Q

do you have more dorsi or plantar flexion at the talo-cruel joint? why?

A

more plantarflexion because trochlea gets wider as you move ant.
dorsi= 10-20
plantar = 50-60

tibia/ fibular joint (proximal)
 whats approximating
 type of joint
 what happens to fib during:
 ankle eversion and dorsiflexion
A
  1. fib head articulating with fibular facet (lateral posterior on tib)
  2. diarthrodial = free movement
  3. during ankle eversion- fibular head moves up slightly and some external rotation

Q

tibia/fibular joint (distal)
type of joint
two ligaments

A
  1. more synarthrodial- 2 bones jutted together with strong ligaments
    ligaments:
  2. tibiofibular interosseus lig- so strong => tri-malleolar fracture (medial/ lat/ trochlear) pulls bones away, doesnt split on itself
  3. anterior and posterior inferior tibial-fibular lig

Q

which side to pts usually sprain and how can we help them

A

chronic sprains are usually lateral so give them exercises to strengthen everters, which will compensate for ligamentous laxity

Q 
what happens at sub-talar joint in walking? (CKC => movement of tibia and talus on calcaneus)
 pronation is a combo of what movements
  when does this happen in gait?
supination is a combo of what movements
 when does this happen in gait?
A

pronation-
1. occurs in early part of stance when foot hits ground
2. lots of tibia IR, talus adduction with plantarflexion (on calcaneus)
=> calcaneus moves out for eversion

supination-

  1. occurs when body moves over foot, pushing off
  2. tibial ER, and because weight is going away, talar aBduction and dorsiflexion => calcaneus inverts

Q

talo-calcaneal navicular cuboid joint = transverse tarsal or mid tarsal joint
what bones are where?
type of axis/ movement
what is movement dependent on?

A
  1. navicular and cuboid are distal, with proximal talus and calcaneus (hindfoot)
  2. axis is oblique => triplanar so it can do pronation and supination
  3. this is always in CKC so movement is dependent on what happens at sub-talar joint; when subtalar is in supination, mid-tarsal joint is locked in slight supination, when subtalar is in pronation, mid-tarsal is free to do sup/pro

28
group 4 ligaments (dorsal) (2)
1. calcaneonavicular and calcaneocuboid => bifurcate ligament
29
``` spring ligament (4) superlative origin/ insertion what its important for what happens w/ loss of integrity ```
1. one of the strongest ligaments in the body 2. plantar side, runs btwn calcaneus and navicular (group 4- plantar) 3. important for medial longitudinal arch 4. loss of integrity => depressed arch
30
long plantar ligament
1. gives support to lateral longitudinal arch
31
``` plantar aponeurosis (4) what is it origin -> insertion function what is it important for? (2) ```
1. not quite a ligament, broad band of fascia 2. runs from calcaneus-> crosses MTP, insert on prox phalanges 3. when toes are extended this gets tight 4. need this for push off because it extends MTP and creates supportive plantar surface
32
high foot a.k.a. what happens treatment
1. pes cavus 2. wind lass effect- happens when foot rises up, tight extensor tendons -> toes rise -> plantar aponeurosis tightens 3. can't correct this, just put in arch support
33
arches purpose (4) made of (3)
purpose: 1. shock absorption 2. more malleable foot which allows us to adapt to surfaces 3. foot flexibility 4. linkage btwn tarsals and MT made of: 1. ligaments and bony architecture 2. muscles
34
depressed arches what its called and 2 types EMG activity
pes planus (2 types); 1. supple pes planus- arch is depressed only when person is wt bearing 2. rigid pes planus- arch is flat even when sitting 3. this leads to more EMG activity in intrinsic foot muscles to compensate
35
tarsal/ MT linkage ***????
1. medial (navicular) -> transverse - middle cuneiform 2nd MT
36
longitudinal arches
1. hindfoot-> forefoot | 2. medial longitudinal arch- less prominent on outside
37
transverse arches
1. left -> right | 2. visible if cut off toes, see the arch
38
``` feiss' line pt position markings what it should look like 2 dysfunctions ```
1. put person in NWB position 2. mark on medial malleoli, navicular tuberosity and med aspect of 1st MTP joing 3. should be straight if you connect and slope towards MTP 4. pes planus = navicular tuberosity drops below line 5. pes cavus- navicular tuberosity is above line
39
pes valgus how you Dx what happens to arch
1. from posterior view - pronation/ eversion (line down center of calf curves out) 2. arch gets decreased
40
pes varus how you Dx what happens to arch
1. posterior view doing supination/ inversion- calcaneus is turining in (line down center of calf curves in) 2. arch gets higher
41
pes equines dx what it leads to
1. fixed in plantar flexion (can be at ankle, forefoot) 2. leads to wt bearing on MT heads => calluses 3. can put heel lift in to accommodate
42
equino varus
1. combination of plantar flex and inversion | (happens in CP)
43
hallux valgus
1. 1st MTP drifts medially and phalanges drifts out laterally 2. generally see bunions, or calcifications on outside
44
anterior compartment extrinsic foot muscles (4) | innervation
1. ant tib 2. extensor hallicus longus 3. extensor digitorum longus 4. fibularis (peroneus) tertius all do dorisflexion inn- deep fibular nerve (L4,L5)
45
anterior tibialis origins -> insertions 3 movements innervation
``` 1. lat condyle/ sup half of lateral tib and interosseous membrane -> medial and inf surface of med cuneiform and base of 1st MT movements: 1. dorsiflexion 2. inversion 3. supination twist innervated by deep fibular nerve anterior compartment ```
46
anterior tib testing and weakness testing what happens if injured => what kind of gait?
1. test at 1st ray-pull down on MT and rotate out of supination twist 2. when weak see toe drop while walking (lack of heel strike) so hip and knee flexion => steppage gait
47
extensor hallicus longus origin -> insertion 3 movements innervation/ nerve root
``` 1. fib => distal phalange of big toe movement 1. dorsiflexion 2. inversion 3. extends big toe (if not problem with L5) deep fibular nerve anterior compartment ```
48
extensor digitorum longus origin -> insertion 2 movements
1. tib and fib -> mid and distal phalanges of toes 2-5 movement 1. dorsiflexion (too central for inversion or eversion) 2. extends lesser toes
49
fibularis (peroneus) tertius origin -> insertion 3 movements interesting fact
1. distal 1/3 ant fib -> dorsal base of 5th MT movements 1. dorsiflexion 2. eversion 3. helps with pronation twist at 5th TMT interesting fact: not found in other animals, probably for bipedal walk
50
2 lateral compartment leg muscles and inn w/ nerve roots purpose/ function how to work them
1. fibularis longus 2. fibularis brevis 3. inn by superficial fibular nerve (L5-S2) 4. stabilize lat aspect of ankle-foot (glut med for foot) => so prevent tib and fib from moving medially when body wt is coming thru 5. work them by doing activities in unilateral stance
51
fibularis longus origin -> insertion 3 movements
``` 1. fibular head -> behind lat malleoli -> plantar aspect 1st MT and med cuneiform movements: 1. eversion 2. weak plantar flexion 3. pronation twist of 1st ray ```

