23
Q

What are the two joints of the midtarsals?

A

Calcaneocuboid and Talonavicular

24
Q

What does the aligment of the axes of these two joints affect?

A

Mobility of the midfoot

25
Q

What does the midtaral joints contribute to?

A

Inversion/Eversion
Abduction/Adduction
Dorsflexion/ Plantarflexion

26
Q

What is the shock absorbing segement of the foot?

27
Q

What are the three cuneiforms?

A

Medial, Intermediate, and Lateral

28
Q

All joint besides calcaneocuboid and talonavicular are __________ ___________

A

Gliding Joints

29
Q

What is the function of the arches of the foot?

A

Absorb shock
Dissipate ground reaction forces
Increase the foots flexibility

30
Q

What are the arches of the foot?

A

Medial Longitudinal arch
Lateral Longitudinal arch
Transverse metatarsal arch

31
Q

What is the medial longitudinal arch formed by?

A

Calcaneus, talus, navicular,cuneiforms, and first 3 metatarsals

32
Q

How is support maintained in the medial longitudinal arch?

A

Calcaneonavicular ligament and plantar fascia

33
Q

What is the lateral longitudinal arch formed by?

A

Calcaneus, cuboid, and forth and fifth metatarsals

34
Q

What is the transverse metatarsal arch?

A

Formed by the wedging of the tarsals and the base of the metatarsals

35
Q

What is the windlass effect?

A

The windlass mechanism describes the manner by which the plantar fascia supports the foot during weight- bearing activities and provides information regarding the biomechanical stresses placed on the plantar fascia.

36
Q

What are the nerves of the foot and ankle?

A

Sural nerve( lateral foot)
Seep and superficial peroneal nerve( dorsal surface)
Saphenous nerve( medial foot)
Lateral and medial plantar nerve (plantar surface)
Tibial nerve and branches of sural nerve ( posterior aspect)

37

49
Q

Why do forefoot injuries ussually occur?

A

compressive and tensile forces

50
Q

What anatomical factors also result in injuries?

A

Poor gait such as overpronation
