PATHOLOGIES Flashcards
toe-in gait
internal femoral torsion
internal femoral position
toe-out gait
external femoral torsion
external femoral position
what is this toe-in gait type?
underdevelopment of the external torsion of the femur
internal femoral torsion
what is this toe-in gait type?
femur internally rotates farther than normal (>50 degrees of internal rotation)
internal femoral position
what is this toe-out gait?
overdevelopment of external torsion (past 20 degree of torsion that is normal)
external femoral torsion
what is this toe-out gait?
underdevelopment of normal positional change (full 50 degrees of internal femoral rotation does not occur)
external femoral position
affect of torsion?
abrupt end range of motion
affect of position?
soft end range of motion
what does metatarsus adductus result in?
in-toe gait
patients will abnormally pronate the STJ as a compensation causing abduction of the forefoot on the rearfoot
on some rare cases STJ may supinate as compensation
