27
what is the bifurcate ligament
calcaneocuboid ligament and calcaneovicular ligament, 2 bands of fibres combined to form the bifurcate ligament
28

29
what is the long plantar ligament- position
superficial to short plantar calcaneocuboid ligament, covers plantar surface of calcaneus
30
what is the long plantar ligament- attachment
attaches posteriorly to plantar surface of calcaneus between anterior and posterior tubercles, passes forward to cuboid and base of lateral 4 metatarsals
31
list of intertarsal joints
subtalar, midtarsal, cuneonavicular, intercuneiform, cuneocuboid, tarsometatarsal
32
joints of the foot
intertarsal joints, intermetatarsal, metatarsophalangeal, interphalangeal
33
joints of the foot classification and movements- intertarsal
synovial plane- gliding
34
joints of the foot classification and movements- tarsometatarsal and intermetatarsal joints
synovial plane- gliding
35
joints of the foot classification and movements- metatarsophalangeal joint
synovial ellipsoid, flexion/ extension, abduction/ adduction- point of rotation is second toe
36
joints of the foot classification and movements- interphalangeal joint
flexion/ extension
37
metatarsophalangeal joints- planes and axis abduction and adduction
abd and add- with foot in plantigrade: horizontal plane/ vertical axis,
38
metatarsophalangeal joints- abduction produced by
abductor hallucis (great toe), ADM (little toe), dorsi interossei (2nd, 3rd, 4th)
39
metatarsophalangeal joints- abduction range and limited by
rarely measured numerically, limited by- tension in antagonists
40
metatarsophalangeal joints- adduction produced by
adductor hallucis (great toe), plantar interossei (3-5 toes)
41
metatarsophalangeal joints- adduction range and limited by
top spread observed, limited by- apposition of soft tissue- other toes
42
interphalangeal joints- flexion- produced by and assisted by
flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor digitorum brevis, assisted- flexor digitorum accessories,
43
interphalangeal joints- extension produced by and assisted by
extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, extensor digitorum brevis, assisted by- the lumbricals

46
functions of the foot
dynamic and strong support the body weight, it serves as a lever for propulsion, spring and lift for many activities, adapts to uneven surfaces, flexible/ resilient to absorb shock of weight bearing, it provides a stable base of proximal function
47
foot as a lever
powerful muscles in posterior aspect of calve attaching to posterior aspect of calcaneus- short lever arm, to longer lever arm- to produce a machine for propulsion, the longer calcaneus= longer propulsion
48
arches of the foot
add weight bearing capabilities and resilience of the foot, acts as a shock absorber in standing and propulsive movements, enable the foot to adapt to different surfaces and to weight change
49
how is weight bearing transmitted
weight of the body, is transmitted from tibia to talus, then inferiorly and posteriorly to the calcaneus, then inferiorly and anteriorly. to the heads of the 2nd and 5th MT's and sesamoid bones of great toe
50
medial longitudinal arch
(1-2)- from calcaneum to base of great toe
51
lateral longitudinal arch
(1-2) from calcaneum to head of 5th MT
52
Transverse arch
(2-3)- between head of metatarsals and also between cuboid and cuneiforms
53
bones of the medial longitudinal arch
calcaneum, navicular, medial cuneiform and first MT
54
medial longitudinal arch- keystones
talus acts as a wedge- cannot fall between navicular and calcaneus, sustenticulum tali is a medial support, cuboid and cuneiforms are a wedge
55
passive support medial longitudinal arch
calcaneonavicular ligament, tibialis anterior/ posterior tendon, plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (spring ligament), plantar aponeurosis (desner structure of tuberosity of calcaneus- extensive insertion), short/ plantar ligaments- resist dropping
56
dynamic arch support- medial arch
tibialis anterior/ posterior, flexor hallucis longus, fibularis longus, intrinsic plantar muscle
57
bones forming the lateral longitudinal arch
calcaneum, cuboid and 5th MT form the lateral longitudinal arch
58
lateral longitudinal arch- keystone and passive support
keystone effect of talus and cuboid (wider at top than at plantar aspect- cant full through), supported by plantar ligament (short and long) and lateral aspect of plantar aponeurosis
59
lateral longitudinal arch- dynamic support
peroneus brevis- muscles in lateral compartment of calve that wrap around the lateral malleolus, peroneus longus- under foot and inserts into medial cuneiform and proximal base of first MT tibialis anterior
60
bones forming transverse arch
proximal and distal transverse arch, proximal- goes through cuboid and cuneiforms (keystones), distal- through head of MT's (wider above than inferiorly)
61
passive support of transverse arch
deep transverse metatarsal ligament, plantar ligaments supporting each junction of the ,metatarsals and phalanges, collateral ligaments at each of the interphalangeal joint, ellipsoid metatarsal phalangeal ligament
62
Accessory movement- ankle joint- talocrural joint
longitudinal distraction, AP, PA
63
Accessory movement- subtalar joint
distraction, rock of talus on calcaneus slide tilt medially, slide tilt laterally
64
