A

the the distal tib fib to open up

73
Q

what is a steppage gait

the inability to lift the foot while walking due to weakness of the muscle that cause DF

foot drop during gait

could also be due to equinas

what is the average recovery time for a high ankle sprain

A

> 6months

77
Q

are thrust mobs okay after an acute ankle injury

A

yes

78
Q

evidence based practice for PT after acute ankle sprain

A

manual therapy

thrusts and non-thrust mobilization

exercise therapy

balance and proprioceptive exercises

79
Q

what are some contraindications for manual therapy and ankle sprains

A

acute with sig pain

grade 3 sprains

injury of syndesmosis or fracture

history of surgery or fracture

80
Q

what is a syndesmosis

A

a fibrous joint in which two adjacent bones are linked by a strong membrane or ligaments

81
Q

what is plantar fasciitis

A

inflammation fo the plantar fasciitis

82
Q

what are the feature of plantar fasciitis

A

tenderness at the medial tubercle of the fasciitis

worst witht he first few steps in the morning or after a long time sitting

pain with combined DF and great toe extension

slight PF aids relief of symptoms

83
Q

what is the mechanism Plant fas

A

excessive foot pronation

pes clavus foot

limited DF ankle

limted DF of the MTP joints

84
Q

where does the plantar fasciatis insert

A

the phalanges

85
Q

what is a another word for high arch

A

pes clavus

86
Q

what is a another word for low arch

A

pes planus

87
Q

excessive pronation and - plant fac

A

this will over stretch the plantar fascia

results in irritation

88
Q

pes clavus - plant fas

A

there is limited pronation during gait and this result in a rigid foot that is not able to absorb shock

therefore the plant fas is absorbing a lot of the shock

89
Q

limited ankle Df - plant fas

A

this may lead to more PF needed from the MTP joint and this will place more tension on the plantar fas

90
Q

limted MTP DF

A

this will place excessive tension on the plant fas during gait

91
Q

what are the signs and symptoms of Plant fas

A

pain wil palpation - calcaneal insertion

complain of severe pain on WB after period of rest - this may resolve as the patient walks and will reappear with increased activity

limited passive ankle DF and/or MTP Df

pronators - pes cavus deformity or RF/FF deformity

92
Q

how can you reproduce plant fas

A

palpate

passive extension of MTPs or resisted flexion

93
Q

what is the windlass effect

A

this is the mechanism that lift the medial long arch during toe off

94
Q

what happend to the plant fas during the windless mechanism

A

as the toe extends the plant fas lengthens and increases tension on the medial long arch

the increased tension pulls the are togethere and raises it to stablize the foot during toe off

95
Q

what is the purpose of windlass testing

A

the presence of fascial impairments in the foot

96
Q

what is the procedure for the windlass testing - sitting

A

stablize the ankle in neutral with one hand just proximal to the met-tarsal head

extend the proximal phalangy

A

pt on a stool with metarsal just off of the stool

98
Q

what is a positive test

A

pt pain is reproduced
