rearfoot Flashcards
what joints allow the ankle mortise adjustable
proximal and distal tibiofibular
motion of proximal tibiofibular joint
superior/inferior + rotation
distal tibiofibular joint fact
not synovial,
fibrous union between convex facet of fibula, concave facet of tibia
how much weight goes through fibula
only 10%
3 facets of ankle mortise joint talar surface
lateral facet (LARGE), medial facet (small), trochlear (superior) facet
superior facet of ankle mortise has a groove, what does this groove do?
dictates the axis of rotation for subtalar joint
its rotated 20-30 degrees in transverse plane – when ankle dorsiflexed, the foot externally rotates
weakest ankle ligament
ATFL
whats the function of retinacula to ankle
helps stabilize ankle mortise joint
ankle dorsiflexion rom? restircted by?
20 degs, restricted by soleus + gastrocs
plantar flexion range + resitrcted by?
30-50 degs, tib ant, EDL, EHL
muscular limitation of inverseion
fibularis longus + brevis
muscular limitation of eversion
tib post, FDL, FHL
conclusion of matusaka weird ankle tape study
postural sway improved 2 weeks earlier in group that had taping in addition to ankle disk
two functions of the foot
stability and mobility
pronation and supination occur at two sets of joints
pronation and supination occur at two sets of joints
