ontogeny Flashcards
for normal stance to occur pelvis should be
parellel to the frontal and sagittal plane
for normal stance to occur legs should be
in sagittal plane
for normal stance to occur subtalar joint should be
in neautral position
for normal stance to occur midtarsal joint should be
locked and maximally pronated
for normal stance to occur the full plantar surface of the foot
should rest on the ground
for normal stance to occur all metatarsal heads should
bear the weight
for normal stance to occur the forefoot
parallels the plantar aspect of rearfoot
for normal stance to occur muscle effort is
not necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the foot
in normal stance, gastrocnemius contraction occurs
to plantarflex the ankle joint allowing for half of the body weight to be transferred to the forefoot
neutral position most commonly discussed relative to the
subtalar joint
for most joints neutral position is the position where
it most has congruity
Neutral position is a position in which
compression forces are maximized and rotational forces are minimized
compression forces are bad or good?
Good
subtalar joint neutral position
where the subtalar joint is neither pronated or supinated
how many points of weight bearing under metatrsal heads
6
2 under the 1st metatarsal head and
1 for each of the lesser metatarsal heads
what should be the position of metatarsals in order for midtarsal joit to be locked and for the metatarsal heads to bear weight
metatrsals 2-4 should be in the maximally dorsiflexed position
inorder for metatarsal heads 1-5 to bear weight properly, they should be
in the center of their ranges of motion
the 1st and 5th rays have independent axis of motion
clinical criteria for normal stance- the knee
in the frontal plane
clinical criteria for normal stance-the tibia
perpendicular to the ground
clinical criteria for normal stance-the ankle joint
should be 90º
clinical criteria for normal stance-the subtalar joint
should be in neutral position ( no deviation from the sagittal plane )
if the calcaneous is inverted, the midtarsal
will be supinated
clinical criteria for normal stance-the midtarsal joint
should be maximally pronated
clinical criteria for normal stance-the 1st and 5th rays are
at the centers of their independent ranges of motion
clinical criteria for normal stance-the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rays
are maximally dorsiflexed
clinical criteria for normal stance-the bisection of the posterior surface of the calcaneus is
perpendicular to the supporting surface
a line connecting the 5 metatarsal heads is
parallel to the supporting surface
perpendicular to the calcaneal bisection
the fetus’ hip joint should be
externally rotated and maximally flexed
the fetus’s legs should be
inernally rotated with the knees maximally flexed
the fetus’s feet should be
plantarflexed and inverted
in utero what is the position of left leg in in relation to right leg
the left leg is usually over the right leg
in fetal position , the hip is
- flexed
- abducted
- externally rotated
in the adult hip is
- neither flexed or extended (vertical)
- at the intersection of the frontal and sagittal planes (neither adducted or abducted )
- at the center of range of motion in the transverse plane
angle of inclination
the angle formed by a line bisecting the neck of the femur and a line bisecting the long axis of the femur
angle of inclination is a ——–plane evaluation
FRONTAL
angle of inclination >140
male —because hip is smaller
angle of inclination <140
female
normal range for angle of inclination at birth
135º-140º
