ACCURATE ANSWERS BRAND NEW EXAM ALREADY
GRADED A+ PASS
what ligament attaches b/t the lateral malleolus to the lateral calcaneus
Ans✓✓✓calcaneofibular
what axis does the talocrural joint and subtalar joints use?
Ans✓✓✓oblique axis
what is the position in which the talus is equally palpable from its medial
and lateral aspect within the subtalar joint Ans✓✓✓subtalar neutral
what are the axis of the midtarsal joints? Ans✓✓✓longitudinal and
oblique
what is the impact on the kinetic chain to the hip/pelvis if a patient
presented with limited great toe extension Ans✓✓✓supinate ankle, ER
tibia, varus knees, ER tibia, anterior pelvic tilt
T/F: if the medial heel of a shoe is worn down, the patient may
excessively pronate Ans✓✓✓true
2 factors that may restrict dorsiflexion Ans✓✓✓gastroc tightness/
Achilles tendon
, joint stiffness/ arthrokinematics issues
what is the windlass mechanism Ans✓✓✓great toe extension results in
the tightening of the plantar aponeurosis, which results in the
transformation of the foot into a rigid lever for the "push off" stage of
gait thus, assisting with ambulation
normal walking mechanics require about ___ degrees of dorsiflexion
Ans✓✓✓15
how do subtalar joint and midtarsal joint work together to create
pronation and supination Ans✓✓✓midtarsal joints mimic the movement
of the joints around them. the neighboring subtalar joints create
inversion/eversion and abduction/adduciton (provides 2/3 of the
movement). the subtalar joint continues the movement of the midtarsals
to create pronation and supination
what makes supination? Ans✓✓✓adduction, inversion, plantarflexion
what plane does supination and pronation happen in?
Ans✓✓✓transverse plane
what is the function of the transverse joint when walking on an uneven
surface Ans✓✓✓it flattens out and pronates for stability and shock
absorption and supinates for rigidity. it can also help with proprioception
and balance
