MSK Conditions (18-25) Flashcards
Why must foot act as shock absorber and as rigid lever?
Shock absorber - to dissipate GRF
Rigid lever to propel body
What is the role of sesamoids bone?
- reduce pressure in WB
- incr mechanical advantage of flexor tendons
- sliding pulley for tendons (decreases friction)
What is function of 1st MT?
main WB support for walking/running
What are the tarsal bones
- calcaneous
- talus
- navicular
- cuboid
- cuneiforms - medial, intermediate, lateral
What is role of arches of foot
- support in WB
- absorb shock
- space for plantar nerves, blood vessels, muscles
- What is main supporting ligament for medial longitudinal arch?
- What does it do
- What muscle supports this ligament
- Plantar Calcaneonavicular Ligament (Spring)
- returns arch to normal position after stretch
- Tib Post
The talus position control ________
calcaneus and navicular
What bones form Lisfranc joint
base of MTs, cuboid, all 3 cuneiforms
What are combined movements of pronation in WB?
PF, Add, Calc Ev
What are combined movements of supination in WB?
DF, Abd, Calc Inv
- What joints make up Choparts Joint (midtarsal)
2. What is directly related to this joint?
- calcaneocuboid and talonavicular
2. Subtalar - if subtalar is pronated, midtarsal is hypermobile. if supinate - midtarsal is hypo
What muscles allow DF?
Tib Ant, EHL, EDL, Peroneus Tertius
What muscles allow PF?
Gastroc, Soleus, Plantaris, Peroneus Longus/Brevis, Tib Post, FDL, FHL
What muscles do Inversion, Adduction, Supination?
Muscles along medial mall
Behind - Tib Post, FDL, FHL
Infront - Tib Ant, EHL
What muscles do Eversion, Abduction, Pronation?
Muscles along lateral mall
Behind - Peronus Longus/Brevis, Peroneus Tertius
Infront - EDL
What is function of extensor retinculum?
Provides pulleys for tendons to maximize pull
- What is nerve supply of foot
2. What is blood supply
- Medial and Lateral Plantar nerves - branch of Tibial Nerve
- Anterior, Posterior Tib Art
What are 5 phases of Gait?
What happens during each phase
- Initial contact - ER Tibia, Sup
- Load response - IR tibia, Pro
- Midstance
- Terminal stance
- Pre Swing/Toe off - ER Tibia, Sup
What are 3 periods of swing phase
Initial Swing
Mid Swing
Terminal Swing
What is Forefoot varus?
What does it cause
Talus PF, Add, Calc Ev
causes deformities associated w/ excessive pronation
What is forefoot valgus?
What does it cause
Talus DF, Abd, Calc Inv
- causes deformities associated w/ excessive supination
Where is anatomical weakness of tibia?
Lower ⅓ of shaft
What movements occur at subtalar joint?
Pronation, supination, Inversion, Eversion
what movements occur at talocrural joint?
DF PF
