Pes planus Flashcards
Kite’s angle
15-35
Transverse plane
Bisect talus and calcaneus AP view
Cuboid abduction
0-5
Transverse plane
Lateral border of cuboid and calcaneus AP view
Talar head uncoverage
0-30%
Transverse plane
Amount of talar cartilage uncovered by navicular bone
Meary’s angle
0-10
Sagittal plane
Bisect talar head and 1st met Lateral view
Calcaneal inclination
18-20ish
Sagittal plane
Inferior border of calcaneus and the ground lateral view
Talar declination
18-20ish
Sagittal plane
Bisection of head of the talus and the ground lateral view
Cyma line
Curved line that connects the TN and the CC joints on the lateral view. This line should be continuous
STJ angles
42 from transverse
16 from sagittal
STJ ROM
Mostly equal amounts inversion/eversion and abduction/adduction
MTJ oblique
52 from transverse
57 from sagittal
MTJ Longitudinal
15 from transverse
9 from sagittal
MTJ ROM
Oblique axis is mostly pronation/supination
Longitudinal axis is mostly inversion/eversion
Heel rise test
Patient stands on tip toes and the valgus heel should invert
Hubscher maneuver
Dorsiflexion of the hallux should cause the arch to rise
RCSP and NCSP
Measures bisection of the heel as compared to the ground when standing relaxed and neutral STJ, respectively
Tibial influence
Measures bisection of the tibia as compared to the floor with patient standing
