absorb forces
provide a stable base of support

26 total

7 total
What are the 7 tarsals in the foot?
Talus
Calcaneus
Navicular
Cuboid
Medial
Intermediate
Lateral Cuneiform

5 metatarsals
What are the 5 metatarsals in the foot?
big toe
tibialis posterior
tibialis posterior
tibialis posterior
fibularis tertius
how many phalanges in the foot?
14
(foot) Interphalangeal joint
connects the phalange of each toe (1-5)
what is apart of the foots interphalangeal joint?
(DIP) Distal Interphalangeal Joint
(PIP) Proximal Interphalangeal Joint
(foot) Metatarsophalangeal Joint
connects each metatarsal to the phalange
(foot) Tarsometatarsal Joint
connects the tarsals to the metatarsals (aka midfoot)
Transverse tarsal joint
consists of 2 joints
What 2 joints does the Transverse tarsal joint consist of
Calcaneocuboid Joint
Talonavicular Joint
- Both form the transverse arch of the foot
Talocalcaneal Joint
this is the subtalar joint of the foot
Ligaments (foot)
connects the bone to bone to form all of the joints in the foot
Arches (foot)
formed by ligamentous and bony arrangements to assist the foot in
supporting the body and absorb the shock of weight bearing
Transverse Arch
shaped by the metatarsal heads and extended across the transverse tarsal bones to form a half dome
Medial Longitudinal Arch
originates along the medial border of the calcaneus and extends forward to the distal head of the first metatarsal
plantar calcaneonavicular ligament
main supporting ligament, acts as a spring, by returning the arch to its normal position after being stretched
Lateral Longitudinal Arch
Lateral aspect of the foot, follows the same pattern as the medial longitudinal arch
What is the lateral longitudinal arch formed by
the calcaneus, cuboid, and 5th metatarsal
plantar fascia
thick white band of fibrous tissue that supports the foot against downward forces
where does the plantar fascia originate from
the medial aspect of the calcaneus
where does the plantar fascia insert at
the distal heads of the metatarsals
nerves (foot)
branched off from the tibial nerve
superficial nerve (foot)
runs anterior and laterally
Deep peroneal nerve (foot)
runs posteriorly
blood supply of the foot
branched off from the peroneal artery
Posterior Tibial artery
dorsal aspect of the foot
anterior tibial artery
plantar aspect of the foot
Medial movements of the foot
Inversion
Supination
lateral movements of the foot
eversion
pronation
toe plantar flexion
toe dorsiflexion
prevention of injury for the foot
- proper footwear
- proper foot hygiene
- stretching
- awareness of playing surfaces (too hard and too soft)
excessive pronation (foot)
fallen arch
excessive supination (foot)
high arch
neutral (foot)
normal arch
high arches is what
pes cavus
fallen arches/flat is what
pes planys
what are some wrapping or taping techniques for the foot
turf toe taping - hyperextension
arch taping - supports the entire plantar aspect of the foot for plantar fasciitis, arch strains and shin splints
what is the function of the knee?
- Provide stability in the weight-bearing
- mobility in locomotion
What does the stability of the knee joint depend primarily on?
the ligaments, the joint capsule, and the muscles that surround it
(Knee bone) Femur includes what
lateral femoral condyle
medial femoral condyle
(Knee bone) Tibia includes what
Tibial tuberosity
Tibial Plateau
(Knee bone) Fibula includes what
Fibular head
Patella is also called what
the knee cap
What are the joints/articulations of the knee
femur and tibia
femur and patella
tibia and fibula
(knee joint) meniscus
fibrocartilage disks shaped like bowls that lie on top of the flat tibial plateau
function - makes the rounded femoral condyle fit better on the flat tibial plateau
increase stability and adds cushion
- medial mensicus
- lateral meniscus
(knee ligament) cruciate ligaments
- prevents femur from moving posteriorly during weight bearing
- stabilizes tibia against excessive internal rotation
- acts as secondary stabilizer when collateral ligaments are injured
- prevents femur from sliding anteriorly (forward)
(knee ligament) collateral ligament
stabilize the knee against valgus/varus (side to side) forces
What ligament is apart of the collateral ligament
MCL and LCL
(MCL) medial collateral ligament
- protect knee from valgus force (force to outside of knee)
- attaches to medial meniscus
(LCL) lateral collateral ligament
- protect knee from varus force (force to inside of knee)
(knee muscle) Quadriceps
form the patellar tendon to extend the knee
What muscle is apart of the quadriceps
rectus femoris
vastus medialis oblique
vastus lateralis
vastus intermedius
(knee muscle) Hamstrings
attach to the back of the tibia to flex the knee
What is muscle is apart of the hamstrings
biceps femoris
semitendinosus
Semimembranosus
(knee muscle) Popliteus
small muscle in the posterior aspect of the knee responsible for terminal knee extension
Nerves for the knee
tibial nerve
common peroneal nerve
blood supply of the knee
popliteal artery
movements of the knee
flexion
extension
internal rotation
external rotation
prevention of knee injury
- physical conditioning
- rehab
- shoe type
- knee braces
knee stress test
used to assess joint stability performed by applying a specific stress to the joining and assessing the amount of motion
