Plantar fasciitis is
A common cause of heel pain, especially for joggers; results from inflammation of the plantar aponeurosis at its point of attachment for the calcaneus with pain radiating towards the toes
Plantar aponeurosis
Located just beneath the skin of the sole of the foot and overlaying the superficial layer of intrinsic muscles; a broad flat tendon that stretches form the heel to the toes
PAD
Palmar interossei
ADDuct the fingers
DAB
Dorsal interossei
ABduct the fingers
What is the patella
Triangle shaped sesamoid bone in the tendon of the quadriceps (spec. Rectus femoris)
Base
The flat superior edge of patella
Apex
The more pointed inferior edge of patella
Posterior view of patella includes (3)
Vertical ridge
Medial articular facet
Lateral articular facet
(Facets articulate w/ patellar surface of femur and medial and lateral consumes of the femur depending on where in the range it is)
The knee includes which 2 joints ?
Tibiofemoral
Patellofemoral
Knee consists of 3 articulations :
Lateral condyle of the tibia articulates with the lateral femoral condyle
Medial condyle of the tibia articulates with the medial femoral condyle
Patella articulates with the femur
What type of joint is the tibiofemoral joint?
Synovial
Modified hinge (allows for some rotation)
Biaxial
What are the available movements of the knee (tibiofemoral joint)
Flexion Extension Internal rotation (limited) External rotation (limited) Note: Rotation occurs only when knee is flexed
What type of joint is the patellofemoral joint
Synovial
Plane
Medial and lateral facets of the patella articulate with
The patellar surface of the femur
The patella moves _____ during flexion and ____ & ______ during extension
inferiority during flexion
Superiorly and laterally during extension
The lateral femoral condyle does what to prevent the patella from tracking too far laterally
The lateral femoral condyle projects farther anteriorly than the medial femoral condyle to prevent lateral tracking of the patella
Most patella dislocate in what direction?
Laterally
Valgus presentation
(Go out)
Lateral deviation of the distal bones of a joint
Aka knock knee
Varus presentation
(Return)
Medial deviation of the distal bone of a joint
Aka bow-leg
(LCL) lateral collateral ligament
Attaches what to what and restricts what action?
Attaches the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the fibular head
Checks/restricts varus deviation
