The muscles of the lower leg are divided into these.
What are compartments?
100
These are the 3 types of ankle sprains.
What are lateral, medial, and high?
100
A "Jones Fracture" occurs at the base of this foot bone.
What is the 5th metatarsal?
100
The syndesmosis is the connection between these two bones.
What are the tibia and fibula?
100
Of ankle taping, lace up brace, and stirrup brace this has been proven to offer the most protection.
What is a stirrup brace?
200
This is the most common mechanism of injury for shin splints and stress fractures of the tibia.
What is overuse?
200
This is the mechanism of injury for a medial ankle sprain.
What is eversion?
200
This tough connective tissue at the bottom of the foot sometimes becomes inflamed because of a tight Achilles tendon.
What is the plantar fascia?
200
These are the four bones that make up the ankle joint.
What are the tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneous?
200
This anatomical landmark is the distal fibula.
What is the lateral malleolus?
300
These are 3 factors that can influence shin splints.
What are running surface, shoes, lack of conditioning, sudden increase in training
300
These are the signs and symptoms an AT uses to determine the severity of an ankle sprain.
What are swelling, laxity, and weight bearing?
300
This sprain of the great toe joint doesn't sound bad until it happens to you.
What is Turf Toe?
300
The 3 cuneiforms, the navicular, and the cuboid bones make up this bone group.
What are the tarsals?
300
This test is a good indicator of readiness to play following an ankle sprain.
What is the "hop test"?
400
Tibialis anterior is the muscle mainly responsible for this ankle/foot movement.
What is dorsiflexion?
400
these are the 4 movements of the ankle.
What are plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, eversion, and inversion?
400
The longitudinal and the transverse are two of these anatomical structures of the foot.
What are arches?
400
Gastrocnemius and soleus are responsible for this ankle movement.
What is plantar flexion?
400
This is why a high ankle sprain is considered a very frustrating injury to deal with.
What is because it won't respond to normal ankle sprain treatment and rehab?
500
This is the sign that Anterior Compartment Syndrome has become a medical emergency.
What is "drop foot"?
500
These are the advantages and disadvantages of taping an ankle.
What are it is custom fit, and feels better....doesn't protect as well as a brace, not as cost effective as a brace?
500
Someone who overpronates will likely have this type of arch.
What is a low arch or flat foot?
500
This anatomical landmark is the distal end of the tibia.
What is the medial malleolus?
500
These are three goals in the early treatment of a sprained ankle.
What is reduce pain, reduce swelling, regain weight bearing, restore range of motion?
