Foot Anatomy 26 Bones 7 Tarsal 5 Metatarsal 14 Phalanges 38 Joints
4 Arches
3
Toes Designed to give wider base for balance and for propelling the body forward First toe has 2 phalanges the remaining toes have 3 Sesamoids under the first metatarsal (in the flexor hallucis tendon) assist with reducing pressure in weight bearing, increase the mechanical advantage of the flexor tendons of the great toe, act as sliding pulleys for tendons
4
Sesamoid Bones 2 (medial and lateral) Under great toe
Functionpulley, increase leverage of tendons that control great toe
5
Metatarsals Five bones that lie between and articulate with the tarsals and the phalanges Ligamentous arrangement gives elasticity to the foot in weight bearing MTP joints permit hinge action of phalanges First metatarsal functions as the main weight bearing support during walking and running
6
Tarsals Calcaneous Talus
Largest tarsal bone; supports the talus and shapes the heel Main functions: convey the body weight to the ground and serves as attachment of Achilles Tendon and plantar structures Talus Situated above the calcaneous; consists of the body, neck and head Trochlea articulates with the medial and lateral malleoli to form the ankle joint
7
Tarsals Navicular Anterior to the talus on the medial aspect of the foot Articulates with the three cuneiform bones Cuboid On the lateral aspect of the foot Articulates posteriorly with the calcaneous and anteriorly with the fourth and fifth metatarsals Cuneiforms Three cuneiforms located between the navicular and the base of the three metatarsals on the medial aspect of the foot

Regions of the Foot
15
Arches of the Foot Arches provide support in weight bearing, absorb shock, and provide space on plantar surface of blood vessels, nerves, and muscles
16
Foot Arches Functions Support body weigh in an economical fashion
Absorb the shock of weight bearing Provide a space on the plantar aspect of foot for blood vessels, nerves, and muscles
17
Arches of the Foot Lateral Longitudinal Arch
On outer aspect of the foot, formed by the calcaneous, cuboid and fifth metatarsal bone
18
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
19
Lateral Longitudinal Arch
Lower and flatter Calcaneus, Talus, Cuboid, 4th & 5th metatarsals Supports— Ligaments: Short plantar ligament Plantar fascia Tendons: Peroneus longus
20
Arches of the Foot Transverse Arch Medial Longitudinal Arch
Extends across the cuboid, and the internal cuneiform Protects the soft tissue and increases foot mobility Medial Longitudinal Arch Originates on medial border of the calcaneous and extends forward to the distal head of the first metatarsal Main supporting ligament = plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (spring ligament)
21
Transverse Arch Cuniforms, Cuboid, & 5th metatarsal
23
Plantar Fascia Thick white band of fibrous tissue originating from the medial tuberosity of the calcaneus and ending at the proximal heads of the metatarsals Work with ligaments to support arches during weigh bearing and downward forces
24
Joints of the Foot Tibiotalar Talocrural Subtalar Talonavicular
Calcaneocubiod Metarsocunieform Tarsometatarsal Joint Subtalar Joint Midtarsal Joint
25
Joints of the Foot Metatarsophalangeal Joint
Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Distal Interphalangeal Joint
26
Joints of the Foot Tarsometatarsal Joint
Formed by junction of the bases of the metatarsal bones with the cuboid and all three cuneiforms – allows for some gliding Also known as the Lisfranc’s joint
27
Joints of the Foot Intermetatarsal Joint Interphalangeal Joint
Designed for flexion and extension Reinforced by collateral ligaments Metatarsophalangeal Joint Condyloid type joints permitting flexion, extension, adduction and abduction Intermetatarsal Joint Sliding joints: include two sets of articulations
28
Joints of the Foot Subtalar Joint
Articulation between the talus and calcaneous Allows for inversion, eversion, pronation, and supination In weight bearing pronation refers to combined movement of talar plantarflexion and adduction and calcaneal eversion In weight bearing supination refers to combined movement of talar dorsiflexion, abduction and calcaneal inversion

