Module 3: LE Part 1 Flashcards
forces on feet while walking
1-3 times bodyweight
forces on feet while running
3-5 times bodyweight
forces on feet while jumping
5-7 times (some say 7-11 times)
how to increase joint shock absoprtion
increase surface area of mass of striking object and increase time to bottom out
joint glide up and down is slowed by
eccentric contraction of posterior tibialis
amount of energy absorbed before fracture
impact strength
windlass effect is responsible for
supination of foot and external rotation of contact leg
involuntary effect that normally raises the longitudinal tarsal arch as foot moves up and over the toes
windlass effect
windlass effect externally rotates
tibia and femur
raising the big toe on patient makes
whole limb externally rotate and arch of foot to raise in supination
functional hallux limitus aka
limited dorsiflexion/limited windlass effect
dorsiflexion great toe without load normal angle
70-90 degrees
weight bearing great toe dorsiflexion
35 degrees
what makes up the midtarsal joint
calcaneocuboid and talonavicular
what causes plantar fascitis
arch does not raise and joints dont glide, then toes bend and tighten
80% of plantar fascia originates on
medial tubercle
pronation occurs as
leg and body move over the foot
two bones that initiate pronation
talus and calcaneous
what does the talar head do during pronation
moves medially from a vertical position over head of the calcaneus, to a position horizontal to the head of the calcaneus
average angle of talar motion is
45 degrees
pronation of foot causes
medial rotation of tibia and femur, pelvis rocked forward, and spine to lean to that side
supination begins
as heel raises from the ground
what starts the windlass effect
leg and body forward motion
how does the talar head move compared to the calcaneal head
superior and vertical
primary shock absorber of the body
foot pronation
shock is absorbed by what kind of pronation
rapid
shock is absorbed by eccentric contraction of post tib slowing lowering of longitudinal arch
normal step
secondary shock absorber of the body
knee
popliteus flexes knee its first
15 degrees from full extension
nerve root of popliteus is
L5
