Cards

Term
Calcaneus
Definition
largest and most posterior tarsal, rests on floor as we stand, heel bone
Term
Talus
Definition
Superior to the Calcaneus, articulates with the distal Tibia and Fibula
Term
Navicular
Definition
Anterior to the Talus on the medial side, and proximal to the three cuneiforms
Term
Cuboid
Definition
Lateral tarsal bone found proximal to metatarsals 4 and 5 and distal to the Calcaneus
Term
Cuneiforms 1, 2, 3
Definition
Articulate proximally with the Navicular and distally with Metatarsals 1, 2, 3 respectively
Term
Metatarsals and Phalanges
Definition
Equivalent to Metacarpals, and Phalanges of the hands
Term
TMT, MTP, IP(great toe), PIP, DIP
Definition
tarsometatarsal, metatarsophalangeal, interphalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, distal interphalangeal joints
Term
Ankle Inversion / Eversion
Definition
raising the medial / lateral border of the foot, inward or outward movement
Term
Toe Flexion
Definition
bending of the toes so that the plantar surfaces of the metatarsals and proximal phalanges move closer together
Term
Toe Extension
Definition
Straightening movement in the sagittal plane, so the plantar surfaces of the metatarsals and proximal phalanges move farther apart
Term

Toe Abduction (MTP Abduction)

 

Definition
When the first, third, fourth, and fifth toes move away from the second toe, or when second toe moves in either direction
Term
Toe Adduction (MTP Adduction)
Definition
Occurs when the first, third, fourth, and fifthe toes return from abduction. Second toe is incapable of adduction.
Term
Posterior Superficial Group
Definition

Gastrocnemius and Soleus

 

produce ankle plantar flexion

Term
Posterior Deep Group
Definition

Tibialis Posterior 'Tom'

Flexor Digitorum Longus 'Dick'

Flexor Hallucis Longus 'Harry'

 

produce ankle plantar flexion and inversion

 

Term
Gastrocnemius OIA

Extensor Digitorum Longus

Term
Tibialis Anterior OIA
Definition

O: Lateral Tibia and interosseous membrane

I: First Cuneiform and base of first Metatarsal

A: Ankle dosi flexion,

Ankle inversion

 

Foot drop occurs if this muscle is weak

"shin splint muscle"

Term
Extensor Hallucis Longus OIA
Definition

O: Anterior Fibula and interosseous membrane

I: Distal phalanx of digit 1

A: IP extension digit 1,

MTP extension digit 1,

assists ankle dosiflexion and assists ankle inversion

 

comparable to Extensor Pollicis Longus in hand

 

Term
Extensor Digitorum Longus OIA
Definition

O: Anterior Fibula, and interosseous membrane

I: Distal phalanges of digits 2-5

A: DIP extension digits 2-5,

PIP extension digits 2-5,

MTP extension digits 2-5,

assists ankle dorsiflexion
