Term
T/F All motion of the foot produces forces against the ground?
Definition
TRUE
Term
What are the 2 types of Ground Reactive Forces?
Definition
Vertical and Linear Shear Forces
Term
T/F The ground response with equal and opposite forces against the foot?
Definition
TRUE
Term
The foot supports body weight as the __________________ of the body passes in linear progression above the foot?
Definition
Center of Gravity
Term
T/F Vertical ground reactive forces on the foot are constat during the stance phase of gait?
Definition
FALSE
Term
What type of progression does the Center of Gravity have during the Contact Phase?
Definition
Forward.
Term
Where are the two peaks of center of gravity for Vertical ground reactive forces?
Definition
End of contact period (when weight is supported by one foot) and Midway through propulsive phase (All weight is on the ball of one foot)
Term
What causes the 1st peak of center of gravity of the vertical ground reactive forces?
Definition
The elevation of the center of body weight as it is lifted over the weight of bearing limb.
Term
What causes the 2nd peak of center of gravity of vertical ground reactive forces?
Definition
The kinetic energy from the falling trunk and muscle function that elevates the heel and provides a push to the center of gravity during propulsion.
Term
"T/F During the peaks of center of gravity of vertical ground reactive forces, ground reactive force is smaller than body weight?"
Definition
FALSE
Term
The abnormal foot is more open to trauma from instability or compensation during the peaks of center of gravity of vertical ground reactive forces?
Definition
TRUE
Term
What type of force is Linear force?
Definition
Shear Force
Term
What is Shear Force?
Definition
Occurs when stress causes one part to slide over another because of a blow or other significant impact.
Term
When does Shear Force occur during Stance Phase of Gait?
Definition
"Contact Period and Propulsive Period (Similar to the peaks of center of gravity of vertical ground forces, but not exactly)"
Term
What type of shearing occurs at Heel Strike?
Definition
Posterior
Term
What structure dissipates most of the posterior shear?
Definition
Plantar Fat Pad
Term
Why does the Plantar Fat Pad function well to dissipate posterior shearing force?
Definition
High in water content. Water dissipates Heat well. Friction produces Heat.
Term
T/F Posterior Shear Force is between Skin and the Ground?
Definition
"TRUE, though the posterior shear between bone and ST is more relevant."
Term
What people are effected more by posterior shear force?
Definition
Elderly and those with pathology including autoimmune ds.
Term
What causes Anterior Shear?
Definition
Heel lift and the puss off of propulsion. This imparts a linear acceleration of center of gravity of the trunk in a forward direction.
Term
What prevents posterior movement of the foot during propulsion?
Definition
Friciton
Term
When is Anterior Shear at it's peak?
Definition
When the opposite foot makes contact with the ground.
Term
What cause the Anterior Shear?
Definition
Soft tissue will be displaced anteriorly to the Met Heads.
Term
What is one pathology that would shift the Fat Pad under the ball of the foot?
Definition
Pes Cavus
Term
What does the wasting or further anterior displacement of the Fat Pad cause?
Definition
"ST Trauma, Hermorrhage, Fibrosis, and Hyperkeratiotic Lesions or even Ulcerration."
Term
What is Troque?
Definition
When forces produce a turning effect (observed as a moment.)
Term
When does Torque develop between the ground and the foot?
Definition
Stance Phase of Gait
Term
What specifically causes Troque to develop during the Stance Phase of Gait?
Definition
Internal/External rotation of the Leg.
Term
At what point in gait is the leg internally rotated?
Definition
Heel Strike
Term
What causes the STJ to pronate during Heel Strike?
Definition
Internal rotation of the Tibia and the fact that the ground friction stops the foot from rotating with the Tibia.
Term
What is the Torque converter?
Definition
STJ
Term
T/F The STJ dissipates all of the Torque form the Tibia?
Definition
FALSE
Term
What prevents the foot from rotating with the Tibia?
Definition
FF contact (friction)
Term
What does the initial internal torque (that the STJ can't dissipate) at early Contact Period do?
Definition
Load the FF
Term
When is Torque virtually eliminated?
Definition
End of Contact Period
Term
What type of Torque begins to develope as the leg externally rotates at the start of Midstance Period?
Definition
Internal Torque.
Term
When does the 2nd Toque reach it's peak?
Definition
Just prior to heel lift.
Term
Which Torque peak is larger?
Definition
2nd
Term
What causes Lateral Shear?
Definition
Side to side motion of the trunk.
Term
When does Lateral Shear peak?
Definition
End of Contact Period and during Propulsion.
Term
T//F Lateral Shear Forces are clinically insignificant?
Definition
TRUE
Term
What are the 2 primary factors in stability?
Definition
Osseous Structure and Muscle Activity.
Term
What are the 2 primary causes of abnormal shearing between bones and ST?
Definition
Abnormal STJ Pronation and Hypermobility.
Term
What would be Abnormal STJ Pronation?
Definition
Pronation during Midstance or Propulsive Periods.
Term
T/F ST is fixed against shoe gear?
Definition
TRUE
Term
T/F Most shear between bone and ST will cause ST trauma?
Definition
"FALSE, All will"
Term
What does pronation of the STJ during propulsion cause?
Definition
Excessive Osseous Motion (which can lead to ST trauma)
