Document Summary

Functional anatomy: the foot and ankle: foot: accessory movements, allow feet to mould and operate on uneven group, three arches (medial longitudinal arch, lateral longitudinal arch, transverse arch, ankle joints: Exion to occur: three major bones: femur, tibia, bula. The femur and tuba form the tibiofemorial joint ( exion, extension, slight rotation: quadriceps muscles: vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis, and rectus femoris, hamstring muscles: semitendinosus (medial), semimembranosus (medial), and biceps femoris (lateral) Hamstring tension prevents tibial shifting (protect cruciate ligaments) Functional anatomy: the pelvis: the pelvis consists of the ilium, sacrum, ischium, pubis, and coccyx. Functions of the lower limbs and pelvis: gait (walking and running) Stance phase: time when the foot is in contact with the ground, accounts for approximately 60% of the gait cycle. Immediate transfer of body weight onto the limb as soon as it contacts the ground requires limb stability and shock absorption, while preserving the momentum of progression.
