allow foot to adapt to the ground, absorb forces, provide weight bearing surface, assist pronation and supination

89

91
Q

what is the windlass mechanism

A

extension occurs in the metatarphalalngea joint before before toe off. this pulls the plantar fascia and pulls the calcaneus and the metatarsal heads together. this heights the longitudinal arch, forces flexion position and creates a soldi structural support. intrinsic muscles actively contract to provide further stability.

cause increased medial rotation
increases stress on muscles that control pronation
with pronation, the tibia rotates medially, causing knee flexion and valgus positioning
results in femoral adduction and medial rotation with resultant hip flexion

muscular imbalance causing tightening of passive structures
arthritis, pes cavus

95

contact burning, throbbing or aching
tenderness over MTP
limited flex/ex of great toe due to osteoarthritis; foot abnormality, unusually long 1st MTP, forefoot pronation, trauma
