Q

CASE: D.C. a 21 y/o male has been referred for PT mx 2° Gr. 2 (R) ankle sprain. Condition started 2 years ago when he fell from spike landing during volleyball practice. Pt continued to train and asked for a manghihilot to treat his sprain afterwards. Pain was relieved and pt continued to live normal s difficulties. After 2 months, pt suddenly experienced pain on his (R) lateral malleolus during swimming. Since then, pt reports of pain upon jumping and heavy impact on foot.

Based on the scenario, the following may be used as PT tx, EXCEPT:

A. Cryotherapy on (R) ankle in supine x 15 mins to decrease pain.
B. Cryotherapy on (R) ankle in sitting x 10 mins to decrease pain.
C. HMP on (R) ankle in supine x 20 mins to decrease pain.

After 2 months, pt suddenly experienced pain on his (R) lateral malleolus during swimming. Since then, pt reports of pain upon jumping and heavy impact on foot.

Based on the scenario, the following interventions are indicated for the pt on the 1st PT session, EXCEPT:

A. Ankle Rotations in clockwise and counterclockwise direction in supine x 10 reps x 3 sets to facilitate ROM
B. Mechanical Resistance using red theraband towards inversion in supine x 10 reps x 3 sets to strengthen ankle
C. Partial wall squats x 6 SH x 10 reps to increase ankle stability
D. Toe raises x 10 SH x 10 reps to increase ankle stability

A

B. Mechanical Resistance using red theraband towards inversion in supine x 10 reps x 3 sets to strengthen

NOTE: since inversion is MOI, it’s best to stabilize ankle first rather than strengthen it on the 1st session.

30
Q

A

Pronation

31
Q

In the closed-chain, weight-bearing
foot, supination of the subtalar and transverse tarsal joints with a pronation twist of the forefoot (plantarflexion of the first metatarsal and dorsiflexion of the fifth metatarsal) increases the arch of the foot. This is the ___ position of the joints of the foot.

A

Close-packed or stable

Note: This is the position the foot
assumes when a rigid lever is needed to propel the body
forward during the push-off phase of ambulation

Source: Kisner 7th ed p851

32
Q

During weight bearing, pronation of the
subtalar and transverse tarsal joints causes the arch of the foot to lower, and there is a relative supination of the forefoot with dorsiflexion of the first metatarsal and plantarflexion of the fifth metatarsal. This is the ___ position of the joints of the foot.

A

Loose-packed or mobile

Note: This position is assumed when the foot absorbs the impact
of weight bearing and rotational forces of the rest of the lower
extremity and when the foot conforms to the ground.

Source: Kisner 7th ed p851

33
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Anatomically, the superior and inferior tibiofibular joints are separate from the ankle, but they provide accessory motions that allow greater movement at the ankle.

True

Source: Kisner 7th ed p851

34
Q

_____ is the loose-packed position of the talocrural joint

A

Plantarflexion

35
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: When a person walks in high heels, the ankle joint is more vulnerable to injury, because the talocrural joint is in a less stable, plantarflexed position while the subtalar and transverse tarsal joints are in a close-packed position.

True

Source: Kisner 7th ed p852

36
Q

ligament, the plantar aponeurosis, and short plantar ligament

Source: Kisner 7th ed p853

43
Q

What is the phenomenon where during push-off, the foot
plantarflexes and supinates and the MTP joints go into
extension and increased tension is placed on the plantar
aponeurosis, which helps increase the arch of the foot?

A

  2. Valgus at the knee
  3. Internal rotation of the leg

46
Q

What muscle is a strong supinator and invertor
that supports the medial longitudinal arch during weight
bearing and controls and reverses pronation during the
loading response of gait?

A

Tibialis posterior

Source: Kisner 7th ed p853

47
Q

During normal standing, the gravitational line is anterior to the axis of the ankle joint, creating a dorsiflexion moment. What muscle will then contract to counter the gravitational moment through its pull on the tibia?

A

Soleus muscle

Source: Kisner 7th ed p853

48
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: During the loading response (heel strike to foot flat), the heel strikes the ground in neutral or slight supination. As the foot lowers to the ground, it begins to pronate to its loose-packed position. The entire lower extremity rotates inward, reinforcing the loose-packed position of the foot.

A

True

Source: Kisner 7th ed p854

49
Q

During midstance and continuing through terminal stance, the tibia begins to rotate ____, initiating supination of
the hindfoot and locking of the transverse tarsal joint. This
brings the foot into its close-packed position, which is reinforced as the heel rises and the foot rocks up onto the
toes.

A

Externally

Source: Kisner 7th ed p854

50
Q

A condition commonly affecting the MTP joint of the great toe, causing pain during terminal stance, resulting in
decreased stance time and lack of smooth push-off.

A

Gout

Source: Kisner 7th ed p855

51
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: In joint hypomobility pathologies, passive plantarflexion is more limited than dorsiflexion

A

True

Note: This is unless the gastrocnemius-soleus muscle
group also is shortened, in which case dorsiflexion is
limited accordingly.
