Questions
Q: What does a pedorthist do?
Ans: A pedorthist understands the properties of footwear and the interaction
between a patient's foot and the device or shoe, which makes them skilled at
evaluating feet and fitting footwear
Q: Anatomical planes
Ans: Coronal, sagittal, transverse
Q: Columns of the foot
Ans: Medial - 1st metatarsal, medial cuneiform
Middle - 2nd/3rd metatarsal, intermediate/lateral cuneiform
Lateral - 4th/5th metatarsal, cuboid
Q: Sections of the foot
,Ans: Forefoot - distal phalanges 1-5, intermediate phalanges 2-5, proximal
phalanges 1-5, metatarsals 1-5
Midfoot - medial/intermediate/lateral cuneiforms, cuboid, navicular
Hindfoot (rearfoot) - talus, calcaneus
Q: Name the joints of the foot and ankle complex
Ans: Talocrural (ankle); subtalar (talocalcaneal); transverse tarsal
(midtarsal, Chopart) [talonavicular, calcaneocuboid]; tarsometatarsal
(Lisfranc); metatarsophalangeal (MTP); proximal/distal interphalangeal (PIPs,
DIPs)
Q: Type of joint & motions: talocrural
Ans: Hinge; dorsiflexion, plantarflexion
Q: Type of joint & motions: subtalar
Ans: Oblique condyloid; pronosupination
Q: Type of joint & motions: transverse tarsal
,Ans: TN - ball & socket; inversion, eversion
CC - modified saddle; inversion, eversion
[oblique, longitudinal]

Ans: Condyloid; DF, PF, adduction, abduction, circumduction
Q: Type of joint & motions: interphalangeal
Ans: Hinge; flexion, extension
Q: Four levels of PF amputation
Ans: Subtalar, Chopart, Lisfranc, MTP
Q: 4 purposes of the foot
Ans: Shock absorption, rigid propulsion, adverse terrain, structural platform
, Q: Three arches of the foot
Ans: Medial longitudinal, lateral longitudinal, transverse
Q: Bones of medial arch
Ans: Calcaneus, navicular, all 3 cuneiforms, mets 1-3
Q: Bones of the lateral arch
Ans: Lateral tubercle of calcaneus, cuboid, mets 4-5
