Q

Etiology - Pediatrics

Pes Planovalgus

A
  • Toddlers - pronate to learn to walk
  • 6 years - develope long. arch
  • Influences:
    1. shoes
    2. weight
    3. boys
    4. tight achilles

    1. Int. Rotation (tibia)
    2. diabetes
    3. paralysis
    4. obesity
    5. fx (navicular, 1st met, calc.)

Q

Diagnostic Techniques - Tip Toes

Pes Planovalgus

A

looking for hindfoot inversion for correction; indicates a flexible deformity

17
Q

Diagnostic Techniques - Feiss Line

Pes Planovalgus

A

Grade I- Nav. falls 1/3 dist. to floor
Grade II- Nav. falls 2/3 dist. to floor
Grade III- Nav. touches floor

18
Q

Diagnostic Techniques - Long. Arch Angle

Pes Planovalgus

A

One line from nav. to med. mall. and one from nav. to 1st met. head; measure angle between

<150 degrees = pes planus

19
Q

Non-Ox Intervention

Pes Planovalgus

A
  • PT to decrease pain
  • Sx
20
Q

Ox Intervention

Pes Planovalgus

A
  • FO
  • UCBL - medial heel post
  • AFOs (gauntlet or create windows for med. bones)
21
Q

Common Fibular Nerve

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A

Aka Common Peroneal
* branch of sciatic
* innervates DFs
* mononeuropathic

22
Q

Etiology - Direct Causes

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A
  • Damage from knee pressure (not enough turning)
  • Extended Leg crossing
  • Fibular Fx
  • Trauma
  • Tight Cast
  • Sx Injury
23
Q

Etiology - Risk Factors

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A
  • Diabetes
  • Alcohol use
  • CMT
  • low BMI/anorexia nervosa (decreased protection)
24
Q

Clinical Presentation

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A
  • decreased sensation on top of foot and leg
  • foot drop & slap
  • toes catch/drag
  • gait deviations
  • weakness
  • loss of muscle mass
25
Q

Gait Deviations

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A

Steppage, vaulting, circumduction, trunk lean

assist in toe clearance

26
Q

Diagnostic Techniques - Tinel’s

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A

tingling when the dorsum of the foot is tapped; tests for nerve entrapment

27
Q

Diagnostic Technique - EMG

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A

Small needles inserted to measure electrical activity in muscle

28
Q

Diagnostic Techniques - Nerve Conduction and US tests

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A

measure the speed and quality of nerve function

29
Q

Non-Ox intervention

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A
  • Corticosteroid Injections (swelling/pressure)
  • Sx (relieve nerve pressure/tendon transfer/nerve grafting)
  • PT (modalities and stretch PF)
30
Q

Ox intervention

Peroneal Nerve Palsy

A

AFOs
1
FES (functional electrical stimulation) - walkaide or bioness
