ch 16 lower leg/ankle/foot conditions

which of the following is correct? A. an individual who has sustained a grade I inversion ankle sprain will report hearing a "pop" and will be able to bear weight immediately after the injury B. swelling and ecchymosis are accurate indicators of the severity of an inversion sprain C. an individual who has sustained a grade II inversion ankle sprain will be able to bear some weight, but definitely walks with a limp D. an individual who has sustained a grade III inversion ankle sprain will report hearing a "pop" and be able to bear some weight, but definitely walks with a limp

D. an individual who has sustained a grade III inversion ankle sprain will report hearing a "pop" and be able to bear some weight, but definitely walks with a limp

t/f? stress fractures of the tibia and fibula result from repetitive stress to the leg leading to muscle fatigue

true

t/f? turf toe is a sprain of the plantar capsular ligament of the first MTP joint

true

acute rupture of the Achilles tendon is more commonly seen in individuals between the ages of

30 to 50

an individual reports to the coach with a complaint of localized tenderness over the Achilles tendon that began approximately two weeks earlier, morning stiffness to the area, and pain with active and passive motions involving the Achilles tendon. the coach should... A. assess the condition B. permit the individual to participate in activities as normal, but encourage the individual to see a physician as soon as possible C. not permit the individual to participate in activities until being seen by a physician D. apply ice and compression to the area as well as fit the individual for crutches

C. not permit the individual to participate in activities until being seen by a physician

in an inversion ankle sprain, the first ligament to tear is the

anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL)

supination is the combination of the movements of

calcaneal inversion, foot adduction, plantar flexion

the ligaments that stabilize the lateral aspect of the ankle include each of the following except the: A. anterior talofibular ligament B. deltoid ligament C. posterior talofibular ligament D. calcaneofibular ligament

deltoid ligament

t/f? as stress is applied to the ankle during plantar flexion and inversion, the first ligament to tear is the calcaeofibular ligament

false

t/f? in an acute compartment syndrome, signs of neurovascular compression will develop after the individual stops exercising.

false

which of the following is the most common ankle sprain A. Inversion sprain B. Eversion sprain C. Syndesmosis sprain D. No one ankle sprain is more common than another

inversion sprain

a common mechanism of injury for a turf toe is

jamming the toe into the end of the shoe

the least stable position of the ankle is

plantar flexion

the common mechanism for a lateral ankle sprain is

plantar flexion and inversion

which of the following statements is true? A. a sign of an Achilles tendon rupture is that the individual hears a "pop" in the posterior ankle B. an individual with an Achilles tendon rupture will be able to balance on the affected leg C. a suspected Achilles tendon rupture requires summoning of EMS D. achilles tendon ruptures typically occur at the musculotendinous junction

A. a sign of an Achilles tendon rupture is that the individual hears a "pop" in the posterior ankle

the immediate management of a suspected acute compartment syndrome includes I) Application of cold II) Application of a compression wrap III) Elevation of the lower leg IV) Total rest V) Immediate referral to an emergency room VI) Referral to a physician prior to return to activity A. I, II, III, IV, and V B. I, II, III, IV, and VI C. I, IV, and V D. I, IV, and VI

C

t/f? the mechanism of injury for an acute compartment syndrome is typically related to training errors (e.g., too much activity too soon.)

false

t/f? the type of footwear worn for an activity has minimal impact on the prevention of injuries to the foot and ankle

false

prolonged pressure against the medial aspect of the first MTP joint that leads to thickening of the medial capsule and bursa and results in a severe valgus deformity of the great toe is referred to as

hallus valgus

the _______ is the main body stabilizer during walking or running

hallux

which of the following predisposes an individual to eversion ankle sprains

hypermobile feet

what is a common injury associated with pes plamus?

medial tibial stress syndrome

medial tibial stress syndrome is aggravated by

resisted planter flexion

t/f? because the lateral malleolus extends further down than the medial malleolus, inversion sprains are more common than eversion sprains

true

t/f? if an acute compartment syndrome is not managed properly, irreversible damage can occur within 12 - 24 hours.

true

t/f? management of a contusion to the gastrocnemius includes the application of cold and placing the muscle in a stretched position

true

an excessively high arch that does not flatten during weight bearing is referred to as

pes cavus

inversion and eversion movement occur primarily at the

subtalar joint

the true ankle joint is the

talocrural joint
