Musculoskeletal Part Five Flashcards
what forms the transverse arch
cuneiform & cuboid bones
what bones form the subtalar joint
talus
calcaneus
what is a trimalleolar fracture
fracture of:
lateral mally
medial mally
inferior tibia
MOI for patellofemoral syndrome
- poor VMO strength
2. ITB/lateral retinaculum tightness
plantar fascia is AKA
plantar aponeurosis
the lateral longitudinal arch is supported by…
the long plantar ligament
what type of joint exists between the distal tibia and fibula
syndesmosis
the spring ligament supports…
the medial arch
what motions comprise close-chained supination
DF
ABD talus
IV calcaneus
in the cervical spine, the foramina of the transverse processes contain…
vertebral arteries
gastrocnemius action
PF
knee flexion
what happens to the talus during plantarflexion
creating what…
it slides anteriorly and disengages from the tib/fib
this creates increased joint mobility and decreases stability
what femoral condyle has a longer surface area
lateral
with dorsiflexion, what direction does the fibula rotate and why
fibula rotates laterally
to accommodate the wider portion of the talus
why do tibial fractures take a long time to heal
it has relatively poor blood supply
where does the fibularis brevis insert
tuberosity of the 5th metatarsal
what does pronation do to the tibia
IR
what three bones make up the talocrural joint
tibia
fibula
talus
the transverse arch is supported by…
the met heads
for central cord injuries, are upper or lower extremities more affected?
upper
