PART II Flashcards
how is the foot a mobile adaptor?
adsorbs shock
adapts to underlying surfaces
balances the body
propels forward
MTJ is maximally pronated in both axes
locked and loaded
what kind of forefoot is this?
neutral forefoot
pes plano valgus etiology?
genetic
biomechanical
traumatic
age
two types of flat foot?
rigid
flexible (most common)
how does running differ from walking?
greater forces applied
shorter stance phase
longer swing phase
float phase
open chain vs closed chain?
non weight bearing
weight bearing
non weight bearing exam?
how should the patient be?
body symmetry muscle flexibility joint ROM leg length discrepancy body relationship and appearance evaluate shoes and equipment
*perform standard H/P
sitting down
laying down
functional screening?
single leg stance single leg squat bilateral squat FHB isolation step down test STAR excursion test swing test
femoral antetorsion
femoral anteversion
squinty knee
components of what exam?
femur exam
what is this motion?
an inward twisting of the thigh bone (called the femur—the bone located between the hip and the knee). The condition causes your child’s knees and feet to turn inward and have a “pigeon-toed” appearance.
femoral anteversion
what is this motion?
Relates to the femoral neck’s angular orientation to a line that connects the femoral condyles. As such it
describes a bony or structural twisting or torsion of the femoral shaft. (Rothbart, 1972)
femoral antetorsion
what is this angle?
the angle formed by a line drawn from the ASIS to the center of the patella
second line is drawn from center of patella to tibial tubercle
the angle formed is called?
the Q angle of the knee
what is this exam?
quadriceps exam patella tendon exam knee cap tracking varus/valgus stress test mcmurray test posterior drawer test anterior drawer test genu valgum genu varum
knee exam
- genu varum
- genu algum
- patellae exam
what is this exam?
anatomic leg length functional leg length tibial torsion medial malleolar torsion tibial varum
lower leg exam
an inward twisting of the shin bones (the bones that are located between the knee and the
ankle). This is called?
*causes your child’s feet to turn inward, or have
what is also known as a “pigeon-toed”
appearance. It is typically seen among
toddlers.
