ATR 257 TEST 2 QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
When the patient "forgets" how to walk, the athletic trainer must help the patient relearn
- Answer- Neuromuscular control, which means regaining the ability to follow some
previously established motor and sensory pattern by regaining conscious control of a
specific movement until that movement becomes automatic.
Exercises essential for reestablishing neuromuscular control - Answer- More functional
strengthening exercises such as closed kinetic chain exercises
To achieve a full physiological range of motion, the joint must have - Answer- Normal
accessory motions
The peroneal nerve is - Answer- Very superficial as it runs along the lateral side of the
knee & proximal leg
Which extends more distally, the lateral malleolus or the medial malleolus? - Answer-
Lateral malleolus
What is there more of, INV or EV in the ankle? - Answer- INV
There is more INV & EV in the ankle when the ankle is? - Answer- PF than when it is
DF
The talus is wider how? - Answer- Anteriorly than it is posteriorly
When the ankle is __, the wide anterior talus sits between the tibia & fibula, therefore it
is harder for the ankle to INV & EV - Answer- DF
The foot has how many primary arches? - Answer- 3
The anterior metatarsal arch of the foot is formed by the? - Answer- MT heads
The medial longitudinal arch of the foot is formed by? - Answer- Medial calcaneus & 1st
MT head and supported by the spring ligament
The foot consists of how many bones? - Answer- 26
, What are the toes designed for? - Answer- Giving a wider base both for balance and for
propelling the body forward.
What is the name of the first toe? - Answer- Hallux
How many phalanges does the first toe have? - Answer- 2
How many phalanges do the other toes have each? - Answer- 3
What is located beneath the first Metatarsophalangeal joint? - Answer- Two sesamoid
bones
What are the functions of the two sesamoid bones? - Answer- Assist in reducing
pressure in weight bearing, increasing the mechanical advantage of the flexor tendons
of the great toe, and to act as sliding pulleys for tendons.
What are the metatarsals? - Answer- The 5 bones that lie between and articulate with
the tarsals and the phalanges, thus forming the semi movable tarsometatarsal and
metatarsophalangeal joints.
The metatarsophalangeal joints permit what type of action of the phalanges? - Answer-
Hinge
What are Phalanges? - Answer- Toes
What are Metatarsals? - Answer- Foot
What are Tarsals? - Answer- Ankle
How many bones form the toes? - Answer- 14
What is the joint between 2 phalanges? - Answer- Interphalangeal joint (IP)
What is the joint between proximal phalanx & metatarsal is a? - Answer-
Metatarsophalangeal (MP or MTP) joint
How many bones form the ankle? - Answer- 7
Where is the talus on the foot located? - Answer- On top of calcaneus between tibia &
fibula
Joints between the metatarsals & tarsals are the? - Answer- Tarsometatarsals (TMT or
TM) joints
Joint between the talus & calcaneus is the? - Answer- Subtalar joint
