The Ankle and Foot Complex Flashcards
(46 cards)
Three parts of foot?
Rear foot- talus calcaneus
Mid foot-navicular cuboid three cuneiform bones
Forefoot- metatarsals, phalanges
Proximal tib fib joint consists of?
Anatomically belongs to? Functionally belongs to?
Head of fibula and posterolateral aspect of tibia
Antomically belongs to the knee; functionally to the ankle foot
Medial collateral ligament (deltoid) inserts where?
Is it strong or weak?
Navicular, talus, and calcaneus
Strong
Lateral collateral ligament consists of?
Helps to limit what movement?
Weak or strong?
Anterior and posterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament
Helps to limit inversion or supination
Weaker
Concave tibial plafond plus malleoli =
Mortise
The talocrural axis inclined down laterally and posterior lay how many degrees?
Typical amount of toe out?
14 degrees laterally, 23 degrees posteriorly
20 degrees
In dorsiflexion, the head of the talus moves _____ while body of talus glides_____ in mortise
Normal ROM is?
Dorsally, plantarly
20 degrees
In plantarflexion, the head and body move____
Normal ROM?
Loose packed meaning it is?
Opposite
50 degrees
Higher incidence of ankle sprains
The shape of the talus is wider ____ than _____
In WB, as the mortise rotates over talus, the tib fib joint adjusts to widen around the ___ talus
Dorsiflexion it moves? Plantarflexion?
Dismally; proximally
Distal
DF: medial rotstion
Plantarflexion: lateral rotation
What makes up the subtalar joint?
Talus plus calcaneus
Proximally: concave talus on convex calcaneus - largest facet
Distal and medial: convex facet of inferior body and neck of talus on 2 concave facets on calcaneus
Subtalar axis inclined ____
42 degrees dorsally and distally, inclines medically 16 degrees
WB pronation=
WB Supination=
Calcaneus EV, Talan, add and PF, TiB-fib medial rotation
Calcaneus inv, take abd, and DF, tib fib lateral rotstion
Calcaneal INV=
Calcaneal EV=
Bilateral stance in____
20-30 degrees
5-10 degrees
3.5 degrees
Gait range requirements for subtalar ROM
INV at heel strike then EV?
Inv during push off?
3degrees if inversion at heel strike
Then 5.5 deg of inversion during push off
Close packed position=
Open packed position=
Supination , stable foot position
Pronation, flexible foot position
Talonavicular and calcaneocuboid form S shaped _____ line
_____ are immobile in WB
Transverse tarsal joimt
Navicular and cuboid
What is the action of the talonavicular joint?
Distal convex head of talus with concave proximally aspect of navicular
Longitudinal arches- medial and lateral
What is the keystone?
Posteriorly attached to calcaneus and anteriorly to MET heads
Medial arch is higher than lateral
Talus
What is the keystone for transverse arch?
Medial cuneiform
Arches weight bearing function?
Mobility-accept weight during early stance
Stability function- requires stiffness
Ligmentous supports of the arches?
Spring ligament
Interosseus talocalcandal ligament
Plantar aponeurosis
Cervical ligament supports posterior longitudinal arch
What is the role of the plantar aponeurosis?
Subject to tension forces during?
Windlass mechanism?
Plantar fascia runs length of foot
Toe extension
Tension contributes to foot supination and increasing longitudinal arch and rigid lever function
Bilateral stance: each talus receives?
Unilateral stance: talus receives?
50%
100%
Then from talus how much weight is distributed?
50% to calcaneus and 50% to talonavicular and calcaneocuboid
