How does Ffoot varus compensation occur?
|
-A ffoot varus can be compensated fully or partially
-compensation occurs via STJ pronation -If more than 3 degrees of compensation is needed STJ will pronate to end ROM |
|
|
Describe a fully compensated FFoot varus...
|
- Foot is unstable due to abnormal pronation
- A propulsive gait and unstable toes with deviated pull of FDL, leading to buckling of toes |
|
|
Describe the symptoms of a fully compensated Ffoot varus?
|
- Shin splints
- postural fatigue - plantar fasciitis - tib post tendonitis - PFPS - lesser digit deformity - HAV - Callus sub 2,3 - Neuromas - Med 1st |
|
|
Describe a uncompensated Ffoot varus...
|
- Foot is held in a inverted position
- Lateral loading prolonged and excessive with late progression to IPJ of hallux |
|
|
What are symptoms of an uncompensated Ffootn varus?
|
- Partially compensated will cause effects relating to how much compensation occurs
- Callus sub 1st and 5th with possible IPJ symptoms - Lateral shoe wear |
|
|
Rules for RCSP...
|
- STJ compensation occurs first, then ffoot.
- STJ will go to 0 degrees if possible, if inverted. If everted compensation cannot occur. - Forefoot compensation occurs via STJ 1st then MTJ has 5 degrees - If ffoot compensation > 3 degrees, STJ goes to end ROM |
|
|
What are the pathomechanics of an LLD?
|
- If in adequate ankle DF in midstance as body passes over foot, and foot remains planted DF is achieved via STJ pronation
- Foot may 'break; at MTJ, which will also be unlocked, to allow DF of Ffoot on the Rfoot - Mid foot collapse over time - Active propulsion diminished, or abolished requiring lifting of the foot which may lead to over use leg muscles |
|
|
How do we test ankle equinus?
|
Test through gastroc (extended knee) and soleus (flexed knee) muscles tests
- Assess AJ DF ROM with knee extended (STJ slightly supinated) - If tight in extension and not flexion gastrocs is tight, if tight in both soleus or soleus/gastroc are tight - if spongey resistance - muscular block, hard block - bony block |
