leg anatomy

Tibia– triangular shape with medial, lateral and

posterior surfaces– interosseus membrane connects the tibia

to the fibula– distally, articulates with the talus

©

anterior view

This is an anterior view

Distinct medial, lateral, and posterior surfaces with anterior tibial crest representing the apex of the triangle

Strong, tough, interosseus membrane connects the tibia to the fibula

distally, the tibia articulates with the talus

5

leg anatomy

Fibula– long, thin bone located posterolateral to

the tibia– little weight bearing function; mainly for

muscle attachment– distally, the medial surface articulates with

the tibia and talus

©

posterior view

This is a posterior view:

Fibula is a long, thin bone positioned at about a 45 degree angle posterolateral to the tibia

little weight bearing function; mainly for muscle attachment

distally, the medial surface articulates with the tibia and talus

Navicular Tuberosity should lie on the line that connects the medial malleolus and medial 1st metatarsal head in both WBing and NWBing postures. This line is called the Feiss line

tibiofibular joint

Superior – plane synovial joint– fibular head articulating with posterolateral

aspect of tibial condyle

©

Inferior – syndesmosis with fibroadipose tissue

connecting tibia and fibula– reinforced by anterior and posterior

tibiofibular ligaments

While geographically closer to the knee, the tibfib joint is functionally associated with the foot and ankle

Interosseous membrane binds tibia an fibula together and is the origin for many of the muscles that effect the foot and ankle

10

tibiofibular accessory motions

Plantarflexion fibula slides caudally and lateral malleolus rotates

medially causing approximation of TCJ

©

Dorsiflexion fibula slides cephalically and lateral malleolus rotates

laterally to spread the mortise and accommodate the wider portion of the anterior talus

Accessory motions are defined as involuntary arthrokinematic spin, glide, or roll at the joint surfaces that must accompany full, pain-free osteokinematic motion.

Clinically, lack of dorsiflexion range may be partially associated with tibiofibular hypomobility

1 - Ant TibFib ligament injured in “high” ankle sprain. The mechanism of injury is typically a rotational injury when tibia IR and foot abducts. Evaluated by Kleiger test

2 - ATFL lies in the hollow depression just superior to EHB (called the sinus tarsi) and resists anterior anterior talar translation when plantarflexed; resists calcaneal inversion when ankle is plantarflexed

2 - ATF is most commonly injured ankle ligament and evaluated by the anterior drawer test

3 - CFL is typically about 100 degrees inferior and resists calcaneal inversion with the ankle dorsiflexed

approximate one to one relationship with calcanealinversion/eversion and tibial internal-external rotation

With low level of inclinationincreased calcaneal mobility

©

With high level of inclinationdecreased calcaneal mobility

Clinical Consideration:

If the STJ axis is at the typical 40-45° pitch then there is appoximatleya one-to-one relationship between calcaneal inversion-eversion and tibial internal-external rotation

Meaning that for every degree of IR there is one degree of calcanealeversion as a component of STJ pronation

As the axis moves toward the transverse plane – Lower Level

greater risk for hypermobility, overuse injures – tendinitis, fasciitis; pf syndrom

As the axis moves more parallel to the long axis of the tibia - High level – greater risk for hypombobility injuries – poor shock absorption and prxomail injuries – stress fractures; LBP

Inversion Eversion

20-0-10 degree is normal STJ motion

at least 8-12° of supination and 4-6° of pronation required for normal gait

Rule of 1/3rds

Podiatrists use this mathematical model to determine STJN position.

1. Determine the total STJ ROM and divide by 3

2. Move this amount from end range eversion to locate the STJ neutral position

3. Example: 6° eversion + 30° = 36° of total motion/3 = 12°

4. 6° eversion - 12° = 6° inverted as STJ neutral

Works well as an average of the entire population but lacks individual validity. Subsequently, recommend palpaltion method for determining individual STJ neutral position.

midtarsal joint motion vs. position

No clinically reliable method of quantifying the amount ofmidtarsal ROM. Midtarsal joint motion is dictated by the

position of the subtalar joint.

