Pitting Edema
Gliding movement of a joint
Translation
Compartment of the lower leg that contains the tibialus anterior and exterior muscles of the foot; predisposed to compartment syndrome
Anterior Compartment
Condition in which swelling, acute or chronic, compresses the vascular supply to the foot, reducing function and increasing the risk of atrophic necrosis
Anterior Compartment Syndrome
Compartment of the lower leg that contains peroneus longus and peroneus brevis
Lateral Compartment
Responsible for eversion of the foot
Peroneus longus/brevis
Compartment of the lower leg that contains the flexors of the foot and toes
Deep Posterior Compartment
Compartment of the lower leg that contains the gastrocnemius and the soleus
Superficial Compartment
Single joint calf muscle that is isolated with plantar flexion while the knee is flexed
Soleus
Two-joint muscle that is responsible for both plantar flexion and knee flexion
Gastrocnemius
Thick wide band of fibrous tissue that supports the foot against downward forces
Plantar facia
Inflamation of the synovial sheath around a tendon
Tenosynovitis
Space between the tibia and fibula in the lower leg
Syndesmosis
“hinge” that connects the ends of the tibia and fibula in the lower leg
Ankle mortise
Side to side movement of the ankle joint (inversion/eversion movement)
Subtalar tilt
Distal interphalangeal joint; joint at the most distal end of the finger and toes
DIP
Proximal interphalangeal joint; joint of the fingers and toes nearest to the hand/foot