53
3 superficial posterior extrinsic musles | innervation and nerve root
1. gastroc 2. soleus 3. plantaris 4. inn by tibial nerve (S1-S2)
54
``` gastroc origin -> insertion 2 movements passive and active insufficiency what type of muscle fibers dominate? ```
1. med/ lat femoral condyles => tuberosity of calcaneus movements 1. flexes leg 2. PF when knee is extended (raises heel when walking) 3. passive insufficiency- extended knee, dorsiflexion 4. active insufficiency - flex knee, PF 5. mostly type 2- fast fibers = helps push off quckly
55
soleus origin -> insertion purpose (2) what type of muscle fibers dominate?
1. under gastroc heads, prox tib and fib -> achilles tendon 2. major anti-gravity muscle 3. provides postural stability of ankle, we would fall forward if we didn't have it (more active than ant tib) 4. mostly type 1 (slow type) fibers
56
plantaris origin -> insertion what is it used for?
1. lateral supracondylar ridge -> achilles tendon | 2. so thin and long usually used as a graft to replace medial collateral ligament at elbow
57
deep muscles of the posterior leg 4 muscles inn
1. tibialis posterior 2. flexor digitorum longus 3. flexor hallucis longus 4. popliteus inn by tibial nerve (L4-S3)
58
tibialis posterior all origin -> all insertions 3 movements where to palpate
1. interossoeus membrane, and posterior tib and fib -> everything BUT the talus, and 1st and 5th MT movements: 1. weak plantarflex 2. primary inverter* 3. some supination twist at 2nd and 3rd MT 4. palpate around medial malleoli
59
flexor digitorum longus origin -> insertions 3 movements
``` 1. medial posterior fib -> base of distal phalanges 2-5 movements 1. flexes digits 2-4 2. inversion 3. supination ```
60
flexor hallucis longus origin -> insertion 3 movements
``` 1. inferior 2/3 posterior fib, interosseous membrane -> base of distal phalanx of big toe movements 1. flexes big toe 2. weak plantarflexor 3. inverter and some supination twist ```
61
popliteus- unlocking mechanism
1. in closed chain it unlocks femur by externally rotating it. as knee is going into flexion, the insertion on the posterior aspect of the tib is forcing the origin to externally rotate the fib out 2. open chain -> medial rotation of tibial to unlock
62
shin splints (2)
1. deep down and medial, strains on the origin on the tibialis posterior 2. pes planus causes this
63
intrinsic foot muscles layer 1 (4)
1. aBductor hallicus 2. aBductor digiti minimi 3. flexor digitorium brevis 4. S1, S2 nerve roots (look at flexion of toes)

1. lateral malleoli | 2. binds down fibularis longus and brevis
71
flexor retinaculum location purpose
1. medial side | 2. binds down tom dick and harry