©

The position of the midtarsal joint is dictated by ground reaction forces andmuscular forces, motion of the joint isdetermined by the position of the subtalar joint.

Rhetorical question – “How do you measure midtarsal joint motion?” –obviously we can’t

We tend to subjectively qualify mobility instead of trying to quantify the amount of angular motion at the midtarsal joints

41

midtarsal joint axes relationship

When the STJ is pronated the two axes of the MTJ diverge (become more parallel and allow motion)

When the axes converge during supination, the MTJ locks, allowing little motion

©

Root’s and Weed’s classic explanation of how midtarsal joint axe’s relationship can be both a flexible adaptor to terrain and a rigid lever for propulsion

42

midtarsal joint “locking”

Root and Weeds contention of converging axis may be challenged by the fact that:

talonavicular joint is a ball and socket joint with an infinite number of axes

consequently, at any one time an axis is both parallel and askew to the calcaneocuboid joint

©

If both parallel and askwed simultaneously, the axes can never converge or diverge

43

Anterior facet of the talus articulates with the cuboid in supination

talus acts as a bony block to cuboid motion

Glasser, 1999

©

Anterior facet of the talus articulates with the cuboid in supination as evidenced by presence of hyaline cartilage at the talocuboid interface

talus acts as a bony block to cuboid motion when the STJ is supinated

Clinically, it is simply important to assess if midtarsal mobility is increased with pronation and decreased (stiffened) with supination

AHAH

•Muscles that originate and insert within the foot

•foot muscles have gross rather than precise functions compared to the hand

•many muscles in the foot have names that imply a function they rarely perform, or, for some individuals, are unable to perform

•however, and somewhat ironically, loss of function or surgical alteration of these muscles can result in the development of a foot deformity

muscular function in gait

Contrast the open kinetic chain muscular function as dictated by the tendon’s location relative to axes with their functional responsibilities in gait

98

Muscular Function in GaitAnterior Group

Tibialis Anterior:– concentric function in swing phase and

eccentric function in stance– assist in ground clearance, controls forefoot

loading and midstance pronation

Long Extensors: – hold the oblique axis of the MTJ in a pronated

position at heel strike and assist controlled deceleration of forefoot loading and midstance pronation

©

Long Extensors = EHL and EDL

99

Muscular Function in GaitPosterior Deep Group

Posterior Tibialis: – controls STJ pronation at heel strike and reverses it

through midstance– maintains stability of the MTJ in the direction of

supination around the oblique axis during stance phase Flexor Digitorum Longus:

– stabilizes the foot as a weight bearing platform for propulsion.

– Works antagonistically with the intrinsics.– supports the medial archFlexor Hallicus Longus:– functions in concert with the other posterior deep

muscles, specifically stabilizing the 1st ray during propulsion and supporting the medial arch.

©

100

Muscular Function in GaitPosterior Superficial Group

Gastroc-Soleus:active throughout the stance phase of gaitat heel strike, eccentrically decelerate tibial IR & forward progression of the tibia over the foot. Gastroc decelerates femoral IR while the soleus assists in tibial IR deceleration.during midstance and heel off, concentrically supinating the subtalar joint, externally rotating the tibia, and plantarflexing for push off.gastroc contributes to smooth knee extension by maintaining tension on the knee while the knee extends in midstance

©

101

Muscular Function in GaitLateral Group

Peroneus Longus – provides support to the transverse and lateral

longitudinal arches– actively stabilizes the 1st ray– transfers body weight from lateral to medial

during stance

Peroneus Brevis – functions in concert with the peroneus longus– stabilizes the calcaneocuboid joint allowing the

peroneus longus to work efficiently over the cuboid pulley

Superficial Peroneal

branch of common peroneal

passes down anterior compartment of leg, then branches off into:

medial dorsal cutaneous nerve

intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve

Deep peroneal nerve

Deep in leg, then passes into foot and supplies 1st web space

Common peroneal most commonly injured resulting in paralysis of dorsiflexors and evertors = drop foot

Posterior tibial nerve is affected in tarsal tunnel syndrome (just posteror to anterior compartment
