Lower Extremity Flashcards
dorsiflexion is the same as foot [pronation / supination] and plantarflexion is the same as foot [pronation / supination]
dorsiflexion - pronation
plantarflexion - supination
foot pronation is associated with a
- [plantarflexed / dorsiflexed] foot
- [inverted / everted] foot
- [abducted / adducted] foot
- [anterior / posterior] talus
- [internally rotated / externally rotated] tibia
- [anterior / posterior] fibular head
- dorsiflex
- everted
- abducted
- posterior palus
- externally rotated
- anterior fibular head
foot supination is associated with a
- [plantarflexed / dorsiflexed] foot
- [inverted / everted] foot
- [abducted / adducted] foot
- [anterior / posterior] talus
- [internally rotated / externally rotated] tibia
- [anterior / posterior] fibular head
- plantarflexed
- inverted
- adducted
- anterior talus
- internally rotated tibia
- posterior fibular head
dorsiflexion, i.e. foot [pronation / supination] is associated with a [] distal fibula and thus a [] fibular head
pronation
posterior
anterior fibular head
plantar flexion, i.e. foot [pronation / supination] is associated with a [] distal fibula and thus a [] fibular head
supination
anterior
posterior fibular head
describe the findings of a pronated foot
dorsiflexed, everted, abducted
describe the findings of a supinated foot
plantarflexed, inverterted, adducted
the talus of a pronated foot is […] while the talus of a supinated foot is […]
posterior
anterior
if the diagnosis is an anterior fibular head, you’ll position the patient in the restrictive barrier of […]
supination
(plantarflexion)
if the diagnosis is an posterior fibular head, you’ll position the patient in the restrictive barrier of […]
pronation
(dorsiflexion)
what are the arches of the foot?
- transverse
- medial
- lateral
what bones form all three foot arches?
- navicular
- cuneform
- cuboid
what bones form the transverse foot arch?
- navicular
- cuboid
- cuniform
which bones form the medial arch of the foot?
- navicular
- cuboid
- cuneform
- metatarsals 1-3
- talus
wich bones form the lateral arch of the foot?
- navicular
- cuboid
- cuneform
- metatarsals 4-5
- calcaneus
lateral ankle tendpoint - counterstrain position
foot eversion
medial ankle tenderpoint - counterstrain position
foot inversion
what is the spencer technique for the hip?
FECT-IE-Ab-Ad
- flex
- extent
- compression w/ curbumduction
- compression w/ traction
- int rotation
- ext rotation
- abduction
- abduction
“being perFECT Isnt Easy”
piriformis - origin, insertion
- origin: posterior sacrum
- insertion: greater trochanter of femur
piriformis - action
external rotation of LE
a hypertonic piriformis will result in […]
external rotation of the lower extremity
piriformis tenderpoint - counterstrain position
FABER - like FABER test, which is + for piriformis dysfunction
- flex
- abduct
- externally rotate
glutes tenderpoint - counterstrain position
- external rotation
- extension
- abduction
psoas tenderpoint - counterstrain position
- FLEX
- externally rotate
- sidebend toward dysfunction
illiacus tenderpoint - counterstrain position
- FLEX
- externally rotate
- abduct
illopsoasis tenderpoint locations
- illiacus - 1/3 between ASIS and umbilicus
- psoas - 2/3 between ASIS and umbilicus
medial collateral ligament tenderpoint - counterstrain position
- flex
- adduct
- internally rotate
medial meniscus tenderpoint - counterstrain position
- flex
- adduct
- internally rotate
lateral collateral ligament tenderpoint - counterstrain position
- flex
- abduct
- externally rotate
lateral meniscus tenderpoint - counterstrain position
- flex
- abduct
- externally rotate
ACL tenderpoint - counterstrain position
pillow under femur + push tibia posteriorly
PCL tenderpoint - counterstrain position
pillow under tibia + push femur posteriorly
the MCL, MM, LCL and LM counterstrain positions all involve […]?
how are they different
flexion
- MCL, MM - adduction + internal rotation
- LCL, LM - abduction + external rotation
the innominates are diagnosed with the [seated / standing] flexion test and the sacrum is diagnosed with the [seated / standing] flexion test
standing
seated
when diagnosing the innominate, what are the two ways to determine the side of dysfunction and the positive findings of each
- standing flexion test - whichever PSIS moves first, farthest, or fastest
- ASIS - whichever one has a hard end-feel
anterior innominate
- ASIS is […]
- PSIS is […]
- leg is […]
- d/t hypertonic […]
- tx with ME to the […]
- inferior
- superior
- long
- quads
- hamstring
posterior innominate
- ASIS is […]
- PSIS is […]
- leg is […]
- d/t hypertonic […]
- tx with ME to the […]
- superior
- inferior
- short
- hamstring
- quad
which innominate dysfunctions can result in a short leg on that side?
- posterior rotation
- upshear
psoas muscle - action
marked hip flexion + slight ER
a hypertonic psoas resuls in […]
contalateral pelvic tilt
pt with a pelvic shift to the right has a hypertonic left psoas
psoas - origin, insertion
- origin: TPs of T12-L5
- insertion: lesser trochanter
