Definition
|
|
Term
What does loss of postural equilibrium cause in Static Stance? |
|
Definition
Bone movement as compensation for position. |
|
|
Term
How does Newton's 2nd Law translate in the Kinetic Foot? |
|
Definition
f = forces action upon bones of a joint, m = mass or in this case body weight, a = acceleration or the speed of locomotion. |
|
|
Term
How does Newtons 2nd Law effect the foot? |
|
Definition
The faster a person walks or the heavier that person is the greater the forces action on the joints of thefoot during gait. |
|
|
Term
What are "all" the forces at work on the foot during gait? |
|
Definition
Ground reactive forces interacting with the forces of mass, acceleration, and muscle tension at the joints of the foot. |
|
|
Term
What are the two components of forces interacting at a joint? |
|
Definition
Comression and Bending (Rotaional) |
|
|
Term
What 3 things are necessary for achieving joint stability? |
|
Definition
Bone compression, muscle contraction and little or no ligament tension. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Muscles undergo contraction at certain periods of the gait cycle to exert their action. |
|
|
Term
What do Phasic Activity of muscle do at joints and Ground Reactive Forces? |
|
Definition
Resist Rotatory Movements |
|
|
Term
T/F Rotational Force increases at most joints during pronation? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Why does rotational force increase during pronation? |
|
Definition
B/c the angles between bones increase and the angles that forces interact across a joint also increase. |
|
|
Term
T/F Muscle needs to work harder in a stable supinated footo resist rotational forces? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
T/F You can't have to much stability in a Foot? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What is Emergency Stability? |
|
Definition
Movtion that is not anticipated so muscle provides little initial resistance, and stability is given by ligaments and joint capsule. |
|
|
Term
T/F As ligaments lengthen resistance to the emergency rotational forces increases? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What does stretch on ligaments and capsules stimulate, that stabilize the joint? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What happens during emergency instability? |
|
Definition
Dec. motion of subluxing joint, Inc. contraction of muscles responsible for stabilizing joint and keep joint integrity intact until muscle fx reestablishes the joint. |
|
|
Term
Why is fiberous tissue that replaces ligament tissue in a sprain not as good? |
|
Definition
Not as strong, elastic or as many propriocetors. (This leads to more sprians) |
|
|
Term
What are the 5 ways Ligaments can fail? |
|
Definition
Sprain, Rupture, Avulsion Fracture, Joint damage due to compression of articular surfaces and Total Joint Dislocation. |
|

|
Definition
Hypermobility and Subluxation |
|
|
Term
What does abnormal shifting of weight bearing bones, between bone and surrounding soft tissue wihich are fixed against shoe gear, in the hypermobile foot result in? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What does Shearing Force cause? |
|
Definition
Internal tissuse damage which eventually maifests in external symptoms like corns, calluses and neuromas. |
|
|
Term
What is another down fall of Shoe Gear? |
|
Definition
Inhibits proprioception and sensory in general (Just as you body ignores your clothes and becomes less sensitive) |
