The Foot Flashcards
1
Q
Three parts of foot
A
- Hindfoot= talus, calcaneus
- Midfoot=navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms
- Forefoot=metatarsals, phalanges
2
Q
7 bones in Tarsus
A
- talus
- calcaneous
- navicular
- cuboid
- cuneiform (medial, intermediate, lateral)
3
Q
Talus
- The body of talus articulate with?
- function of talus
- It’s the only tarsal bone without?
A
- tibia & fibula
- transmit weight of body from tibia to fibula
- without muscle attachments
4
Q
Calcaneus
- distinguisher in the foot as?
- articulate with?
- function
- sustentaculum tali:
A
- largest, strongest bone of the foot
- talus superiorly, cuboid anteriorly
- transmit weight from talus to ground
- “pulley” for flexor hallucis longus
5
Q
- Navicular bone shape & location
- Cuboid shape & location
- cuneiform shape & location
A
- boat-shaped; btw talus & cuniforms
- leystone of lateral longitudinal arch; most lateral bone
- wedge-shaped; transverse arch btw navicular & medial 3 metatarsals
6
Q
- plantarflexion/dorsiflexion at what joint
2. eversion/inversion at what joint
A
- ankle joint
- subtalar joint
- ankle & foot can circumduct
7
Q
- Pronation & supination of foot involves what joints?
2. pronation & supination movements
A
- combinations of movements involve both ankle & subtalar joints
- Pronation
- eversion
- abduction
- dorsiflexion - Supination
- inversion
- adduction
- plantarflexion
8
Q
Metatarsus
- how many bones
- connects what
- description
A
- 5 bones
- connects tarsus and phalanges
- numbered medial to lateral
- head, shaft, base
- 1 is shorter & stouter
- 2 is longest
- 5 has large tuberosity
9
Q
Phalange
- number of bones
- descriptions
A
- 14 bones
- 2 for big toes (hallux)
- 3 for others (proximal, middle, distal)
- each has head, shaft, base
- phalanges of big toe are shorter & stouter
10
Q
Fascia of Foot (3)
Functions (3)
A
Fascia: 1. medial plantar fascia 2. lateral plantar fascia 3. plantar aponeurosis functions 1. holds parts of foot together 2. helps protect the plantar surface of foot from injury 3. helps support the longitudinal arch of foot
11
Q
Plantar aponeurosis
- location
- splits
- septa separates
A
- posteriorly from calcaneus
- splits into 5 bands enclose digital tendons
- vertical septa extend to compartmentalize the sole of the foot
12
Q
foot muscles in the three compartments of the foot
A
- Medial compartment
- abductor hallucis
- flexor hallucis brevis - Central
- flexor digitorum brevis
- flexor digitorum longus
- quadratus plantae
- lumbricals - Lateral
- abductor digiti minimi brevis
- flexor digiti minimi brevis
13
Q
Layers of muscle on sole of foot
- number of layers
- functions
- innervation
A
- 4 muscular layers
- -highly specialized for bipedal locomotion
- maintain arches of foot
- assists with standing on uneven ground
- not used for fine control
- innervated by lateral & medial plantar nerves (branches of tibial n.)
14
Q
- Nerves of the foot
2. supply what
A
- medial & lateral plantar (from tibial n.)
2. supply intrinsic foot muscles except dorsum muscles (deep fibular n.) and also the skin of the foot
15
Q
First layer of the foot
- what three muscles
- what does each muscles covers
- what does each muscles function in
A
- abductor hallucis
- calcaneus to big toe
- abducts & flexes big toe - flexor digitorum brevis
- calcaneus to lateral 4 digits
- flexes lateral 4 digits - abductor digiti minimi
- calcaneus to 5th digit
- abducts & flexes 5th digit
