What is the special test for plantar Fasciitis and describe how you would perform it on a patient?
Windlass test
200
What are the attachments of the extensor digitorum longus
- Lateral condyle of the tibia, upper three fourths of the anterior surface of fibula, interosseous membrane
- Inserts into distal phalanx of lateral 4 toes
300
describe the attachments and function of the spring ligament?
- arises on sustentaculum tali and inserts on inferior navicular bone
- the spring ligament supports the head of the talus and talonavicular joint
- it is also one of the main static stabilizers of the medial longitudinal arch
- forms the “floor and medial wall” of the talonavicular joint
300
how many degrees of freedom are there at the talonavicular joint
three degrees of freedom
300
What are some late phase exercises for plantar fasciitis?
- Walking incline on a treadmill
- Box lift or box carry
- Deadlift
- Heel raises
300
Name and describe a special test for the meniscus
- Thessaly
- McMurray
- Apley
300
Describe the procedure of a MMT of the Fibularis Longus
Patient is sideling, have them invert and plantar flex their foot. Then push them into eversion. Push on lateral aspect of foot
400
describe the attachments and function of the plantar calcaneocuboid ligament (long plantar ligament)?
- Arises from the plantar surface of the calcaneus and inserts on the plantar surface of the bases of the lateral 3 or 4 metatarsal bones
- provides support for the lateral longitudinal arch and calcaneocuboid joint
400
Which ligaments give support to the talonavicular joint
What is the purpose of anterior and posterior Knee gapping?
To increase ROM at the end range of flexion and extension
400
What are the components of the Ottawa ankle rule?
X-ray is indicated if there is bony pain in the malleolar zone and any one of the following:
Tenderness at distal 6 cm of posterior edge of tibia or tip of medial malleolus
Tenderness at distal 6 cm of posterior edge of fibula or tip of lateral malleolus
Inability to bear weight both immediately after injury and in the ED for 4 steps
400
What are the actions of the Tibialis anterior
Dorsiflexion and inversion
500
A lateral rotation of the leg in weight bearing will create will create which type of motion at the transverse tarsal joint relative to the subtalar joint ?
Lateral rotation of the leg will create supination at subtalar joint which will create relative PRONATION at the transverse tarsal joint
500
What are the two independent axis of the transverse tarsal joint and what are the main components of supination and pronation in each axis?
- Oblique axis
o Pronation is abduction and dorsiflexion
o Supination is adduction and plantar flexion
- Longitudinal axis
o Pronation is eversion
o Supination is inversion
500
What are the sets and reps for joint mobs and joint mobs with movement?
