Q

What motion to you create for all fibres of the deltoid ligament

A

Eversion

24
Q

In what position do you test the anterior talus fibres of the deltoid ligament

A

PF

25
Q

In what position do you test the navicular fibres of the deltoid ligament

A

Slight PF

26
Q

In what position do you test the calcaneal fibres of the deltoid ligament

A

In neutral

27
Q

In what position do you test the posterior talar fibres of the deltoid ligament

A

Full DF

28
Q

Where are you hands positioned when testing the Medial talocalcaneal ligament? What motion do you create?

A

Stabilize talus and evert and gap medial side of calcaneus

29
Q

How do you stress test the spring (plantar calcaneonavicular) ligament

A

Roll up two towels - one under navicular one under calcaneus (sustentacular tali)
Using web of hand apply pressure directly down through neck of the talus

May be a visual deformity even prior to testing

30
Q

What are the accessory movements at the ankle

A

anterior and posterior glides

31
Q

What are the accessory movements at the talocrural joint

A

anterior (PF) glide

Posterior (DF) glide

32
Q

How do you conduct an anterior glide at the TC joint

A
  • stabilize distal tib-fib
  • Pull talus anteriorly (avoid pulling through calcaneous)
  • Pull along curve of the joint
33
Q

How do you conduct an posterior glide at the TC joint

A
  • Stabilize distal TibFIb on posterior part of calf

- Push talus posteriorly along the curve of the joint

34
Q

Posterior calcaneus in ______ and the anterior is _____ (at the joints with the talus)

A

Convex

Concave

35
Q

Where does the spring ligament run and what is its role

A

from the navicular to the sustentacular tali, keeps the medial head of the talus off the floor

36
Q

Why is sustained pressure important when testing the spring ligament

A

because injury to this ligament is often due to overload

37
Q

medial glide of the anterior calcaneus on the talus helps with what motions

A

Inversion and supination

38
Q

What is the hand position for a medial glide of the anterior subtalar joint

A
  • Stabilize anterior talus
  • Moving hand anterior to peroneal tubercle , posterior to calcaneocuboid joint line
  • elbows out
39
Q

In what position do you assess movement of the anterior subtalar joint ? treat?

A

supine

side lying

40
Q

Lateral glide of the anterior calcaneus on the talus helps with what motions

A

Eversion and pronatino

41
Q

What is the hand position for a lateral glide at the anterior subtalar joint

A
  • stabilize across anterior talus
  • moving hand is over the sustentaculum tali
  • Elbows out
42
Q

What glides will you perform at the talonavicular joint

A

plantar and dorsal

43
Q

For the talonavicular, navicular-medial cuneiform, and 1st TMT joints what are the two motions and the terms used to describe them

A
  1. Fold: plantar glide with medial rotation

2. Fan: dorsal glide with lateral rotation

44
Q

For the calcanealcuboid joint what are the two motions and the terms used to describe them

A
  1. Fold: plantar glide and lateral rotation

2. Fan: Dorsal glide with medial rotation

45
Q

What is mobilization with movement

A

Get them to do a motion where they feel pain or restriction, then apply glide while doing that same motion. GLIDE FIRST MOVE SECOND

46
Q

What are the indications for a talocrural traction manipulation

A
  1. To restore the end of range of ankle OF or DF when mobs are no longer effective
  2. To gain the final few degrees of PF or DF when a non-capsular limitation of motion is present
47
Q

Why should joint stability be retested after a manip

A

there may be an underlying hypermobility or instability causing the loss of end range ROM

48
Q

What are the effects of a talocrural traction manipulation

A
  • Possible tearing of post-traumatic adhesions

- Quick strethc to joint capsule and stimulation of mechanoreceptors - neurophysiological effect

49
Q

What are the risks of a talocrural traction manipulation

A

55
Q

What is the follow-up treatment after a manip?

A
  • ROM exercises, assuming joint is stable
  • Post-treatment soreness can occur; warn patient, suggest the use of ice
