51
PLANTAR FASCIA
flat, thick band of CT that connects calcaneal tuberosity to ligaments around heads of metatarsal bones -supports arch on bottom of foot, very strong
52
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
if plantar fascia is stretched or overworked and becomes inflamed
53
what is retinaculum - & its function
retinaculum = band of thickened deep fascia occurs where tendons pass through (usually around joints) FUNCTION: stabilize tendons; hold them in place
54
RETINACULA of ankle
superior & inferior extensor retinaculum: -medial view = holds down extensor tendons superior & inferior fibular retinaculum: -lateral view = holds down fibular / peronal tendons flexor retinaculum: -medial view = holds down flexor tendons
55
BURSA
fluid filled sac that cushions & lubricates against friction between tendon & bone when moving against each other
56
main region in ankle that gets high friction & requires a BURSA
between calcaneus & achilles tendon
57
what are the TWO bursa between the calcaneus & achilles tendon
Superficial or Subcutaneous Calcaneal Bursa Deep or Retrocalcaneal Bursa
58
what are foot arches & what are they essential for?
arches in our feet formed by bones, ligaments & tendons connected together -essential for movement, weight bearing & shock absorption
59
what are the 3 distinct arches of the foot
-TWO "longitudinal" arches (one on each side) -ONE "transverse" arch (runs across midfoot)
60
MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL ARCH
most prominent foot arch ("the arch") -runs from front to back along medial side of foot -absorbs majority of shock of impact while walking, running, jumping
61
Pes Cavus (medial longitudinal arch)
an unusually high medial longitudinal arch
62
LATERAL LONGITUDINAL ARCH
runs parallel to medial arch, along lateral edge of foot -most visible in people with very high arches
63
Pes Planus (lateral longitudinal arch)
occurs when longitudinal arches are lost ="flat feet"
64
TRANSVERSE ARCH
runs across midfoot from medial to lateral -provides support & flexibility to foot
