plantar fasciitis
41
compression of the posterior tibial nerve on the medial side of the ankle is known as...

most frequently injured ligament in a lateral ankle sprain
anterior talofibular ligament
44
a "high ankle sprain" would involve which structure as the primary source of pain?
tibiofibular syndesmosis
45
functional vs structural pes planus
functional: ligamentous laxity/ mm weakness structural (rigid): bony malformation, cannot be altered

25% 30%
53
normal gait patterns occur between ages of ____
8-45
54
gait deviations may occur for 3 reasons

55
in the standing position, the center of gravity is 2 inches _____ to the second sacral vertebrae
