Foot packet review
when observing the knee during injury evaluation, the knee should be in_______ to relieve any strain on the joint structure
30 degrees of flexion
acute rupture of the achilles tendon is more commonly seen in individuals between the ages of
30 to 35
rotary capability of the tibia with respect to the femus is maximal at approximately _________ of knee_________
90 degrees, flexion
the unhappy triad involves the
Anterior cruciate, medial menisci, tibial collateral ligament
as stress is applied to the ankle during plantar flexion and inversion, which ligament is the first to stretch
Anterior talofibular
Which of the following limits anterior translation of the talus on the tibia?
Anterior talofibular joint
Name he following ankle ligaments part of the medial collateral ligament (deltoid ligament)
Anterior tibiotalar ligament, tibiocalcaneal ligament, tibionavicular ligament, posterior tibiotalar ligament
An athlete has received a minor blow to the head of the fibula. Which of the following might sustain a contusion from this blow?
Common Peroneal Nerve
a direct blow to the anterior shin can typically result in all of the following except
Fibular fracture can cause: anterior compartment syndrome, circulatory impairment to the foot, loss of dorsiflexion
The ____________ is the main body stabilizer during walking or running
Hallux- the big toe
The closed-pack position of the talocrural joint is
Maximum dorsiflexion the opened-packed position is plantar flexion
_______ is a sure sign of interdigital neuroma
Pain that is relieved when barefooted
the muscle that unlocks the knee from its close position is the
Popliteus
If this tendon ruptures, collapse of the midfoot and hyperpronation may be visible
Tibialis Posterior
deceleration and internal rotation of the tibia are primary mechanisms of injury for
anteromedial rotary instability
you suspect that an athlete has a patellar dislocation, which of the following should be preformed to evaluate this condition
apprehension test
death of tissue due to insufficient blood supply
avascular necrosis
an athlete has developed a synovial herniation in the popliteal space. this condition is termed
bakers cyst
the dynamic medial stabilizers of the knee include all but
bicep femoris include: semitendinosus, gracilis, vastus medialis oblique
the primary support for the medial longitudinal arch
calcaneonavicular ligament
a blow to the posterolateral aspect of the knee can contuse the
common peroneal nerve
after placing ice on an acutely injured knee, an athlete develops parenthesis down the lateral aspect of the injured knee. What might account for this?
common peroneal nerve paresthesia
the nerve that innervates the anterior compartment of the lower leg
deep peroneal nerve
with excessive dorsiflexsion and eversion, the talus is thrust laterally and can
fracture the lateral malleolus
Stretching the ______ helps decrease shortening of the plantar fascia
gastrocnemius
immediate swelling of the knee after acute injury usually indicates
intraarticular injury
all of the following signs and symptoms indicate a ruptured achilles tendon except
limps with the foot and leg internally rotated is a sign: excessive passive dorsiflexion, inability to stand on the toes, individuals hear or feels a popping sensation
Excessive or prolonged pronation in running, which leads to pain in the distal third of the medial tibial border not associated with a stress fracture, is typically
medial tibial stress syndrome
Larsen- Johansson disease involves all but which
occurs at the tibial tubercle involves: occurs at the prepubescent athlete, occurs at the inferior pole of the patella, occurs from excessive strain on the patellar tendon
________ is a condition often associated with a tight lateral retinaculum or a weak vastus medialis oblique
patallofemoral stress syndrome
after sustaining a blow to the anterior knee, a basketball player is unable to perform a straight leg raise of quad set. what injury do u suspect
patellar fracture
a minor blow to the fibular head can contuse the
peroneal nerve
__________ bursitis is often associated with running and cycling and is routinely aggravated by knee flexion
pes anserine
Sesamoid disorders, medial tibial stress syndrome, and achilles tendinitis are all associated with
pes planus
a highly specialized band of tissue on the plantar surface of the foot that provides support for the longitudinal arch
plantar fascia
the arcuate complex supports
posterior knee stability
several overuse injuries to the medial aspect of the foot and lower leg have been attributed to
prolonged pronation
Which of the following is not an intrinsic factor leading to metatarsalgia
repetitive jumping excessive body weight, valgus heel, and pes planus are factors
palpable pain just anterior to the achilles tendon indicates irritation to the
retrocalcaneal bursa
movement in which direction will isolate the anterior talofibular lig in an anterior drawer test
straight anterior movement with slight plantar flexion and inversion
often the medial meniscus can be injured in combination with a hamstring injury because
the medial meniscus is attached to fibers of the semimembranosus
the screw home mechanism occurs when the
tibia rotates laterally on the femur during the last degree of knee extension
a positive valgus instability test result at 30 degrees of flexion indicates injury to the
tibial collateral ligament
Which of the following is not a supportive structure for the plantar arches?
tibionavicular ligament
hyperextension of the MTP joint of the great toe is called
turf toe
atrophy of the __________ is nearly always evident in patellofemoral dysfunction
vastus medialis oblique
anteromedial instability indicates damage to all of the following structures except
vastus medialis oblique damage to: anterior cruciate ligament, medial capsular ligament, tibial collateral ligament
posterior knee swelling may indicate all but which
venous thrombosis indicate: bakers cyst, gastrocnemius strain, bicep femoris strain
