|
|

balance
|
|
what is planal dominance
|
if axis of a joint is deviated to become more perpendicular to a certain body plane then motion in that plane will be the dominant plane
|
|
where is the planar dominance if the OMTJ is more vertically oriented
|
in the transverse plane
|
|
what motion will be seen in the OMTJ is more vertically oriented
|
more abduction and adduction with pronation and supination around the OMTJ
|
|
if STJ is more vertically oriented where will planar dominance be
|
in the transverse plane
|
|
what are the effects if the STJ gets more vertically oriented
|
ankle, knee, and hip will have to compensate for the deviation of the axis
|
|
if the STJ is more horizontally oriented where will planar dominance be
|
in the frontal plane
|
|
what motion will be seen if the STJ is more horizontally oriented
|
more inversion and eversion
|
|
what are the affects of frontal planar dominance at the STJ
|
more angulation between joints and greater instability which will lead to hypermobility and subluxation
|
|
where will compensation and pathology be seen if the STJ is more horizontally oriented
|
in the foot
|
|
what happens if the STJ is deviated more medially in the transverse plane
|
more pronation
|
|
what happens if the STJ is deviated more laterally in the transverse plane
|
more supination
|
|
what things lead to lateral instability
|
short lateral column
forefoot valgus |
|
what muscles may be part of the plantar fascia
|
abductor hallucis and abductor digiti minimi
|
|
what is the windlass mechanism
|
when we dorsiflex the digits we see an increase in height of the medial arch as the medial slip of the central band tightens plantarflexing the first metatarsal we also see inversion of the calcaneus
|
|
what is a result of the windlass mechanism
|
passive supination
|
|
what was elftmans idea about MTJ
|
each of the components have two axis
|
|
what was elftmans idea about pronation of the MTJ
|
that the TN-1 axis lines up with the CC-1 axis resulting in an unlocked MTJ
|
|
what was elftmans idea about supination of the MTJ
|
each of the four axis contribute movement to align the foot and lock it at any given point during supination
|
|
what was roots idea about the locking position of the MTJ
|
that the plantar surface of the forefoot is perpendicular to a vertical bisection of the calcaneus
|
|
what was husons idea about the MTJ
|
that the MTJ actually consists of the navicular and cuboid rotating around the talus and calcaneus

|
|
how do we get 62 degrees in the lesser MPJ's
|
metatarsals must plantarflex
|
|
why do we need less dorsi from the lesser MPJ's

because they lift off the ground before the 1st MPJ
