when is the gastroc active in gait
from late contact to early propulsion
what joints does the gastroc cross
knee, ankle, STJ
what are the functions of the gastroc
prevents hyperextension of knee
prevents internal torque from developing by stopping internal rotation of the femur
prevents external torque from developing by externally rotating the femur
assists the PT, Soleus, LF in supinating the STJ through external rotation
Flexes the knee and lifts the heel
what does the flexing of the knee and lifting of the heel by the gastroc cause
upward and forward acceleration of the trunk
what is the function of the gastroc in contact
slows and stops internal rotation of the femur preventing internal torque from developing at the knee
what is the function of the gastroc in midstance and early propulsion
externally rotates the femur and assists in supinating the STJ which prevents external torque from developing at the knee
what are the functions of the gastroc in propulsion
flexes the knee and lifts the heel to start propulsion and continues to flex the knee and helps other muscles in supinating the STJ and MTJ and externally rotates
what must happen for the gastroc to have any effects in gait
the forefoot must be in contact with ground
what pathologies will we observe in the gastroc is not working properly
heel lift with be next to impossible
clawing of the toes as the FDL and peroneus longus trying to elicit heel lift without much success
what is it called when FDL tries to accomplish heel lift
flexor substitution
how does the gastroc slow forward momentum of the tibia
it is a plantarflexor but since the foot is against the ground it cant plantarflex so it slows the momentum of the tibia
what is the relationship of the gastroc to the ankle and STJ
perpendicular to ankle
45 degrees to STJ (supination)
when is the soleus muscle active during gait
early contact thru early propulsion
why is the soleus active earlier and end sooner in gait
because it stabilizes the lateral column and and the fifth met is first to contact ground and first to lift
what are the functions of the soleus in gait
stabilize the lateral column by plantarflexing during late contact and through midstance
aid is decelerating the internal rotation of tibia and stj pronation
extend the knee by decelerating the tibia
contributes to heel lift by placing a plantarflexory force at the ankle
accelerates external rotation of tibia and helps to supinate the STJ
what joints does the soleus muscle cross
ankle and STJ
what is the soleus indirect effect on the knee
extension of the knee by slowing and stopping the internal rotation of the tibia
what is the most important muscle for normal foot function in gait
posterior tibial
when do we see the posterior tibial muscle active in gait
early contact thru early propulsion
what are the pulley of the posterior tibial muscle
medial malleoulus-effects the STJ and ankle
navicular tuberosity-effects the MTJ
what are the effects of the posterior tibial muscle at the ankle, STJ, OMTJ
ankle=plantarflexory
STJ=supinator
OMTJ=supinator
what are the functions of the posterior tibial muscle in contact
decelerates STJ pronation and internal rotation
assists in decelerating forward momentum of tibia producing knee extension
which muscles decelerate forward momentum of tibia in contact
PT, soleus, long digital flexors
what are the functions of the posterior tibial in midstance
accelerates external rotation and STJ supination
maintains stability of MTJ by supinating the OMTJ
what role does posteior tibial have in heel lift
decelerates the forward motion of the tibia at the same time stop ankle joint dorsiflexion
what pathology do we see when posterior tibial losses it pulley
severe flatfoot deformity
what might cause the posterior tibial to lose its pulley
slippage of the PT tendon out of its groove behind the medial malleolus
trauma seperating the posterior tibial tendon from the navicular tuberosity or from the sustentaculum tali
what kind of a supinator of the STJ is the posterior tibial
indirect because it has no insertions on the STJ
when is the flexor hallucis longus muscle active in gait
end of contact thru end of propulsion
what are the functions of the FHL in midstance
assists with deceleration of the forward momentum of the tibia contributing to knee extension
assists with acceleration of external rotation and STJ pronation
what are the pulleys for the FHL
medial malleolus, sustentaculum tali, and talus
what are the muscles that the FHL is assisting in midstance
soleus, FDL, PT, Gastroc
what is the function of the FHL during propulsion
maintains stability of hallus against the ground during propulsion
assists in proximal stabilization of phalanges of hallux
what are the pulleys of the FHL at the hallus
sesamoid apparatus and the first MPJ
what must happen for the FHL to maintain stability of hallux against the ground
hallux must be made a rigid beam by the extensor mechanism
what does the FHL assist the FDL and PT with in propulsion
plantarflexion of feet at the ankle joint
what does the FHL assist the abductor hallucis and FDL with during propulsion
supination of the OMTJ
when is the FDL active in gait
end of contact thru mid-propulsion
what are the pulleys for FDL
medial malleolus and sustentaculum tali
secondary=transverse metatarsal ligament
what is the function of the FDL in contact
decelerate STJ pronation and internal rotation
what is the function of the FDL in midstance
decelerate the forward momentum of the tibia
accelerate STJ supination and external leg rotation
what are the functions of the FDL in propulsion
decelerate forward momentum which leads to heel off
maintain stability of lesser digits against ground
stabilize posteriorly the phalanges of the lesser digits against the lesser met heads during midstance and propulsion
assist with ankle joint plantarflexion
assist with supination of the OMTJ
when is the peroneus longus muscle active in gait
mid midstance thru late propulsion
what are the pulleys for peroneus longus
lateral malleolus specifically the peroneal trochlea
plantar aspect of the cuboid
what are the functions of the peroneus longus
stabilize the first ray
pornator of LMTJ
transfer weight from lateral to medial
how does peroneus longus stabilize the first ray
transversely by resisting the adduction force put on lesser rays by PT and posteriorly against lesser tarsus
plantarly stabilizes the first met head against the ground
how does the peroneus longus aid in shifting weight lateral to medial
as soleus relaxes the lateral part of the foot comes off the ground and making cuboid unstable pulley and lifts the foot and weight as peroneus longus contracts
what two other functions does peroneus longus assist with
deceleration of ankle joint dorsiflexion which leads to heel lift
weakly assist inankle joint plantarflexion during propulsion
what is common pathology we see with peroneus longus
if foot is pronated during midstance and propulsion peroneus longus cannot stabilize first ray. first ray becomes hypermobile results in subluxation of 1st MPJ due to FHL trying to stabilize hallux against first met
can lead to hallux abducto valgus or hallux limits
when do we see peroneus brevis active in gait
mid-midstance thru mid-propulsion
what is the pulley for the peroneus brevis
lateral malleolus peroneal trochlea
what is the strongest pronator of the STJ
peroneus brevis
what are the functions of the peroneus brevis
developing an abduction stabilizing force on the lesser tarsus
provide antagonistic pronation force at STJ to resist supination of foot and external rotation
assist in transfering weight
what is the pathology we might see with the peroneus brevis
spasm of the peroneus brevis will result in pronation at the STJ usually and effort by the body to splint the rearfoot and limit motion in response to painful motion about the STJ
what type of pronator of the STJ is the peroneus brevis
indirect
