What happens when someone has a forefoot varus deformity?

A
  • tarsometatarsal
  • intermetatarsal
  • metatarsophalangeal
  • interphalangeal
125
Q

tibio fibular joint

A
  • fibrous syndesmosis

- - mm of spread can occur here with DF. a superior glide of fibula with DF

126
Q

open pack for tibio fibular joint

A

plantar flexion

127
Q

closed pack for tibiofibular joint

A

max DF

128
Q

Capsular pattern for tiobiofibular joint

A

Pain on stress

129
Q

talocrural joint

A

-uniaxial, modified hinge, synovial joint
-talus is wider ant than post
-

130
Q

what does a loss of talocrural DF cause in the joints around it?

A

laxity in the midfoot and forefoot, more pronation in the midfoot

131
Q

talocrural ROM

A

DF deg

PF deg

132
Q

talocrural open pack

A

deg PF mid way between max inversion and eversion

133
Q

talocrural Close pack

A

full DF

134
Q

talocrural capsular pattern

A

Plantar flexion, then DF

135
Q

subtalar joint axis

A
  • axis inclines 42 deg up and 16 deg medially
136
Q

subtalar joint

A
  • motion is restricted by the different facets
  • resulting in triplanar motion around 1 axis
  • primarily supination and pronation
  • these motions DO NOT occur independently
137
Q

NWB supination…

A

calcaneus and foot move around talus

-calcaneal add, inversion an dPF

138
Q

NWB pronation

A

calcaneus and foot move around talus

-calcaneal abd, eversion, DF

139
Q

WB supination

A
  • calcaneal inversion
  • talar abd
  • tal df
  • tibiofibular lateral rotation
140
Q

WB pronation

A
  • calcaneal eversion
  • talar adduction
  • talar PF
  • tibiofibular medial rotation
141
Q

what happened if the hind foot is very everted and never inverts?

A
  • excessive pronation. foot is always too soft
  • this stresses the post tib, plantar fascia, tibial nerve, peroneus longus
  • deeper heel cup helps control a calcaneal eversion
142
Q

talocalcaneonavicular joint

A
  • formed by the large convex head of tehtalus-received by concavity on navicular
  • talus acts as a ball bearing B/w the mortise and the calcaneus and navicular
