In the Fibula, distal aspect flares to become the? - correct answerLateral malleolus
Joint between the tibia, fibula, & talus is the? - correct answerTalocrural joint
What occurs in the ankle mortise joint? - correct answerPlantar flexion & dorsiflexion
How many ligaments support the lateral ankle? - correct answer3
How many ligaments support the medial ankle? - correct answer1 large, 4 part ligament
with multiple attachments. (deltoid ligament)
How many ligaments support the medial ankle? - correct answer1 plantar
calcaneonavicular ligament (spring ligament)
How many ligaments support the anterior ankle? - correct answer1 anterior tibiofibular
ligament
How many ligaments support the posterior ankle? - correct answer1 posterior tibiofibular
ligament
The plantar surface of the foot is supported by a? - correct answerBand of highly
specialized connective tissue (plantar fascia)
What does the plantar fascia do? - correct answerProvides support to the arch of the
foot during weight bearing
Anterior muscles will? - correct answerDorsiflex (DF)
Posterior muscles will? - correct answerPlantar flex (PF)
