Reference no: EM133533309
Case: During a single leg squat, a patient's knee on the weight bearing limb excessively deviates medially. State what is happening at the knee on the weight bearing limb and what muscle groups are being assessed?
A patient complains of radiating nerve-related sensations (such as tingling and numbness) from the gluteal region down their right thigh. State a clinical test you could do to attempt to replicate these symptoms and state the positive sign for this test
During a visual gait analysis, you observe a gait pattern that is consistent with a medially deviated subtalar joint axis and low-gear propulsion. Based on this gait, name a lower leg muscle which would need to work harder to facilitate propulsion (1 mark) and state the direction in which the first ray is being forced by the ground reaction force
Internal hip joint range of motion with the hip flexed is 30 degrees with a spongy end-point. Does this represent restriction? And if so, list two (2) muscles that are tight
If the subtalar joint axis is 35 degrees from the transverse plane and 35 degrees from the sagittal plane, what is the subtalar joints dominant plane of motion
When assessing subtalar joint range of motion, what would you expect to see if the patient had a low-pitched subtalar joint axis? (0.5 mark) and why?
Why is a Morton's extension not suitable for a patient with a pain-free functional hallux limitus?
Which ligament is most likely to be injured as a result of forced plantarflexion and inversion of the foot.
A patient presents with an everted forefoot compared to their rearfoot. State the name of this forefoot to rearfoot presentation
If the subtalar joint axis is 45 degrees from the frontal plane and 45 degrees from the sagittal plane, what is the subtalar joints dominant plane of motion?
A patient presents with shoes that have excessive heel height. State where on the foot they are likely to be experiencing increased pressure/force?
On observing a patient's foot, you notice there are signs of redness and blistering and suspect it is related to their poorly fitted shoes. State the name of the part of the shoes that is likely to be too shallow?
Name the phase of gait that is terminated by heel strike and state the subphase of gait that commences following heel strike.
A patient presents and asks you about what type of 'Last' their shoes should be based on. After assessment you identify that they have a medially deviated subtalar joint axis and scored +8 on the foot posture index. Based on this information only, state the type of 'Last' you would recommend.
In which sub-phase of gait does peak hip extension occur and which event marks the termination of this subphase?
State the type of intervention you would provide to treat the tibialis anterior muscle in a patient with a forefoot supinatus
