tuberosity of navicular and plantar surface od the 1st cuneiform

127
Q

insertion of the plantar component of tibialis posterior

A

2nd, 3rd cuneiforms
cuboid
2nd, 3rd, 4th metatarsal bases

128
Q

insertion of the recurrent portion of tibilais posterior

A

sustentaculum tali

129
Q

FDL

A

from posterior surface to medial surface and then to the plantar surface where it divides to 4 tendons for the lesser digits
each tendon courses through the split in the tendon of FDB in the shaft of a proximal phalanx and then inserts on the plantar surface of the base of the distal phalanx

130
Q

FHL

A

tendon courses from posterior surface to medial surface and then to the plantar surface where it inserts on the plantar surface of the base of the distal phalanx of the hallux

131
Q

Gastroc and soleus

A

form the tendocalcaneous on the posteior surface which inserts into the middle 1/3rd of the posterior surface of the calcaneous

132
Q

plantaris

A

course on the posterior side to insert on the medial side of the middle 1/3rd pf the posterior surface of the calcaneaous

133
Q

Fibularis Brevis

A

course on the lateral surface to insert on the tuberosity of base of the 5th metatarsal

134
Q

Fibularis Longus

A

courses on the lateral surface to the plantar surface where it courses the foot to insert on the lateral side of 1st cuneiform and the base of the 1st metatarsal (1st ray)

135
Q

synovial sheath of tibialis posterior

A

beneath the flexor retinaculum

136
Q

synovial sheath of FDL

A

beneath the flexor retinaculum

each tendon within the flexor sheaths of lesser digits

137
Q

synovial sheath of FHL

A

beneath the flexor retinaculum

and enclosed in a synovial sheath within the flexor sheath of hallux

138
Q

synovial sheath of gastrocnemius and soleus

A

they unite to form a tendo calcaneous which does not course beneath a retinaculum and is not enclosed in a synovial sheath

139
Q

bursa between tendocalcaneous and calcaneous

A

Retrocalcaneal/subtendinous

140
Q

bursa between tendocalcaneous and skin

A

subcutaneous/adventitial

141
Q

synovial sheath of plantaris

A

does not course benath a retinaculum and is not enclosed in a synocial sheath

142
Q

synovial sheath of fibularis longus and brevis

A

both tendons are enclosed in a common synovial sheath as they coarse beneath the superior and inferior fibular retinaculae
The tendon of fibularis longus is also enclosed in a synovial sheath in the fibular sulcus

143
Q

The synovial sheaths have connections to the long and short flexor tendons what are those connection called?

A

vincula tendinum which carry blood vessles to the tendons

144
Q

vincula brevia are locatd

A

near the insertion of tendons

145
Q

vinvula longa are located

A

along the course of the tendons

146
Q

all of the intrinsic muscles function in ———-phase of gait

A

stance

147
Q

biomechanical function of quadratus plantae

A

convert the oblique pull of FDL to a more posterior pull

148
Q

biomechanical function of sesamoid apparatus

A

stablizes the 1st metatarsal head against the ground during propulsion

149
Q

biomechanical function of lumbricals, dorsal interossei and plantar interossei

A

These muscles convert the lesser toes into rigid beams during propulsion. (rigid beam efect)

150
Q

fibularis digiti minimi ( variation)

A

slip from fibularis brevis that inserts inti the 5th toe

151
Q

Extensor hallucis capsularis ( variation(
