This motion should be restored to improve dorsiflexion during gait.
What is posterior glide of the talus on the tibia?
Runner with medial tibial pain, diffuse tenderness >5 cm, worsens with activity, improves with rest, negative imaging early on.
What is medial tibial stress syndrome?
A side-to-side difference greater than ~2 cm in this test is associated with increased lower extremity injury risk.
What is the weight-bearing lunge test?
Current best evidence supports this loading strategy over eccentric-only protocols for Achilles tendinopathy.
What is heavy slow resistance training?
The length of time for toenails to grow from root to tip.
What is 1.5 years?
A joint that contributes to inversion/eversion adaptability during midstance and should be assessed in chronic ankle instability.
What is the subtalar joint?
Patient has lateral ankle pain after inversion injury with clicking, tenderness, and swelling over the anterolateral foot and pain with weightbearing. Has a negative anterior drawer but persistent pain over the talus.
What is an osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT), osteochondral defect (OCD), or talar dome lesion?
Deficits in this neuromuscular category are strongly associated with recurrent ankle sprains and should be assessed dynamically.
What is proprioception?
This parameter is critical for tendon adaptation and should be progressed regardless of pain within acceptable limits.
What is load?
Name of the 2nd toe being longer than the 1st.
What is a Morton's toe?
Bonus 100+ What percentage of people have this?
A quick, low-amplitude thrust to restore motion for squatting.
What is a manipulation to the talocrural joint?
50+ points for demonstration
A patient has heel pain that improves with activity but worsens with prolonged loading, with imaging showing thickened fascia but poor correlation to symptoms.
What is plantar fasciopathy?
This clinical test helps differentiate syndesmotic injury from lateral ankle sprain by reproducing distal pain.
What is the squeeze test?
Bonus: 25+ for demonstration
A modification for a runner with insertional Achilles tendinopathy worsens with eccentric heel drops off a step.
What is performing heel raises on flat ground (avoiding dorsiflexion compression)?
Carlys middle name.
What is Nicole?
In patients with chronic ankle instability, manual therapy is thought to improve function primarily through this mechanism rather than structural change.
What is neurophysiological modulation?
also accept: pain modulation or improved motor control
A patient reports urning dorsal foot pain and paresthesias exacerbated by tight shoewear.
What is superficial peroneal (fibular) nerve entrapment?
A dynamic test where the PT can observe heel alignment to assess subtalar compensation and posterior tibialis function.
What is a single-leg heel raise?
A modification for a runner with a low-grade tibial bone stress injury that is pain-free with walking but develops symptoms within 2 minutes of jogging.
What is delaying return to running while maintaining aerobic fitness with cross-training until symptom-free loading is achieved?
Contrary to popular belief, systematic reviews suggest this factor has weak or inconsistent association with running injury risk.
What is foot strike pattern?
This specific midfoot articulation, when hypomobile, can impair windlass mechanism efficiency and push-off mechanics.
What is the first tarsometatarsal joint? aka 1st ray.
A key differentiator of retrocalcaneal bursitis from insertional achilles tendinopathy based on location and compression/palpation sensitivity.
Bonus 50+: This shoe makes bursitis feel better.
What is deeper and diffuse pain and pain with dorsiflexion compression?
Bonus: What is barefoot/flipflops/openheel?
The Ottawa Ankle and Foot Rules
need all 4!
What is x-ray indicated with bone tenderness at the distal 6 cm of the posterior tibia or fibula, inability to weightbear both immediately and in the emergency department, or isolated navicular or base of 5th metatarsal tenderness?
Blood work for distance runner with recurrent tibial bone stress injuries, fatigue, and delayed healing is suspected of having low energy availability.
need 3/5 correct - general names
What is a iron panel, CBC, Vit D, hormone, and metabolic panel?
not including the sesamoid bones, this is the smallest bone in the foot.
What is the distal phalanx of the 5th toe?
