A

TRUE

18
Q

Stabilizers; PL, PB, PT, abductor digiti minimi, FDB, plantar fascia, plantar ligaments

18
Q

Composition of the Medial longitudinal arch

A

Slightly questionable Calcaneus, talus, navicular 3 cuneiforms, 1st, 2nd, 3rd metatarsal bone
Keystone: talus (most reliable) and navicular
Stabilizers:
TA, TP, FDL, FHL, FDP, AbH
Spring ligament: maintains MLA

18
Q

Howe are the arches of the foot maintained

A

Wedging of the interlocking tarsal and metatarsal bones
Tightening of the ligaments on the plantar aspect of the foot
Intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot and their tendons

18
Q

Supports foot sole, extends from calcaneus to metatarsal heads
Attachment for extrinsic muscles
Key role in push-off mechanism

A

Plantar Fascia

18
Q

heel pain, swelling, especially during weight-bearing
Windlass Test: is for?

A

Plantar fasciitis: heel pain, swelling, especially during weight-bearing
.
Windlass Test: Positive with pain at insertion or toe

19
Q

Pronation vs. Supination of the foot

A

Pronation: Eversion of the heel
OKC: Abduction, eversion, dorsiflexion
.
Supination: Inversion of the heel
OKC: Adduction, inversion, plantarflexion
.
🔖 OKC: Pronation (PADIS), Supination (DABEP)
🔖 CKC: Pronation (DABIS), Supination (PADEP)

19
Q

Forefoot Types

A

Index Plus: Egyptian foot, 1>2>3>4>5
Index Minus: Morton’s/greek foot, 1<2>3>4>5
Index Plus-Minus: Squared foot, 1=2>3>4>5

19
Q

Foot weight distribution

A

19
Q

normal range of Fick angle (toe out)

A

Normal range 5-18 degrees

19
Q

Forefoot deviates inward (medially)
Often associated with hindfoot ___
Causes weight to shift laterally

A

19
Q

Forefoot deviates outward (laterally)
Associated with hindfoot ___
Weight distribution shifts medially

A

Forefoot valgus

19
Q

Condition where the forefoot is angled inward towards the midline of the body.
The first metatarsal is abducted, and the remaining metatarsals may also be adducted.
May lead to in toeing gait pattern.

A

Metatarsus Adductus

19
Q

Characteristics:
- High arches, typically non-weight bearing on heel and metatarsal heads
- Increased pressure on heel and ball of foot

- Medial longitudinal arch collapses towards the ground
- Overpronation, where the foot rolls inward excessively
Causes:
Congenital factors or acquired through trauma, muscle weakness, ligament laxity, or poor posture
Common in infants and toddlers, but may persist into adulthood
May lead to foot pain, fatigue, and difficulties in gait and balance

A

Pes Planus (Flatfoot or Mobile Foot)

Q

Hallux Valgus angles

A

Congruous valgus: 20-30 degrees
Pathological: 20-60 degrees
