Q

Is the ankle joint more stable when the foot is dorsiflexed or plantarflexed? Why?

A

Joint is more stable when the foot is dorsiflexed because the wider surface of the talus moves into ankle joint . When the foot is plantarflexed the narrow part of the talus is in the joint

Q

Would too much pronation of supination stretch the medial ligament?

little motion occurs

34
Q

What is the name of the joints between the cuboid bone, 3 cuneiform bones and the metatarsals?

A

Tarsometatarsal Joints

35
Q

What motions occur at the Tarsometatarsal Joints?

What motions occur at the MTP joints?

A

Extension and flexion, some abduction, adduction and circumduction

38

What motions occur at the interphalangeal joints?

A

flexion and extension

40
Q

What are the attachment points of the long plantar calcaneocuboid ligament?

A

The plantar aspect of the calcaneus to the cuboid and bases of metatarsals

41
Q

The long plantar calcaneocuboid ligament forms a canal for what muscle?

A

fibularis longus muscle

42
Q

The long plantar calcaneocuboid ligament helps maintain what arch?

A

lateral longitudinal arch of foot

43
Q

What are the attachment points of the short plantar calcaneocuboid ligament?

A

Front part of the plantar surface of the calcaneus to the plantar surface of cuboid bone

44
Q

The short plantar calcaneocuboid ligament helps maintain what arch?

A

lateral longitudinal arch of foot

45
Q

What are the articulating surfaces of the plantar calaneonavicular ligament?

A

Sustentaculum tali of calcaneus to navicular bone

46
Q

What are the 2 functions of the plantar calaneonavicular ligament?

A

Supports head of talus and medial longitudinal arch

47
Q

What is the plantar calaneonavicular ligament aka? Why?

A

“Spring” Ligament

Because it contains elastic fibers which give elasticity to the longitudinal arch and spring to foot

48
Q

What are the 3 arches of the foot?

A
  • Medial Longitudinal Arch
  • Lateral Longitudinal Arch
  • Transverse Arch
49
Q

What is the function of the Medial Longitudinal Arch?

A

weight-bearing

50
Q

Which tarsal bone is the keystone to the medial longitudinal arch?

A

talus (particularly the head)

52
Q

What is the function of the lateral Longitudinal Arch?

A

Provides balance

53
Q

Between the medial and lateral longitudinal arches with one is higher?

Q

What 2 muscles help to maintain the curvature of the transverse arch?

A

Fibularis longus and tibialis posterior

55
Q

What is the plantar aponeurosis?

A

Longitudinally arranged bundles of dense fibrous tissue that form the thick, central part of the plantar fascia.

57
Q

What ligaments connect the plantar aponeurosis between the tarsal bones?

A

Superficial transverse metatarsal ligament

58

2 muscles in the second layer of plantar muscles

A
  • Quadratus plantae

- Lumbricales

62
Q

3 muscles in the third layer of plantar muscles

A
  • Flexor hallucis brevis
  • Flexor digiti minimi
  • Adductor halllucis
63
Q

2 muscles in the fourth layer of plantar muscles

A
  • Plantar interossei

- Dorsal interossei

64
Q

All dorsal intrinsic foot muscles are innervated by what nerve?

A

deep fibular nerve

65
Q

Plantar intrinsic foot muscles are innervated by what 2 nerves?

A

the medial and lateral plantar nerves

66
Q
