Leg and ankle Flashcards
3 functions of lower leg, ankle and foot
Impact absorption and Adaptation to uneven surfaces
Propulsion: act like a flexible lever
Support: act like a rigid structure that holds up the entire body
medial ligament of the feet
tibiocalcaneus, tibionavicular, plantar calcanei-navicular, anterior tibionavicular, post tibiotalar,
lateral ligament of the feet
post talofibular, ant talofibular, calcaneofibular, interosseao talocalcaneao, dorsal calcaneocuboid
posterior ligament of the feet
post tibiofibular, posterior talofibular, deltoid ligament
anterior ligament of the feet
dorsal talonavicular, dorsal talar lig, bifurcate lig
what are the 3 joints of the hind foot + leg + mvt and ligament involve
Tibiofibular joint -> Ant and post tib-fib
Talocrural joint -> DF and PF
med\lat lig
Subtalar joint (Talocalcanean) -> Gliding\rotation
tibiofibular joint : resting position, closed pack position and capsular pattern
Resting position:Plantar flexion
Close packed position: max dorsiflexion
capsular pattern: pain when joint is stressed packed position:
talocrural ankle joint: resting position, closed pack positon, capsular pattern
Resting position: 10 plantar flexion, midway between inversion and eversion
Close packed position: Maximum dorsiflexion
capsular pattern: plantar flexion, dorsiflexion
subtalar joint: resting position, closed pack positon, capsular pattern
resting position: midway between extreme ROM
closed packed position: supination
caspular pattern: limited ROM valgus and varus
joint of mid foot
Talocalcaneonavicular
Cuneonavicular
Cuboideonavicular
Intercuneiform
Cuneocuboid
Calcaneocuboid
fonction of mid foot joint
All the joints work together to allow the foot to adapt to many positions, but individually, each joint has limited movement.
midtarsal joint: resting position, closed packed position, capsular pattern
resting position: Midway between extremes of range of motion (ROM)
Close packed position: Supination
Capsular pattern: Dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, adduction medial rotation
Forefoot joint
tarsometatarsal (lisfranc joint) , intermetatarsal, metatarsophalangeal
what is the first symptom someone with a lisfranc injury have ?
can’t do plantar flexion while weightbaring (calf raise)
what is the name of the injury occurring at the tarsometatarsal joint
lisfranc
tarsometatarsal joint: resting position, closed packed position, capsular pattern
RP: midway between extremest ROM
CPP: supination
CP: none
metatarsophalangeal joint: resting position, closed packed position, capsular pattern
RP: 10 extension
CPP: full extension
CP: big toe extension, flexion and second to fifth toe variable
interphalangeal joint:resting position, closed packed position, capsular pattern
RP: slight flexion
CPP: full extension
CP: flexion, extension
interphalangeal joint:resting position, closed packed position, capsular pattern
RP: slight flexion
CPP: full extension
CP: flexion, extension
what do we need to observe when assessing a foot injury (during walking)
open chain -> swing phase look to see if talus is fixed
closed chain -> stance phase look to see if talus adapt
what do we need to observe when assessing a foot injury (during walking)
open chain -> swing phase look to see if talus is fixed
closed chain -> stance phase look to see if talus adapt
how munch weight is taking by the heel when normally standing and how munch by the metatarsal head
50 to 60 and 40 to 60
