Tenderness to palpation over the medial calcaneal tubercle is a tell-tale sign of this pathology
Plantar fasciitis
Sesamoiditis can result from this repetitive motion of this appendage
Great toe hyperextension
The integrity of this structure is being assessed with the inversion talar tilt test
Calcaneofibular (CF) ligament
This muscle is responsible for dorsiflexion and inversion
Tibialis anterior
The bottom of my foot feels like it's cramping
Medial longitudinal arch sprain
This pathology comes with this pretty obvious deformity of the great toe
Hallux valgus
This condition, common in adolescents, will present with pain over the calcaneus
Sever's Disease (calcaneal apophysitis)
During the Pencil Test, pressure is applied to the foot at this anatomical location
Between 3rd and 4th MT
This articulation allows for dorsiflexion and plantarflexion
Talocrural joint
My shins feel like they're burning during warmups
Medial tibial stress syndrome
This pathology is characterized by a “locking” sensation in the ankle
Osteochondritis dessicans
This population is particularly susceptible to Achillies tendon ruptures
Middle-aged males
To perform the syndesmotic separation test, the clinician moves the patient’s ankle in these motions to replicate the MOI
Dorsiflexion and lateral rotation
This bone serves as the keystone of the medial longitudinal arch
Navicular
My toes go numb by the end of my run
An athlete who is unable to dorsiflex may have an impairment to this nerve root
L4
History of MTSS can lead to this pathology that has similar, but more localized, symptoms
Stress fracture
Provocation of numbness and tingling when percussing over this nerve is a positive Tinel’s Sign
Posterior tibial nerve
The articulation of the 1st MT, 2nd MT, and cuboid are more commonly referred to by this name
Lisfrank joint
There's a squeaky feeling in the back of my ankle when I walk
Achilles tendonitis
Normal arches that “fall flat” on standing are characteristic of this biomechanical deformity
Supple pes planus
Distance runners who overpronate may experience pain in the medial lower leg caused by this pathology
Posterior tibialis tendonitis
Inability to weight bear, take 4 steps, or tenderness to palpation over these structures indicates a positive Ottawa Ankle Rules
Distal 6cm of the tibia, distal 6cm of the fibula, medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, navicular, base of 5th MT
Muscles of the anterior compartment of the lower leg primarily perform these actions
Dorsiflexion and toe extension
There's a throbbing pain in my foot that keeps me up at night
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
