Anatomy
This is the insertion of the gastrocnemius and soleus
Calcaneus via the Achilles tendon
This injury develops secondary to callus formation, bursal thickening, and excessive bone formation. It presents as hallux valgus.
Bunion
What location would be best for assessing the L5 dermatome?
Anterior lower leg or Toes 2-4
These ligaments are the most likely to be involved in an inversion ankle sprain.
Anterotalofibular ligament
Calcaneofibular ligament
This special test is used to determine whether the Achilles is intact.
Thompson Test
This ligament originates at the sustentaculum tali and inserts at the navicular tubercle. Its purpose is to stabilize the medial longitudinal arch.
Spring Ligament
This condition is described as having a second toe longer than the first toe
Morton's Toe
Which actions occur at the subtalar joint?
Inversion & Eversion
What are two predisposing factors that might lead to medial tibial stress syndrome?
Excessive pronation
Inflexibility of the calf, Achilles, posterior tibialis, or long toe flexors
Dorsiflexor weakness or fatigue
Pes Cavus or Pes Planus
Name one special test used to assess a high ankle sprain
Modified Kleiger's Test
Squeeze Test
The fibularis brevis has an insertion at which location?
The tuberosity of the 5th metatarsal
How many arches are there within the foot and what are there names? Need them all for the points.
Medial Longitudinal Arch
Lateral Longitudinal Arch
Transverse Arch
Metatarsal Arch
What is the primary muscle being tested when doing a MMT for Dorsiflexion?
Tibialis Anterior
This is the name of the condition in which there is inflammation of the synovial sheath of a tendon, rather than the tendon itself.
Tenosynovitis
These are the guidelines that are gold standard to determine if an x ray is necessary to rule out a fracture of the ankle or foot.
Ottowa Ankle Rules
Name two muscles that perform inversion
Tibialis anterior
Tibialis posterior
Flexor digitorum longus
Flexor hallucis longus
Extensor hallucis longus
This condition is described as eversion of the forefoot relative to the hind foot and presents as Pes Cavus during weight bearing.
Forefoot Valgus
Where would you assess the sensory function of the tibial nerve?
Posterior heel
Lateral ankle/foot
This is the nerve involved in tarsal tunnel syndrome
Posterior tibial nerve
This test is used to determine whether there is a calcaneal fracture
Hoffa's Test
What is the insertion of the flexor digitorum longus?
Distal phalanges of toes 2-5
This toe deformity involves hyperextension of the MTP joint and flexion of the DIP and PIP joints.
Claw Toes
What action would you ask your patient to perform to test the motor function of the deep peroneal nerve?
Great toe extension
Toe extension
Dorsiflexion
Jones Fracture
This special test is used to assess for pes planus or pes cavus and involves making a line from the tip of the medial malleolus to the base of the 1st MTP joint and noting where the navicular falls relative to the line.
