Lower Limb 2 Flashcards
Movements of the Knee
Flexion (backwards)
Extension (forwards)
Rotation (slight flexion) - for ‘locking’
*Abduction/adduction restricted by ligaments
Movements of the Ankle
Plantarflexion, dorsiflexion
Movements of the Foot (intertarsal)
Sliding, gliding = inversion, eversion
Movements of the foot (tarsometatarsal)
Sliding, gliding
Movements of the Toes (metatarsophalangeal)
Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
Movements of the toes (interphalangeal)
Flexion, extension
