Q

What are the 3 major contributors to ankle stability

A
  1. Congruity of articular surfaces when joints are loaded
  2. Static ligamentous restraints
  3. Musculotendinous units
19
Q

Ankle sprains occur when

A

rearfoot undergoes excessive inversion/supination on an externally rotated leg

20
Q

Chronic sprains are likely due to (2)

A
  1. Mechanical Instability
  2. Functional instability
21
Q

What are the 3 lateral ankle ligaments that provide stability

A
22
Q

What are 2 tests to measure ankle ligament tears

A
  1. Anterior drawer test: Positive test = laxity compared to other ankle
  2. Talar tilt test: Tilt calcaneus on talocalcaneal joint
    Positive test = pain or increased laxity on either side
    Eversion = deltoid ligament
    Inversion = calcaneal talar ligament
23
Q

Does anterior drawer test have higher specificity or sensitivity and what does it mean

A

High sensitivity, low specificity
-> rule out the disease (high specificity and negative test) -> ADT
-> if positive you don’t know if you have ligament problems and you have to switch to test with high specificity

24
Q

Does talar tilt test have higher specificity or sensitivity and what does it mean

A

High specificity, low sensitivity (talar tilt diagnostic)
-> rule in the test
-> if positive test = has disease

25
Q

What are the movements and planes that occur in pronation

A
26
Q

What are the movements and planes that occur in supination

A
27
Q

Describe the gait cycle in terms of tibial rotation and pronation or supination

A
28
Q

Explain pronation and supination at ankle

A
29
Q

What happens to the talus during pronation - closed chain

A
30
Q

What are the 3 basic mechanisms that make up supination of the foot

A
31
Q

Explain the metatarsal break angle

A
32
Q

Explain the windlass mechanism

A
33
Q

Explain contralateral swing

A
