24

37
Where are the sesamoid bones located?
- embedded in flexor hallucis brevis tendons
38

39
What does sesamoiditis result in?

- pain over sesamoids - swelling - limited big toe extension - weak/painful flexion
41
Treatment of sesamoiditis
- rest - treat inflammation - padded insoles
42
Role of plantar fascia
- shock absorber - support long arch
43
What can happen after inflammation of plantar fascia?
- degeneration of the plantar fascia
44
Mechanism of injury of plantar fasciitis
- poor biomechanics/overuse stress
45
Signs and symptoms of plantar fasciitis
- tender on palpation of medial calcaneus or along longitudinal arch - pain with 1st steps in morning - ankle/toe dorsiflexion stretch pain
46
What is the plantar fasciitis associated with?
- tight achilles
47
Treatment of plantar fasciitis
- find cause - retrain biomechanics - night splints - orthotics - shockwave - soft tissue mobility
48
Signs and symptoms of bunions (hallux valgus)
- big toe aligns towards 2nd toe - tender bump on medial metatarsophalangeal joint
49
What can bunions result from?
- genetics - poor foot mechanics - tight/narrow footwear
50
How can bunions be used as a red flag?
- signal of pronation which could be causing problems up the chain
51
How can we retrain foot mechanics?
- create a stable base - ie. balance exercises
52
How can a stable base be created?
- abduct toes - stack hip over knee over ankle - tighten core, chest up - pick other foot up
53
Tendonitis and shin splints mechanism of injury
- poor mechanics - overuse
54
Common structures affected in tendonitis and shin splints
- peroneal tendons - tibialis anterior - tom, dick and harry - achilles

- inversion sprain
72
Signs and symptoms of Jones fracture
- tender on palpation of base of 5th metatarsal - pain in weightbearing

74
Mechanism of injury of talus fracture

78
Mechanism of injury of fibula fracture
- direct blow - ankle sprain mechanism
79
Signs and symptoms of fibula fracture
- vary with severity
80
What to do as part of pre-tape assessment
- explain chosen tape job and why - ask permission - clear contraindications - check ROM that you want to limit (pre and post test) - check cap refill
81
Contraindications of taping (when not to tape)
- allergies to adhesives - immediately after injury - injury hasnt been fully assessed - return to play criteria not met - to areas of altered skin sensation - overnight - check that sport governing body allows tape
82
Indication of ankle taping (when to tape)
- chronic ankle instability from previous sprains - RTP following treatment of recent ankle sprain - when ankle bracing doesnt fit in athletic shoe properly or a sport does not permit bracing
83

- deltoid ligament
87
Which ligament does the wedge test test?
- anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament
88
