Treatment of the Foot (1) Flashcards
what do WBing mechanisms do
enhance weight bearing capabilities of the foot
WBing mechanisms
curve beam system
arch system
muscular support
curved beam system
shape of foot as a whole
WBIng through the curved beam
curved beam system has
curved beam
front to back
side to side
curved beam system enhances
support of BW from above
WBing capabilities
fxns like building an arch
where is the curved beam
half of heel
half on met heads
2x on first met head
arches of the foot
anterior transverse arch
lateral longitudinal arch
medial longitudinal arch
medial longitudinal arch
AP arch on the medial side
medial longitudinal arch is a
flexible arch
responsible for mobility of the foot
depresses w/ WB
high point of MLA
navicular tubercle
place of arch support –> MLA
sustentaculum tali
boney prominence on the calcaneus
measuring the MLA
feiss line
Feiss line –> MLA
distance from navicular tubercle to floor in weight bearing
what does the height of the tubercle indicate –> feiss line
if the arch is normal, depressed or excessive
what do we compare –> feiss line
height in WBing and non-WBing to determine the arch
feiss line –> abnormal
if the depressing is excessive
resulting in pes planus
pes planus
flat foot
lateral longitudinal arch
AP arch on the later side
rigid arch
balancing side of the foot
rigid arch –> LLA
stability of the foot
balance side of the foot –> LLA
WB on LLA during MS in gait
transverse arches
transverse metatarsal
transverse tarsal
transverse metatarsal arch
metatarsal heads
flexible arch
roundness of front of foot
high point of transverse MT arch
2 MT head
flexible arch –> transverse MT arch
depressed w/ WB
roundness of front of foot –> transverse MT arch
when excessively depresses –> front of foot flat and splay foot
transverse MT arch is supported by
ligament and muscle support
easily depressed and stretched out
transverse tarsal arch
ML arches across the tarsals
rigid arches
anterior transverse tarsal arch
cuboid and 3 cuneiforms
middle cuneiform = high point/keystone
posterior transverse tarsal arch
navicular and cuboid
longitudinal muscular control
muscular support of the foot as a whole
-abductor hallucis
-flexor hallucis longus
-ABD digiti minimi
-flexor digitorum brevis and longus
-flexor digititorum accessory
muscles support arches –> MLA
posterior tib
fibularis longus
FHL
ABD HL
muscles support arches –> LLA
fibularis brevis and longus
ABD DM
sling of muscles which support the foot
muscles support arches –> TMTA
transverse head ADD hallucis
primary muscular support for this arch
muscles support arches –> TTA
ADD hallucis
fibularis longus
posterior tib
adult acquired flat foot deformity
chronic posterior tib tendonitis
attenuation of posterior tib tendon
breakdown of the arches of the foot
plantar fascia
runs calcaneus to phalanges