Structural Derformities
41
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 If it ain’t broken don’t fix it! If painful, correct the excessive pronation with orthotic; taping may help; strength training of muscles may help
42
Pronators Prolonged pronation one of major causes of stress injuries
Prolonged pronation does not allow the subtalar joint to resupinate, thus there is less power for push-off Injuries occurring from excessive pronation include: stress fractures of the second metatarsal, plantar fasciitis, posterior tibial tendonitis, achilles tendonitis, tibial stress syndrome and medial knee pain
43
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 Orthotic with lateral wedge; stretch achilles tendon & plantar fascia
44
Supinators Excessive supination at heel strike does not allow subtalar joint to unlock – foot remains rigid Foot cannot absorb ground reaction forces efficiently Injuries seen include: inversion ankle sprains, tibial stress syndrome, peroneal tendonitis, IT band friction syndrome and trochanteric bursitis
45
Shoe Wear Patterns Excessive Pronation Excessive Supination
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
46
Selecting Appropriate Footwear
Pronators Supinators need stability and firmness to reduce excess motion (need board lasted, straight lasted shoe, with good rearfoot control) need cushioning and flexibility as foot is too rigid (need slip lasted or combination lasted, curve lasted shoe)
47
Selecting Appropriate Footwear

Common Injuries of the Foot
50
Assessment of the Foot HOPS
51
Assessment of the Foot Obtain a thorough history Observation
Look for structural Deformities (bunions, check for forefoot varus/valgus deformities, check for rearfoot varus/valgus deformities, flexibility of first ray)
52
Look at shoe wear patterns
Pronators Supinators wear out the front of the shoe under the second metatarsal All have excessive wear on the lateral heel due to heel strike wear out the outside of the shoe All have excessive wear on the lateral heel due to heel strike
53
Assessment of the Foot Palpation Special Tests
Palpate Bones and Soft tissue structures Tinel’s sign: tap over the posterior tibial nerve – numbness, tingling and paresthesia may indicate tarsal tunnel syndrome Morton’s Test: Transverse pressure on metatarsal heads causing sharp pain in forefoot, may indicate presence of neuroma or metatarsalgia
54
Pulse Posterior Tibial Artery Medial Malleolous Dorsalis Pedis artery
Extensor Tendon Great Toe
55
Injuries to the Tarsal Region
Fractures of the Talus Fractures of the Calcaneous Calcaneal Stress Fracture Sever’s Disease (Apophysitis of the Calcaneous) Retrocalcaneal Bursitis Heel Contusion Cuboid Subluxation Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Lisfranc Injury (Tarsometatarsal Fracture/Dislocation
56
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
57
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 Apophysis-= bone protrusion (bony outgrowth such as a tubercle or tuberosity) Rest, ice, stretching
58
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
59
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 TX: taping arch or use shoe insert to reduce plantar fascia pull on calcaneus
60
Heel Contusion Irritation of the lateral aspect of the heel
Sudden stop-and-go or sudden change in movement Heel receives, absorbs, and transfers much impact of sports activities (running & jumping) Severe pain in heel; will hurt with WB Calcaneus protected by thick, cornified skin layer and heavy fat pad covering, but even this thick covering cannot always protect against impact of landing or jumping
61
Heel Contusion—Treatment
Cold application before activity Ice & elevation after activity Absorb shock— Heel cups Donut pad
62
LisFranc Injury Tarsometatarsal fracture/dislocation
The midfoot will be affected if the bones are broken (fractured) or the ligaments are torn (ruptured). Injuries can vary, from a simple injury that affects only a single joint to a complex injury that disrupts multiple different joints and includes multiple fractures.

Injuries to Metatarsal Region
Pes Planus Foot Pes Cavus Foot Longitudinal Arch Sprain Plantar Fasciitis Metatarsal Stress Fracture Hallux Valgus Deformity (Bunion) Sesamoiditis Metatarsalgia Morton’s Neuroma
65
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
66
Plantar Fascia Wide, non-elastic ligamentous tissue that extends from the anterior portion of calcaneus to heads of metatarsals Supplies support to longitudinal arch
67
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 Continually strained from running and jumping; basketball, volleyball, cross-country (repeated jumping and landing)
68
Plantar Fasciitis—Treatment
Correct training errors Ice Massage Evaluate shoes & activity level Arch support Heel cup or cushion Goal: to reduce shock and shear forces
69
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 Tx: RICE; most arch sprains are to lateral arch or inner longitudinal arch
70
Injuries to the Toes Sprained Toes Turf Toe
Fractures and Dislocations of Phalanges Hallux Rigidus Subungual Hematoma (blood under toenail)
71
Turf Toe Great toe strain
Hyperextension of the first MTP joint of the big toe Treatment: RICE & Support Limit movement Turf toe taping Great toe important for balance, movement, and speed
72
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
73
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
