Describe the active subsystem of the Plantar intrinsic foot muscles

A

control the rate & extent of deformation of the arch

local stabilisers provide a stable base for the large extrinsic muscles,
with greater PCSA & moment arms, to produce gross motion or to resist large external moments during late stance & push-off phases

56

A

Plantar fascia

Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (spring ligament)

Plantar calcaneocuboid (short plantar) ligament

Long plantar ligament

57

65
Q

Compare and contrast the bone & joint structure and function of the ankle and the wrist.

A

Ankle is a synovial hinge joint; wrist is a synovial ellipsoid joint

In the ankle, 1 tarsal bone (talus) articulates with both long bones of the leg (tibia + fibula); in the wrist, 2 carpal bones (scaphoid + lunate) articulate with one long bone of the arm (distal radius)

66
Q

Compare and contrast the bone and joint structure and function of the foot and hand.

A

Metatarsals are larger than Metacarpals as they need to be able to support the body’s weight

There are 8 carpal bones in the hand but 7 tarsal bones in the foot.

The intertarsal joints compose of various articulations with different joint classifications:
Calcaneocuboid- Synovial saddle
Cubonavicular- Fibrous syndesmosis
Cuneonavicular- Synovial plane
whereas the intercarpal joints are synovial plane joints

Phalanges in hands are longer than phalanges in feet = length of fingers assists in dexterity and fine control for interaction with the environment, feet have weight-bearing role

1st CMC is a synovial saddle joint + pollex is out of plane to the other digits = allowing opposition of thumb against other digits; in feet, 1st TMT is a synovial gliding joint + in the same plane as other digits = less mobile, weight-bearing role

67
Q

What are the joints in the foot?

A 
Distal tibiofibular
Talocrural Joint
Subtalar joint
TCN joint
Calcaneocuboid
DIT
TMT
MTP
IP
68
Q

What is the classification of the TCN joint?

A

‘Constrained ball and socket’

69
Q

What ligaments support the TCN joint?

A

Dorsal Calcaneonavicular ligament

Spring ligament

70
Q

Describe the Dynamic Foot control

A

During gait the foot moves between the supinated & pronated positions and the arches of the foot must be controlled. Dynamic foot control relies on the interaction between multiple active and passive structures.

Passive support is obtained from the:
o Plantar fascia
o Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (spring ligament)
o Plantar calcaneocuboid (short plantar) ligament
o Long plantar ligament

Active support is obtained from the extrinsic and plantar intrinsic foot muscles. If the support obtained from the passive structures is insufficient, excessive activity may be required from the muscles which may result in injury. Alternatively, if weakness or fatigue occurs in the muscles, increased load will be placed on the passive system.
