MS- tib/fib joint (prox and distal), ankle and foot Flashcards
superior tib/ fib joint type of joint movements degrees of freedom => direction of movements articular surfaces (arthrokinematics) nerve supply
- arthrodial/ plane synovial joint
- movements: gliding (sliding)
- 2 degrees of freedom => caudal/cephalad and dorsal/ventral
- concave fib moving on convex tib => same motion
- nerve supply: common peroneal nerve
superior tib/fib joint
resting position
closed pack position
capsular pattern
resting position: 25 knee flex & 10 PF
closed pack position: none known
capsular pattern: none known
superior tib/fib joint
function/purpose
does this help increase ROM?
- serve the ankle, considered closed chain unit
2. joints don’t increase ROM but if limited they will decrease ROM
ligaments of superior tib/fib joints (3)
+ 1 muscle
+ primary stabilizer
- anterior and (2) posterior superior tibiofibular ligaments
both reinforce the capsule
both ligamentsrun oblique superiormedial from fib head -> lateral femoal condyle
(anterior is made up of 2-3 bands) - interossous membrane
- popliteus muscle reinforces posterior capsule
- primary stabilizer are ligaments of inferior tib/fib jt
LAB: sup tib/fib jt anterior glide pt position stabilize mobilize (w/ what) indication
- pt prone, knee flexed 25, ankle on pillow at 10PF
- stabilize- tib
- mobilize- head of fib with heel of hand
- increase splaying in DF
LAB: sup tib/fib jt posterior glide pt position stabilize mobilize (w/ what) indication
- pt. supine, knee flexed, foot on bed
- stabilize foot by sitting on it
- mobilize- head of fib with heel of hand
- increase PF
inferior tib/fib jt type of joint movements degrees of freedom => direction of movements articular surfaces (arthrokinematics) nerve supply
- syndesmosis = fibrocartilaginous, about 1mm hyaline cartilage covers inf joint
- 2 degrees of freedom => 4 possible movements
dorsal/ ventral glide
caudal/ cephalad glide
medial/ lateral splay (during DF)
lat rotation around fibula - articular surfaces- convex fibb moving on concave tib => opposite motions
- nerve supply- deep peroneal and tibial nerve
inferior tib/fib joint
resting position
closed pack position
capsular pattern
resting position- 10PF midway btwn eversion/inversion
closed pack position - none b/c syndesmosis joint
capsular pattern- none b/c syndesmosis joint
inferior tib/fib joint what happens to fib during PF? (3)
adducts
IR
glides anteriorly
inferior tib/fib joint what happens to fib during DF? (3)
abduct
ER
glide posterior
ligaments of inf tf joint (5)
and their purposes
- crural tibiofibular interosseous ligament
strong/thick oblique fibers which serve as axis of motion for fib
gives stability at inf jt, movement at sup jt. - ant (3) posterior tibiofibular ligaments (so strong bone will break before these tear)
ant- limits post glide
post- limits ant glide
b/c these are a little oblique - inferior transverse ligament
- interosseous membrane
holds shafts of bones together
clinical relevance of tib/fib joints
falling
joint health
- falling on mortice (side of foot) will fracture fib or tear ankle collateral lig before injure tf ligs
- prox tf is dependent on distal tf for motion so they both must have adequate mobility because hyaline cartilage nourishment is dependent on movements
LAB: inf tib/fib jt ant glide pt position stabilize mobilize (w/ what) indication
pt: prone (or side-ly) with leg on wedge and foot in 10PF
stabilize: med tibia
mobilize: heel of hand mobilize posterior lateral malleolus
indication: PF
LAB: inf tib/fib jt posterior glide pt position stabilize mobilize (w/ what) indication
pt: supine (or side-ly) with leg over edge of table
stabilize: med tibia
mobilize: heel of hand mobilize anterior lateral malleolus
indication: DF
LAB: inf tib/fib jt cranial glide pt position stabilize mobilize (w/ what) indication how to turn this into treament
pt: side-ly (or supine) with medial leg on plinth
stabilize: foot or distal leg against table
mobilize: heel of hand mobilize inferior lateral malleolus
indication: DF
with exersion => treatment
LAB: inf tib/fib jt caudal glide pt position stabilize mobilize (w/ what) indication how to turn this into treament
pt: side-ly (or supine) with medial leg on plinth
stabilize: foot or distal leg against table
mobilize: heel of hand mobilize inferior lateral malleolus
indication: PF
with inversion => treatment
subtalar joint fibular movement
pronation
supination
- pronation => slides proximal and ant
2. supination => distal and posterior
transmalleolar axis stresses type of axis bones that comprise the axis angle of inclination, what it is and why
transmalleolar axis
- subject to varus stress and compressive loading
- oblique axis
- joint axis goes btwn med/lateral mall thru talus
- angle of inclination is 15 deg ER (toe out) because fibular head extends further distally (and is smaller)
ankle and foot injury
%
things it can affect (2)
- 80% of pop has problem
2. can affect: gait and stresses on other joints => further pathology
stability demands on ankle/foot complex (4)
- provide stable base for the body
- adapt to variety of postures and positions
- avoid excess muscular activity/ energy expenditure
- act as rigid lever for effective push off during gait
mobility demands on ankle/foot complex (3)
- dampen rotations imposed by prox joints (tib/fib)
- be flexible to absorb shock of bw as foot hits floor
- allow foot to conform to changing terrains
4 types of force acting on ankle/foot
- compression: during heel plant-> mid stance
- shearing: during transitions in gait
- rotation: of tib/fib
- tension: from ligaments/ tendons and muscles
planes of ankle movement
x
y
z (two names for movements)
- x = DF/PF around saggital plane
- y= ad/aB around transverse plane
- z= inversion/eversion (or talar tilt) around frontal plane
pronation of ankle in non-WB
3 cardinal plane movements
pronation and supination are considered movement around axis that lies in an angle to the cardinal planes
movements that comprise pronation:
DF
eversion
abduction
supination of ankle in non-WB
3 cardinal plane movements
pronation and supination are considered movement around axis that lies in an angle to the cardinal planes
movements that comprise supination:
PF
inversion
adduction
pronation of ankle in closed chain (WB)
4 movements
calcaneal eversion
talus aDduction
PF
IR of tibia
supination of ankle in close chain (WB)

ankle varus and valgus
calcaneal valgus - increase in medial angle
calcaneal varus - decrease in medial angle
3 sections of the foot and joints involved
hindfoot
