How many individual phalanges does each toe have?

What are 2 for the first, 3 for 2nd-5th

100

This is located between the length of the tibia and fibula and helps maintain the integrity of the syndesmosis and talocrural joints

What is the interosseous membrane

100
Muscles on the posterior aspect of the ankle are responsible for this motion collectively
What is plantarflexion
100
Swelling, tenderness and crepitus over the Achilles tendon is indicative of this injury
What is Achilles tendinitis
100
85% of Ankle sprains are caused by this motion
What is excessive inversion
200

Name of the joint that we consider the ankle joint

What is the talocrural joint

200

If forced too far into inversion, you will most likely damage this ligament (most common one)

What is anterior talofibular ligament

200

These two muscles are mainly responsible for eversion

What are the fibularis brevis and longus

200

Two signs/symptoms associated with a low leg contusion

What are swelling, pain, ecchymosis

200
These motions are available at the metatarsophalangeal joints
What are flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
300
The bone that is the insertion point for the Achilles tendon
What is the calcaneus
300
This structure helps to support your longitudinal arches
What is the plantar fascia
300
This low leg muscle is also responsible for knee flexion
What is gastrocnemius
300

An injury caused by forced eversion and dorsiflexion or hyper-plantarflexion causing pain over the anterior ankle

What is syndesmosis ankle sprain

300

This acute injury is associated with gross deformity and extreme pain

What is an ankle dislocation

400
Motions that occur at the subtalar joint
What are inversion and eversion
400
This is the strongest ligament and adds stability during eversion
What is the deltoid ligament
400

The muscle that supports the medial longitudinal arch and inserts at the navicular, often associated with MTSS

What is tibialis posterior

400

Three treatments for medial tibial stress syndrome

What are stretching, heat, ultrasound, strengthening, taping arches, e-stim

400

Injury that is caused by a forced hyperextension of the great toe

What is turf toe

500

Names of the tarsal bones

What are 1st cuneiform, 2nd cuneiform, 3rd cuneiform, cuboid and navicular

500

Name the two ligaments responsible for maintaining integrity at the ankle syndesmosis

What are posterior and anterior tibiofibular ligaments (PITF and AITF)

500
These muscles are reponsible for inversion
What are tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior
500

With a lateral ankle sprain, when would you refer the athlete to a doctor?

What is when there crepitus or bony deformity, signs/symptoms consistent with a fracture

500

Explain what anterior compartment syndrome is

What is swelling of the anterior compartment of the low leg causing pain and loss of function of those muscles
