Q

what does the talus do in pronation?

A

pushed medially (horizontal - add) and inferior (sagittal PF)

23
Q

what does the ST joint do in pronation?

A

abduction
DF
everted

24
Q

what does the tibia and fibula do after heel contact in pronation?

A

internally rotates

25
what happens with overpronation in stance?
the center of pressure falls more medially on the sole of the foot and after many repetitions during the gait cycle the tissue can show signs of the stress (local inflammation and pain) to the fascia, talonavicular joint and posterior tibialis tendon
26
where may you experience weakness at with excessive pronation?
LE muscles medial arch structures abnormal shape/mobility of tarsal bones
27
may have excessive _______ in horizontal/frontal planes with overpronation
ST motion
28
how does rearfoot or forefoot fixed varus lead to overpronation?
trying to get foot to contact ground ST joint pronates
29
what are some dysfunctions that can happen as a result of overpronation?
medial knee pain Patellofemoral dysfunction PFPS/instability overuse syndromes (ITB, shin splints, achilles/patellar tendinopathy) low back and pelvis pain stress fractures origins from hip and knee or foot
30
at about _______ into gait cycle the entire stance limb begins to _____ its horizontal plane motion from _______ rotation to ______ rotation
15-20% reverse internal to external (swing phase of contralateral LE)
31
at ______ of gait cycle the pronated STJ moves towards supination by ______ ____ the medial and longitudinal arch are lifted and the mid and forefoot move into supination
30-35% late stance
32
orthosis controls ______ ______ to bring the floor to the foot
excessive pronation medial wedging
33
what is the reasoning behind orthotics? (5)
optimizes mid stance alignment to reduce demand on musculature (post tib) optimizes alignment of bones/joints changes kinematic sequencing support to medial tissues
34
what does the Lisfranc's joints separate? where?
midfoot to forefoot at base of metatarsals and cuneiforms/cuboid
35
the least amount of motion/stability at the Lisfranc's joints is at the ______
2nd and 3rd metatarsals
36
in early midstance the medial column ______ 5 deg the cuneiform depresses and forces 1st ray ______ it ________ before push off
DF upward reverses
37
what ligaments make up the intermetatarsal joint?
plantar ligaments dorsal ligaments interosseous ligaments
38
which intermetatarsal joints are synovial joints?
3-5 (1st & 2nd not)
39
metatarsophalangeal joint: ______ head of metatarsal to shallow _______ of phalanx (______ mm proximal to web space of toes)
convex concavity 2.5 mm
40
what is at the metatarsophalangeal joint?
capsule collateral ligaments plantar plate (grooved passage for flexor tendons)
41
how many degrees of freedom are at the metatarsophalangeal joint?
2 flx/ext and abd/add
42
what is hallux limitus or rigidus or turf toe?
marked limitations of motion pain at MTP (<55 deg) may adapt to walking on the outside of the foot
43
how does hallux limitus happen?
frequently forceful hyperextension
44
hallux limitus can fracture what?
sesamoids
45
what is hallux valgus?
progressive lateral deviation of great toe and adduction of metatarsal
46
what promotes greater deformity of hallux valgus?
tendons displaced relative to the joint
47
what are some things that could lead to hallux valgus?
tightness of achilles incorrect footwear excessive rearfoot valgus instability of 1st ray can get hammer 2nd toe metatarsalgia bursitis at bunion
48
what can be done for hallux valgus?
orthotic support surgery
49
interphalangeal joint: - _____ head and ______ base of more distal one - what is at the joint? - DOF?
- convex; concave - ligaments, capsules, plates - 1: flx/ext
50
what is the windlass mechanism?
fascia transmits force from calcaneus to base of toes for push off
51
windlass mechanism in normal foot: toe ______ --> _____ tension in fascia --> ______ arch in foot & strengthens the midfoot and forefoot --> bones of foot become ________ --> leads to ______
DF increased raises tightly packed propulsion
52
windlass mechanism in pes planus (flat foot): ** remember pes planus has poorly supported medial arch forefoot _____ under load of body weight reduced extension of metatarsophalangeal joints _____ usefulness of of windlass effect arch remains _______ and midfoot and forefoot are ______
sags limits flattened; unstable
53
how do you check the windlass effect?
have patient stand on tiptoes
