Hintermann states, "Compensatory overpronation may occur for anatomical reasons, such as a tibia vara of 10 degrees or more, forefoot varus, leg length discrepancy, ligamentous laxity, or because of muscular weakness or tightness in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles." [10] Pronation can be influenced by sources outside of the body as well ...
On projectional radiography, the degree of varus or valgus deformity can be quantified by the hip-knee-ankle angle, [7] which is an angle between the femoral mechanical axis and the center of the ankle joint. [8] It is normally between 1.0° and 1.5° of varus in adults. [9] Normal ranges are different in children. [10]
A varus deformity is an excessive inward angulation (medial angulation, that is, towards the body's midline) of the distal segment of a bone or joint. The opposite of varus is called valgus . The terms varus and valgus always refer to the direction that the distal segment of the joint points.
Dorsiflexion of the foot: The muscles involved include those of the Anterior compartment of leg, specifically tibialis anterior muscle, extensor hallucis longus muscle, extensor digitorum longus muscle, and peroneus tertius. The range of motion for dorsiflexion indicated in the literature varies from 12.2 [8] to 18 [9] degrees. [10]
A woman exercising. In physiology, motor coordination is the orchestrated movement of multiple body parts as required to accomplish intended actions, like walking.This coordination is achieved by adjusting kinematic and kinetic parameters associated with each body part involved in the intended movement.
The path of movement of the barbell on a standard vertical Smith machine goes in a straight line from ceiling to floor (and vice versa), forming a perfect 90-degree angle with the floor.
An angle of less than 84 degrees is regarded as talipes varus, and an angle of more than 94 degrees is regarded as talipes valgus. [ 25 ] For ligamentous injury, there are three main landmarks on X-rays: The first is the tibiofibular clear space , the horizontal distance from the lateral border of the posterior tibial malleolus to the medial ...
The degree of varus or valgus deformity can be quantified by the hip-knee-ankle angle, [36] which is an angle between the femoral mechanical axis and the center of the ankle joint. [37] It is normally between 1.0° and 1.5° of varus in adults. [38] Normal ranges are different in children. [39]
