Lecture 15: Leg and foot pt2 Flashcards
(81 cards)
Name arches of foot
Medial longitudinal arch
Lateral longitudinal arch
Transverse arch
What are arch functions
Load absorption - cushion weight
Increases rigidity for propulsion - stiffen foot
Some energy storage - when stretch, when foot arches recoil = energy returned to us
What does each arch have
Has a keystone tarsal - a bone at apex of the arch that helps maintain its shape
Prevents collapsing - provides stability, sit at top/Apex kinda
Keystone for medial longitudinal arch
Talus
Keystone for lateral longitudinal arch
Cuboid
Keystone for transverse arch
Intermediate cuneiform
Name ligaments for arches of foot soft tissues - longitudinal arch support
Spring ligament
Long plantar ligament
Plantar aponeurosis
Takes in energy and can return it
Name ligaments for arches of foot soft tissues - transverse arch support
Tendon of Tibialis posterior and Fibualris longus
Dynamic stability - bc can contract, support and absorb load
What supports arches
Arches receive passive support from ligaments and dynamic/active stability from muscles of leg and intrinsic foot
Name muscles of dorsum of foot
Extensor digitorum brevis
Extensor hallucis brevis
Extensor digitorum brevis attachments
Calcaneus to tendons of extensor digitorum longus on digits 2-4
Extensor digitorum brevis functions
Extension of metatarsal phalangeal joints and proximal interphalangeal joints of digits 2-4
Extensor hallucis brevis attachments
Calcaneus- with extensor digtorum brevis to proximal phalanx of hallux
Extensor hallucis brevis fucntions
Extension of hallux at metatarsalphalangeal joints
Describe how extensor hallucis and digitorum brevis pass through ankle
Pass under superior and inferior extensor retinacula
2 brevis msucles are synergists with their respective longus muscles
But without actions at ankle joint
Describe intrinsic msucles - sole of foot - all layers
Sole - plantar surface of foot consists of 4 layers of msucles located deep to plantar aponeurosis/fascia - underneath
Layer 1 = 3 components
Layer 2 = 4 components
Layer 3 = 3 components
Layer 4 = 4 components
Components = musclotendinous units
Describe plantar aponeurosis
Aka plantar fascia
Tough fascial sheet on plantar surface of the foot, anchored to calcaneus and metatarsal heads- also provides passive support to medial longitudinal arch
Maintain longitudinal arches, absorb energy
Describe clinical correlate for plantar aponeurosis
Can lead to inflammation - of plantar fascia at its attachment to calcaneus
Common in athletes who perform exercises with frequent heel striking and individuals who are obese bc load with more weight repetively
Describe 1st layer instrinsic plantar muscles
3 msucles = abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, abductor digiti minimi
Describe tendons of intrinsic plantar muscles 1st layer
Tendon of flexor digitorum brevis splits to let the tendon of flexor digitorum longus to pass through to distal phalanx
Attachments flexor digitorum brevis
Calcaneus to middle phalanx toes 2-5
fucntions flexor digitorum brevis
Flexion of lateral 4 toes at metatarsal phalangeal joints and proximal interphalangeal joints
Synergists to flexor digitorum longus
Attachments abductor digiti minimi
Calcaneus o lateral base of proximal phalanx 5
fucntions abductor digiti minimi
Abduction of metatarsal phalangeal 5
