Wk7- FPI Flashcards
What are the 6 FPI criterias
- Talar head palpation
2.malleolar curves - Calcaneal frontal plane position
- Tall-navicular bulge
- Congruence of MLA
- Forefoot abduction/adduction
Pronated foot type =
Supinated =
Pronated = positive result
Sup= negative result
Interpretation of FPI scores
Normal= 0- 5
Pronated = 6 to 9 Highly pronated = 10+
Supinated= -1 to -4 highly supinated = -5 to -12
STJ motion - OKC/CKC
Talus doesn’t move in open
Calc and talus move in closed - weightbearing
Purpose of OKC measures (non weight bearing)
- assess total ROM of joint
-assess direction of motion of joint - assess positional deformity of a joint
Define Rearfoot varus
Inverted position of the cal in relation to the ground in NCSP
Cause of rearfoot varus
congential osseous deformity due to
- tibial varum and or
-STJ varum
Pathomechanics of rearfoot varum During gait
Loading response- rapid and excessive pronation required at STJ + excessive internal tibial rotation until end of ROM or until FF contacts ground. This means further unlocking of MTJ occurs
What does a fully compensated RFVR look like in RCSP
Sufficient STJ pronation available
Heel will appear vertical and STJ pronated
What does a partially compensated RFVR look like in RCSP
Available STJ pronation (eversion) less than the degree of RFVR
-RCSP will be inverted but less than NCSP
What does an uncompensated RFVR look like in RCSP
- no available STJ eversion, heel stays in inverted position during gait
-RCSP = NCSP position
Signs and symptoms of a compensated FRVR
-callous PMA 2-4
-low arch
-lateral shoe wear
-Hallux limitus with bunion
-muscle fatigue
-inversion ankle sprains
-heel pain
Signs and symptoms of partially/uncompensated RFVR
-callous on lateral foot
-tailors bunion
-acquired plantarflexed 1st ray
-inversion ankle sprains
-lack of internal tibial rotation/shock attenuation mechanisms
Define rearfoot valgus
Everted position of calc in relation to the ground in NCSP (not to be confused with a pronated RCSP)
What is the cause of RFVL
Congential osseous deformity:
May be present in cases of:
-tibial valgum (rare)
