Describe in directional terms the relationship between the patella and the ankle?
The ankle is distal to the knee. The knee is proximal to the ankle. Distal means further from the reference point, proximal means loser to the reference point.
What is an electrogoniometer?
An electrogoniometer is a piece of equipment used to measure a joint angle during dynamic movement. In some cases, it will only measure in one plane of motion, e.g. Flexion/extension of the knee. However, some may measure a certain movement in different planes simultaneously, such as plantarflexion/ dorsiflexion (pointing the toes down then up again), as well as abduction/adduction of the ankle (side to side movement).
Is spraining your ankle a shear or torsion force?
torsion
Is the ankle a third class lever?
False.
Do Ankle Weights Mess up What if your Knees?
Yes it does! only if you run
What is the antagonist muscle in ankle plantar flexion?
Tiil adidas is the prime mover of ankle plantar flexion.
A prime mover of ankle plantar flexion?
tiil adidas
What part of the body is the plantar flexion?
Plantar flexion is a movement of the foot which takes the toes further away from the shin. The foot falls down at the ankle. It occurs when you stand on your tiptoes.
What joint is made up of the tibia fibula talus and allows for dorsiflexion and plantar flexion?
ankle joint ankle joint
If you stand on tiptoes to reach something on a high shelf you are performing at the ankle joint?
plantar flexion
What are the names of the 2 lateral ankle muscles that create plantar flexion and eversion of the foot?
tibialis anterior
What muscles are agonists in plantar flexion?
The opposite of plantar flexion is dorsiflexion. Plantar flexion means to increase the angle at the ankle, as in tip-toeing. The muscles involved in dorsiflexion (picking up the toes) are:tibialis anterior muscleextensor hallucis longus muscleextensor digitorum longus muscleperoneus tertius
What is moving the sole of the foot outward at the ankle called?
Plantar abduction. Movement inward is adduction. Upward movement of the foot is called dorsiflexion. Downward movement of the foot is called plantar flexion.
How will we perform plantar reflex in amputated person?
Components of plantar reflex. 1st fanning of toes, 2nd plantar flexion of great toe, 3rd plantar flexion of ankle, 4th flexion at knee, 5th flexion and abduction at hip. So if toes r amputed u can check other components.. But if High amputation is done.. then its difficult to access and test the plantar reflex. Well there r many techniques to check plantar reflexes, but most commonly used one is to stroke the foot
Does plantar flexion mean turning the hand downward?
No. Plantarflexion refers to moving the ankle downwards. It is the opposite of dorsiflexion. Flexor Carpi Radialis is moving the wrist downwards.
Does eversion of the ankle joint move the plantar surface medially?
No. The plantar surface move laterally.
What nerve root tests ankle plantar flexion and eversion?
Plantar flexion is performed by the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, eg gastronemius (mainly) and soleus; other muscles such as plantaris have a weak contribution. The spinal roots are S1 and S2 fibers of the posterior tibial nerve. Foot eversion is performed by the fibularis longus and brevis (both in the lateral compartment of the leg). They are supplied by the superficial peroneal nerve (L5, S1).
