Week 7 - Prac

Question 1

Calcaneal inclination

Answer 1

Line under base of foot the foot and then from Calcaneal through Mets
Angle between

Question 2

Taker first MPJ ankle (Mearys)

Answer 2

• Formed by bisection of the tamarind neck and the base of the 1st metatarsal
• normal 0 degrees
• angle less then 4 convex upward: pes cavus
• angle more than 4 convex downward: pes planus

Question 3

AP - Talar - 1st MPJ angle

Answer 3

Median Tarsal bone to median of 1st MPJ

Question 4

Cyma line

Answer 4

• s shaped curve formed by the talonavicular joint and the calcaneocuboid
• normaly smooth and unbroken
  In pronation you get anterior break in the cyma line

Question 5

1st MPJ angle

Answer 5

Formed from the bisection of the 1st and 2nd metatarsal bones
Normally 8-12 degrees
Anything higher than 15 degrees is thought to predispose to HV

Question 6

Hallux abducts angle

Answer 6

Ideal less than 15 degrees
Angle formed between the bisection of the 1st metatarsal and proximal phalanx

Question 7

Proximal articular set angle (PASA)

Answer 7

• formed perpendicular to the effective articular surface of the 1st metatarsal head and the long axis of the 1st metatarsal
• normal is 0-8 degrees
• above 10 degrees is adaptive change seen in HV
