Quiz #1 Flashcards
Function of the foot?
To provide stability
locomotion and balance
Shock absorption
Why does the heel protrude slightly posteriorly ?
to prevent the body’s frame from tipping backwards
What is the purpose of the toes?
Prevent tipping forward
What is the purpose of the arche?
Shock absorption, arches prevent the ground reaction force from being transmitted up through the ankles, knees, hips and lower back
What provides locomotion and balance?
Metatarsophalangeal joints to propel the body forward
T or F
Is the foot a major sensory organ?
T- due to the abundant nerve supply.
What does proximal mean?
closest point of origin

True
T or False

True
T or F
The lateral malleolus is the back of the foot

Tip of toe
Define Gait
Manner of movement on foot
T or F
A normal gait has a definite rhythm, stride and spring
True
T or F
Your gait can not be inherited
True
T or F
Phycological factors can be transmitted to our gait, give an example
True
depression effects posture, effecting our gait
List the steps of a normal gait
Heel is first contact outside border of the foot across the ball of the foot to the great toes "Lift off" then done by the great toe.

modify pressure and to diminish friction

What is the navieular?
resembles a boat, found on the medial side of the foot and proximally to the talus distally to the cuneiform bones
What is the Cuboid
one of the seven tarsal bones. Surfaces are rough for attachments of ligaments
