Study Notes
Foot/Ankle Overview
- The foot and ankle are a complex system of 26 bones and 34 joints.
- Functionally, the foot acts as a mobile adaptor and a rigid lever during the stance phase of gait, all within a second.
- Ankle injuries are common orthopedic injuries.
- Arches, muscles, and ligaments work together to enable key foot and ankle functions.

Clinical Scenario (Page 3, 28)
- Patient is Chaz Michaels.
- Patient has plantar fasciitis.
- Chaz is nervous about performing the examination, but is prepared for examination process including:
- rearfoot and forefoot relationship.
- examination for intrinsic muscle strength and extrinsic muscle flexibility.
- finding if excessive pronation is present.
- performing a deep palpation on the medial calcaneal tubercle for a positive reaction.
- asking about possible increased activity levels and any changes in shoes or surfaces patient exercises on.
