33
Screening for intermittent claudication
Palpate Posterior tibial artery
34
Achilles Tendonitis
Microscopic tears in collagen fibers, just proximal to attachment on calcaneous Flat feet more prone to get due to hypereversion
35
Rupture of Achilles Tendon
Audible snap and feel intense pain Difficult carrying out plantar flexion
36
High heeled shoes

40
Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
“First step pain” Aponeurosis is stretched and tiny tears develop
41
Plantar Nerve Reflex
Stroking skin of lateral plantar aspect of foot- normal response is flexion of all digits
42
Abnormal plantar nerve reflex
Babinski sign (digits 2-5 will abduct and digit 1 will extend)
43
Segmental innervation tested in plantar nerve reflex
L4 L5 S1 S2
