Support body weigh in an economical fashion 2. Absorb the impact of walking, running, jumping or any other weight bearing activity 3. Provide a space on the plantar aspect of foot for blood vessels, nerves, and muscles Medial Longitudinal Arch • Highest of 3 arches of foot • Calcaneus, Talus, Navicular, Cuniforms & 1st three metatarsals • Supports— – Ligaments: • Spring ligament • Plantar fascia – Tendons: • Tibialis posterior • Tibialis anterior Lateral Longitudinal Arch • Lower and flatter • Calcaneus, Talus, Cuboid, 4th & 5th metatarsals • Supports— – Ligaments: • Short plantar ligament • Plantar fascia – Tendons: • Peroneus longus Transverse Arch • Cuniforms, Cuboid, & 5th metatarsal Shoe Wear Patterns • Excessive Pronation – Wear out front of shoe under 2nd metatarsal • Excessive Supination – Wear out lateral border of shoe • Common Misconception – Wearing out the back lateral corner of the shoe means you pronate – This is normal wear pattern Gait Pulse • • • • Posterior Tibial Artery Medial Malleolous Dorsalis Pedis artery Extensor Tendon Great Toe Foot Movements Dorsiflexion Plantar Flexion Pronation Inversion Eversion Supination Muscles of Foot Intrinsic Muscles • Relate to specific body part or bone • • • • Flexor hallucis longus Flexor hallucis brevis Flexor digitorum longus Extensor digitorum longus • Abductor hallucis • Abductor digiti minimi • Tibialis posterior Extrinsic Muscles • Muscle outside a body part, organ, or bone • Gastrocnemius Muscles of the Foot Muscles of the Foot Muscles of the Foot Warm - Up • You will need the following: – Scissors – Glue – 7 colored pencils or markers Common Injuries of the Foot Fractures & Stress Fractures • Impair ability to perform competitively • NWB • More swelling & pain than ligament sprain • Point tenderness present • Obvious deformity often present • Usually occur acutely; result of traumatic episode Jones Fracture • Fracture to the diaphysis at the base of the 5th metatarsal • Repetitive stress, direct force, or inversion and PF of foot • Healing slow; high nonunion rate Retrocalcaneal Bursitis • Swelling of the bursa at the back of the calcaneus under the Achilles tendon • S/sxs: – Pain in heel – Painful to touch – Pain worse when rising on toes – Red, warm skin over back of heel Plantar Fascia • Wide, non-elastic ligamentous tissue that extends from the anterior portion of calcaneus to heads of metatarsals • Supplies support to longitudinal arch Plantar Fasciitis • Strain/irritation of the plantar fascia • Caused by: – – – – Overuse Unsupportive footwear Tight Achilles tendon Running on hard surfaces – Chronic irritation • Pain, tenderness on bottom of foot near heal (especially in am) • Untreated will lead to: – – – – Bone imbalance Heel spurs Muscle strains Shin splints Plantar Fasciitis— Treatment • • • • Correct training errors Ice Massage Evaluate shoes & activity level • Arch support • Heel cup or cushion Arches Pes Planus • Flat foot • Associated with excessive pronation • Multiple causes: – Lack of shoe support – Weak muscles • • • • Pain & weakness in medial longitudinal arch Calcaneal eversion Navicular bulging Flattening of arch Pes Cavus • • • • aka Clawfoot, hollow foot Associated with excessive supination Shock absorption poor General foot pain and metatarsalgia common • Abnormally short Achilles tendon • Calluses ball and heel Arch Sprains • Ligaments stretch, thus fail to hold bones of foot in position • When arch weakened, it cannot absorb shock normally • Causes: – – – – Overuse Overweight Fatigue Training on hard surfaces – Non-supportive shoes – Shoes in poor condition Turf Toe • Great toe strain • Hyperextension of the first MTP joint of the big toe • Treatment: – RICE & Support – Limit movement – Turf toe taping Heel Spur • • • • Bony growth on calcaneus Causes painful inflammation Aggravated by exercise As foot flattens, plantar fascia is stretched & pulled where it attaches to calcaneus calcaneus reacts by forming spur of bony material Heel Contusion • Irritation of the lateral aspect of the heel • Sudden stop-and-go or sudden change in movement Heel Contusion—Treatment • Cold application before activity • Ice & elevation after activity • Absorb shock— – Heel cups – Donut pad Sever’s Disease • Traction injury at the apophysis of the calcaneus where the Achilles tendon attaches • Young, physically active athletes – Comparable to Osgood-Shlatter’s disease (at tibial tubercle of knee) • Pain occurs during vigorous activity and does not continue during rest Blisters • Occur on any part of body where there is friction • Most common on feet or heels • Treatment Goals: – Relieve pain – Keep from enlarging – Avoid infection Blisters—Treatment • Wash area thoroughly • Use sterile blade to cut small hole in blister • Squeeze out clear fluid • Do not remove skin • Prevention: – Wear work gloves – Break in new skin – Petroleum jelly/skin lube – Adhesive bandage Prevention of Foot Injuries • Selecting appropriate footwear • Using shoe orthotic • Foot hygiene Rehabilitation of the Foot • Towel pulls • TheraBand® • Marble pick-up Muscle Movement Foldable • Label each flap on of the directional terms – – – – – Toe Flexion Toe Extension Ankle Eversion Ankle Dorsiflexion Ankle Plantarflexion • Glue picture of movement on the under side of the flap. Write the muscle names under the correct flap. • • • • • • • • • • • • Flexor Hallucis Longus Extensor Digitorum Longus Tibialis Posterior Peroneus Longus Extensor Hallucis Longus Flexor Hallucis Brevis Gastrocnemius Peroneus Brevis Soleus Tibialis Anterior Peroneus Tertius Flexor Digitorum Longus Common Injuries Brochure • Include the following: – Bones that are found in the foot • Draw the anatomy – How to prevent foot injuries – Basic definition of each foot injury which includes the symptoms they would experience and where – Common treatments – Rehabilitation • Draw a picture of athlete completing rehab
