Bones
This bone is situated between the distal tibia and the calcaneus.
What is the talus
structure where the gastrocnemius, soleus and plantaris insert into AND where does that structure attach
What is Achilles tendon to the calcaneus
2 actions of the gastrocnemius
what is plantarflexion and knee flexion
This ligament rarely gets injured because it is strong, has 4 bands and eversion mechanism is not as common.
what is the Deltoid ligament
This ligament helps maintain the medial longitudinal arch of the foot and is called the Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament. The other name is...
What is the spring ligament?
Distal end of the tibia
What is the medial malleolus
This muscle originates on the lateral, proximal aspect of the tibia and inserts into the base of the first metatarsal
What is Tibialis anterior
plantarflexion
What ligament is the most commonly injured?
Anterio Talofibular ligament (ATFL)
Toe extensors are located on this aspect of the foot...
dorsal (top) or anterior
distal end of the fibula
What is the lateral malleolus
the muscle group starts at the fibular head and hooks around the lateral malleolus to evert the foot
What is peroneals?
What muscles extends the big toe?
Extensor hallicus
Name a ligament or affected structure with a high ankle sprain.
Interosseous ligament
Anterior tibiofibular ligament
Describe how to palpate the fibular head
Start at the tibial tuberosity and slide your fingers 3-4 inches laterally.
largest metatarsal
1st
The 3 ligaments that attach to the lateral malleolus
anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament and posterior talofibular ligament
action of the anterior tibialis
dorsiflexion
most common mechanism to sprain the lateral ankle ligaments
tissue connects bone to bone
what is a ligament
location of the sesamoid bones
Where is the plantar aspect (bottom) of the head of the 1st metatarsal and run within the flexor hallucis tendon
These ligaments attach to the medial malleolus.
Deltoid ligament: (Anterior tibiotalar, Posterior tibiotalar,Tibiocalcaneal, Tibionavicular)
Demonstrate how to palpate the soleus muscle.
Patient knee is in flexion, has patient plantarflexion and relax while palpating the lateral aspects of the low leg
type of fracture that is chronic and causes small cracks in the bone
What is a stress fracture
3 muscles hook around the medial malleolus
posterior tibialis, flexordigitorum, flexor hallicus
