ankle and foot Flashcards
how many large muscles in the foot/ankle
19
3 main ankle bones
tibia, fibula, talus
motions of the foot/ankle
dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, eversion
dorsiflexion and plantar flexion happen in the ___ plane around the ____ axis
sagittal
medio-lateral
intrinsic muscle location
close to the joint
main functions of the ankle and foot joints
support, proulsion
how many bones in each foot
26
rear foot bones
calcaneous, talus
mid foot bones
tarsals
forefoot bones
metatarsals and phalanges
sesamoid bones in the foot function
pulley for flexor tendon
purpose of fibula
muscle attachment
purpose of tibia
weight bearing
purpose of fibula and tibia
stability
which bone in the foot is vulnerable for fracture
base of the 5th metatarsal
dorsiflexion and plantar flexion happens from which joint
talocrural
talocrural joint type
hinge
eversion and inversion occurs from which joint
subtalor
eversion and inversion occurs in the ___ plane around the ___ axis
frontal
AP
splay
separate toes
the ankle has a special ___ motion
triplanar
pronation of foot
arch is a little flatter, towards medial side
supination of foot
towards lateral side
tibiofibular joint type
symphysis
how many tibiofibular joints
2 on each side, superior and inferior
what holds the tibiofibular joint bones together
joint syndesmosis
what is a joint syndesmosis
thick fascia
high ankle sprain
inferior tibiofibular joint gets separated
from rotation
tibia and leg rotate in and toes rotate out
true ankle joint
talocrural joint
talocrural joint type
hinge
talocrural joint articulation
fibula, talus, tibia
talocrural joint plantar flexion ___ degrees
50
talocrural joint dorsiflexion __ degrees
15-20
talocrural joint PF and DF degree of motion is dictated by
shape of talus
movements from talocrural joint
PF, DF, fibular rotation
subtaylor and transverse tarsal joints type
special triplanar
inversion __ degrees
20-30
eversion ___ degrees
5-15
what blocks some eversion motion
lateral malleolus
lateral ankle sprain motions
inversion, plantarflexion
anterior talofibular ligament
front, fibula, talus
posterior tibiofibular ligament
back, talus, fibula
calcaneofibular ligament
calcareous, fibula
medial ankle sprain motion
eversion
medial ankle sprain is bad because
can cause fallen arch
deltoid ligament made of (4)
posterior tibiotaylor ligament
tibiocalcaneal ligament
tibionavicular ligament
anterior tibiotaylor ligament
intertarsal and tarsometatarsal joints type
synovial plane
