- circular movement around an axis: dorsiflexion: decreasing the angle of the ankle joint so that the foot bends backwards (upward) plantar flexion: the motion that extends the foot downward toward the ground as when pointing the toes: plant/o: sole of the foot: supinaton: as applied to the hand, the act of turning the palm forward, or up: pronation

- An ultrasound scan, also referred to as a sonogram, diagnostic sonography, and ultrasonography, is a device that uses high frequency sound waves to create an image of some part of the inside of the body, such as the stomach, liver, heart, tendons, muscles, joints and blood vessels.

Biomechanics Pronation is a combination of eversion, dorsiflexion and abduction. Supination is a triplanar motion involving the foot moving down and towards the center of the body. Pronation is a triplanar motion of the subtalar joint involving the foot moving up and away from the center of the body. To better understand supination, look at the right foot in the image below.

Your Complete Guide For Supination of The Foot Oversupination is a more severe version of this part of the gait cycle, and is one of the more common causes of a sprained ankle. Oversupination often suggests poor or limited shock absorption. Supination is the opposite movement of pronation, which is also part of your normal gait cycle.

- Pronation or eversion is the inward roll of the foot (medial malleolus) while walking or running. Another way to look at pronation instead in terms of the degree of inward roll is in terms of where the foot pushes off at the end of each step, or at the end of the gait cycle.ronation or eversion is the inward roll of the foot (medial malleolus) while walking or running.

Ankle jerk reflex Ankle jerk reflex. The ankle jerk reflex, also known as the Achilles reflex, occurs when the Achilles tendon is tapped while the foot is dorsi-flexed. A positive result would be the jerking of the foot towards its plantar surface. Being a deep tendon reflex, it is monosynaptic. It is also a stretch reflex. These are monosynaptic spinal segmental reflexes.

Ankle â Bones, Ligaments, Muscles & Conditions The talocrural joint is sometimes called the true ankle joint and is responsible for dorsiflexion and plantar flexion (up and down) movement of the foot. The joint between the tibia and talus bears the most of our body weight. Beneath the talocrural joint is the subtalar joint.uscles. The muscles that control ankle movement originate in the lower leg. They are responsible for foot and ankle movement up and down (dorsiflexion and plantar flexion) and turning in and out (inversion and eversion).

Supination Supination of the foot is the term used to describe the motion of the foot that increases the height of the arch. A supinated foot is a foot with a high arch. To supinate means that the foot is rolling out and gaining an arch. Pronation, on the other hand, refers to a foot that is rolling in and flattening the arch.

- the most common congenital abnormality of the foot. Clubfoot may occur in several forms, but talipes equinovarus is the most common. In this case the foot turns downward and inward. Treatment involves the extended use of orthopaedic splints or casts to correct the position of the foot, often combined with surgery. (Latin, talus = ankle + pes = foot).

Ankle The ankle, or the talocrural region, is the region where the foot and the leg meet. The ankle includes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the Inferior tibiofibular joint.The movements produced at this joint are dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the foot. In common usage, the term ankle refers exclusively to the ankle region.In medical terminology, ankle (without qualifiers) can refer broadly to the region or specifically to the talocrural joint.he ankle is composed of three joints: the talocrural joint (also called talotibial joint, tibiotalar joint, talar mortise, talar joint), the subtalar joint (also called talocalcaneal), and the Inferior tibiofibular joint.

spondylolisthesis The moving forwards of a vertebra relative to the one under it, most commonly of the 5th lumbar vertebra over the top of the SACRUM. This is due to a congenital weakness (SPONDYLOLYSIS) of the bony arch that bears the facets by which the vertebrae articulate together. Spondylolisthesis causes severe backache on standing and leads to nerve pressure effects.

Chapter 17: The ankle and foot Chapter 17: The ankle and foot. The word ankle refers to the angle between the leg and the foot. The foot functions in support and in locomotion, whereas the hand is a tactile and grasping organ. The toes are numbered from one to five, beginning with the great toe, or hallux. Thus, the pre-axial digit in either the hand or the foot is numbered one.

Os Trigonum Syndrome For the person who has an os trigonum, pointing the toes downward can result in a “nutcracker injury.” Like an almond in a nutcracker, the os trigonum is crunched between the ankle and heel bones. As the os trigonum pulls loose, the tissue connecting it to the talus is stretched or torn and the area becomes inflamed.

Types of Body Movements Knee flexion is the bending of the knee to bring the foot toward the posterior thigh, and extension is the straightening of the knee. Flexion and extension movements are seen at the hinge, condyloid, saddle, and ball-and-socket joints of the limbs (see [link]a-d).

Supination Combine all three movements and you have supination. When standing, supination occurs as the foot rolls outwards, placing most of the weight onto the outside of the foot and raising the arch. Supination is a normal part of the gait cycle (walking/running) which allows the foot to form a rigid structure for propulsion. The opposite movement to supination is pronation, this is also a normal part of the gait cycle and when excessive is termed overpronation.

- Supination is a position of either the forearm or foot; in the forearm when the palm faces anteriorly, or faces up while pronation refers to the inward roll of the foot during normal motion and occurs as the outer edge of the heel strikes the ground and the foot rolls inward.

Anatomical Terms of Movement Flexion at the elbow is decreasing the angle between the ulna and the humerus. When the knee flexes, the ankle moves closer to the buttock, and the angle between the femur and tibia gets smaller. Extension refers to a movement that increases the angle between two body parts.

- Top 10 amazing movie makeup transformations. Foot drop, also called drop foot, is a condition in which the muscles in the leg cannot raise the foot at the ankle effectively, causing difficulty when walking. The affected person must lift his or her foot high to allow the toes to clear the ground.

- Eversion is the movement of the sole of the foot away from the center line of the body. Inversion is the opposite, the movement of the sole of the foot toward the center line. Forced inversion is a common cause of ankle sprains.

What Is Foot Drop? Foot drop is a term that refers to a weakening of the muscles that allow for flexing of the ankle and toes. This condition causes the individual to drag the front of the foot while walking. To compensate for this dragging, the patient will bend the knee to lift the foot higher than in a normal stride (high steppage gait). Foot drop typically affects the muscles responsible for moving the ankle and foot upward, specifically the anterior tibialis, extensor halluces longus, and extensor digitorum longus. A quick test for foot drop is to try to walk on the heels. If this is difficult, foot drop may be present.

Osteokinematics (the movement of bones)  Fundamental Motions that occur at Synovial Joints  Lateral bending or side-bending  When the trunk moves sideways, lateral bending or side-bending is used.  Right lateral bending (or right side-bending) is when the right shoulder moves toward the right hip.
