BIO-17 Lecture Notes - Lecture 24: Calcaneus, Anatomical Terms Of Motion, Tendinitis
Document Summary
Goal of all the following treatments are for the return of the glide of the proximal. Caution about excessive pressure on the peroneal nerve. Often secondary to a traumatic inversion mechanism at the ankle meniscal tears. Can be associated with iliotibial tendonitis, and/or mimic lateral. Muscle energy technique distal tib/fib junction or at the calcaneus. While applying anterolateral force to proximal fibula, have the patient internally rotate their foot against operator resistance for 5 seconds. Anterior fibular head distal tib/fib junction or at the calcaneus. Grasp affected extremity with contralateral hand at either. While applying posteromedial force to proximal fibula, have the patient externally rotate their foot against operator. Take up the slack and engage new barrier. Have patient squat keeping heels on the ground. Assess arch pronation as well as heel cord tightness. Calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuneiforms and 1st three mts. Articulations of the metatarsal heads with the phalanges.
