joints Flashcards
Proximal Tibiofibular Joint
synovial
plane
limited superior and posterior glide
with dorsiflexion
limited inferior and anterior glide
with plantar flexion
distal tibiofibular joint
the distal end of the fibula articulates with the distal end of the tibia
The Talocrural joint
the distal ends of the tibia and fibula articulate with the trochlea (dome) of the talus
The subtalar joint
inversion
eversion
talocalcaneonavicular joint
ball and socket joint, helps increase inversion/eversion range
plantar calcaneonavicular ligament
a.k.a. the spring ligament
calcaneocuboid joint
the articulation between the calcaneus and the cuboid
long plantar ligament
helps maintain the arches of the foot
primary joint for inversion and eversion
The subtalar joint
metatarsophalangeal joints
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction
dorsiflexion, plantarflexion happens at
talocural joint
metatarsophalangeal joints
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction
synovial
condyloid
PIPs
proximal interphalangeal joints
