Q

describe the midtarsals or Chopart’s joint

A

consists of talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints

very versatile; 3 planes of movement

allows weight bearing foot to adapt/contour

functions closely with subtalar joint to allow for supination/pronaiton

Q

describe how the transverse tarsal joint moves

A

moves with subtalar (can isolate by holding calcaneus in place)

navicular spins at talonavicular joint

allows calcaneus to move and both the subtalar and transverse tarsal joints to provide pronation and supination

Q

describe how the rearfoot directs the transverse tarsal joint of the foot with pronation and supination

A

full supination restricts overall flexibility of the midfoot (lateral side drops/twists and is more rigid)

full pronation increases overall flexibility of the forefoot (untwists medial and lateral near foot; nearly parallel)

Q

describe what happens at the arch of the foot during standing

A

BW pushes talus inferiorly and lowers arch

tension in fascia acts as a spring

when arch is depressed the rearfoot pronates a few degrees

Q

what is pes planus

A

flat foot/dropped medial arch

due to joint laxity combined with overstretched/torn/weak fascia, spring ligament, or posterior tibialis

results in excessive subtalar pronation

forefoot abduction can occur and depress talis and make the navicular rib against inside of foot

25
how is the ST joint adding flexibility to the foot in the gait cycle
during first 30-35% it pronates (everts)
26
how does the foot transfer to stabilitvs flexibility in the late phase of gait
arch rises sharply and supinates addign stability to the foot
27
how does the subtalar joint move immedialtely after heel contact in the early to midstance portion of gait
rapidly plantar flexes and pronates 4-9 degrees calcaneus everts and pronates in response to the GRF just lateral to midpoint of calcaneus head of talus pushes medially and inferior ST joint prontates AND tibia and fibula internally rotate after heel contact
28
What happens if there is excessive pronation at the stance phase
center of pressure falls medially this can stress tissue ; especially the fascia, talonavicular joint, and posterior tibialis tendon can involve muscle weakness in foot/arch or laxity in arch structures may have excessive subtalar motion in horizontal and frontal planes
29
when in the gait cycle does the entire stance limb begin to reverse the hroizontal plane motion from internal to external RT
15-20% into gait cycle
30
describe how the stance leg shifts from IR to ER in the gait cycle
stance foot is secured ER of femur then tibia talus reverses into ER then subtalar joint moves toward supination mid and forefoot still in contact with floor for push off then mid and forefoot move into relative pronation medial and longitudinal arch are lifted and mid/forefoot move into rigid supination which allows the force of the muscles to transfer into the push off
31
theory for orthosis to prevent excessive pronation
theory is that it optimizes mid stance alignment to reduce musculature demands and optimize bony alognment in order to use you need sufficient mobility, good eccentric control of post tib, and good mobility in forefoot
32
what joints for the transverse arch
3 at the cuneonavicular and 1 at calcaneocuboid
33
what are lisfrancs joints
seperate fore and mid foot from the base of the metatarsals to teh cuneiforms/cuboids least motion is found at the 2nd/3rd
34
describe the intermetatarsal joints
have plantar, dorsal, and interosseous ligaments 3 lateral are synovial joints the 1st and second are NOT synovial
35
describe the metatarsal phalangeal joints
convex head of the metatarsals to shalow concavity of the phalanx have a capsule, collateral ligamentsl and a plantar plate (passage for flexor tendons) 2 deg of freedom: flex/ext and abd/add
36
what is halluz limitus or rigidus or turf toe
marked limited in motion and pain at MTP (<55 deG) need 45 deg for walking so pt may adapt by walking on outside of foot caused by frequent forceful hyperext can cause sesamoid fx
37
what is hallux valgus
progressive lateral deviation of great toe/adduction of metatarsal tendons are displaced relative to joint and can promote greater deformation tigh achilles, incorrect footwear, excessive rearfoot valgus, instability of 1st ray can be causative and secondarily can get hemmer 2nd toe, metatarsalgia, and bursitis at "bunion"
38
describe the interphalangeal joints
proximal and distal IPs convex head and convex base of distal one have ligamens/capsules/plates flex and extend important for windless mechanism where fascia transmits force from calcaneus to base of toes for push off
39
describe the windless effect
contraction of extrinisc platar muscles lifts calcaneus BW is transferred over metatarsal heads resulting extension stretches/winds up plantar fascia increased tension raises arch and strengthens mid and fore foot intrinsic muscles also reinforce arch
40
how does flat foot affect the windless effect
medial arch is poorly supported forfoot sags when going onto toes this reduced the extension of the MTP joints and limits the usefullness of the windless effect arch remains flat and midfoot is unstable as a result
41
difference between extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the leg
extrinsic only have proximal attachment in leg intrinsic have proximal and distal attachments in leg
41
roots of common fibular n
L4-S2
42
muscles that contribute to DF and inversion
tibialis anterior extensor hallucis longus
43
tibial n roots and innervation
L4-S3
44
muscles that contribute to DF and eversion
extensor digitorum longus peroneus tertius
45
muscles that contribute to PF and inversion
tibialis post flexor digitorum longus flexor hallucis longus achilles tendon
46
muscles that contribute to PF and eversion
peroneus brevis and longus
47
what muscles are in the anterior compartment of the leg
tibialis anterior extensor hallucis longus extensor digitorum longus peroneus tertius
48
what is in the lateral compartment of the leg
peroneus longus and brevis
49
where do peroneus longus and brevis run
from the lateral fibula they wrap around the lateral malleolus (acts as a pully) brevis attaches to 5th metatarsal head longus runs through the groove of the cuboid bone between the long and short plantar ligaments to the 1st tarsometatarsal joint
50
what is on either side of the 1st metatarsal
anterior tibialis and peroneus longus
51
importance of peroneus longus and brevis functionally
primary evertors main source of active stability of ankle and they stabilize the first ray they are active through much of the gait cycle -eccentric following heel strike, midstance, and heel off
52
what muscles form a sling that supports the transverse arch and medial longitudinal arch
fibularis longus and tibialis posterior
53
what do gastroc and tibialis posterior do when someone runs on tip toes
their pull causes a slight supination of the rearfoot which adds further stability to the foot
54
what is the superficial group of the posterior compartment of the leg
gastroc soleus achilles plataris
55
what is in the deep group of the posterior compartment of the leg
posterior tib flexor digitorum longus flexor hallucis longus
56
characteristics of the achilles tendon
strongest tendon in the body 75% of ruptures are people over 55 it is compliant and can store energy when stretched
57
describe how there is a large mechanical advantage for the gastroc when standing on tip toes
gastroc has short internal moment arm from the talocrural joint gastroc has long internal moment arm on metatarsophalangeal joints once on tip toes, LOG falls posterior to axis of MTP joints; thus body weight acts with relatively small external moment arm
58
what is the one layer of intrinsic muscles on the dorsum of the foot
extensor digitorum brevis
59
what are the layers of intrinsic mucsles on the plantar surface
layer 1: Flexor digitorum brevis, abductor hallucis, and abductor digiti minimi layer 2: Quadratus plantae, lumbricals layer 3: adductor hallucis, flexor hallucis brevis, flexor digiti minimi layer 4: plantar interossei and DI??
60
a weakened soleus can cause what problem with knee flexion while standing with foot on ground
weak soleus cant decelerate DF
