5 LE Foot Flashcards
(54 cards)
podiatry
study y care of feet
FCN of foot
(1) platform to support body weight
(2) movement
synovial joints (7)
talocrural subtalar (talocalcaneal) talocalcaneonavicular calcneocuboid tarsometatarsal metatarsophalangeal interphalangeal
talocrural joint
synovial joint @ ankle
- hinge
- dorsiflexion + plantar flexion
subtalar joint
synovial joint
- made up of talocalcaneonavicular + calcaneocuboid joints
- inversion + eversion
(aka) talocalcaneal
talocalcaneonavicular joint
augment (add to) subtalar joint
calcaneocuboid joint
augment (add to) subtalar joint
tarsometatarsal joint
synovial joint
- allows slight movement
metatarsophalangeal joint
synovial joint
- hinge
- flexion + extension
interphalangeal joint
synovial joint
- hinge
- flexion + extension
skin of the foot
dorsal surface
plantar surface
dorsal surface (skin of the foot)
thin
loose y low fat
plantar surface (skin of the foot)
thick
many sweat glands
high fat
sensitive
dorsal fascia
deep fascia of the foot continuous w/ inferior extensor retinaculum
plantar fascia
deep fascia of the foot
- thick centrally
- forms plantar aponeurosis
plantar aponeurosis
acts like a superficial ligament in the deep fascia of the foot
FCN plantar apoenurosis
(1) hold parts of foot juntos
(2) protect from injuries [include VAN]
(3) support longitudinal arches of the foot
specializations of the foot
(1) tendinous sheaths y bursae
(2) calcaneal y malleolar bursae
(3) MP y IP ligaments
(4) extensor y flexor expansions
long plantar ligament
spans calcaneous to base MT #2-5
- 1st layer (most superficial)
plantar calcaneocuboid ligament
(aka) short plantar ligament
- 2nd layer
plantar calcaneonavicular ligament
connects calcaneus y navicular
- (aka) spring ligament
- 3rd layer
deep transverse metatarsal ligament
located btwn MTs
- 4th layer
intertarsal ligaments
deepest ligament
FCN arches of the foot
(1) distribute weight
(2) shock absorption
(3) “springs” to propel during movement
