- Tibialis anterior
- EHL
- Peroneus tertius
What structures are in the deep posterior compartment?
- Tibialis posterior
- Flexor digitorum longus

(Tom, Dick, and A Very Nervous Harry)
What structures are in the superficial posterior compartment?
- Medial and lateral head of the gastroc
- Soleus
- Plantaris
What structures are in the lateral compartment?
- Peroneus brevis
- Peroneus longus
What provides forward motion during running?
Swinging leg and arm
What provides momentum during walking?
Stance leg
What muscles are activated during the swing phase of running?
Rectus femoris and iliopsoas (flex hip –> forward motion)
What muscles prepare the leg for stance phase of running?
Hamstring and glutes
How many float periods exist per stride?
Two
What is the foot contact pattern for most individuals during slow running?
Heel to toe
How does foot contact pattern change as velocity of running increase?
Foot will strike either with forefoot and heel simultaneously, or with forefoot only
What are signs and symptoms of PIN syndrome?
- PIN = pure motor branch –> presents with wrist extension weakness (difficulty opening door, grabbing cup)
- sensory distribution should be intact
What occurs during the windup phase of pitching?
The body rotates so that the hips and shoulders are perpendicular to the target and flexion of the lead hip raises the center of gravity. The shoulder muscles are relatively inactive.
What occurs during the early cocking phase of pitching?
Potential energy is stored without much stress on the shoulder joint.
What occurs during late cocking phase of pitching?
Potential energy is stored to be used during the acceleration phase. Late cocking involves terminal external rotation of the shoulder with eccentric stressing of the internal rotators of shoulder and mild stretching of the anterior capsule. It ends with planting of the lead foot.
What occurs during the acceleration phase of pitching?
Subscapularis internally rotates the shoulder to begin propelling the ball forward.
What occurs during the deceleration/follow through phase of pitching?
Ball is released and leftover energy is dissipated and results in the pitcher in a fielding positions
What causes backpacker’s palsy and how does it present?
- Brachial plexus traction injury
- presents wtih UE numbness, weakness, and atrophy and typically effects upper trunk
