Soft Corn (Heloma Molle)
(wound) usually in between 4th/5th wed space
Edema
Excess of watery fluid collecting in the cavities or tissues of the body.
dependent edema
a fluid accumulation in the tissues influenced by gravity; usually greater in the lower extremities than
in tissue levels above the level of the heart
venous edema
increased capillary pressure and venous obstruction
mixed edema

lymphedema

Normal Pedal(foot) Temperature
80-90 *F
Proprioception
Perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body.
Tuning Fork Test(weber test) Discrepancy Window
8 Seconds
Stance Phase comprises what percent of the gait cycle?
,62%
Swing Phase comprises what percent of the gait cycle?
38%
Saggital Plane
divides the body into a right and left side. (Dorsiflexion/Plantarflexion)
Frontal Plane
Divides the body into front and back portions. (Anterior/Posterior)(inversion/Eversion)
Transverse Plane
horizontal division of the body into upper and lower portions (Abduction/Adduction)
Pronation(of the foot)
triplane movement comprised of dorsiflexion, eversion, abduction
Supination(of the foot)
Triplane movement comprised of plantarflexion, inversion, adduction
Heel Strike (initial contact)
Foot is inverted and dorsiflexed, Pressure should land on lateral heel
Foot Flat (Loading Response)
Foot is inverted, Pressure is on the lateral border of foot
Midstance
Foot is subtalar neutral(not pronated/supinated). Pressure transfers from lateral to medial side of
foot across ball of foot
Heel Off (Terminal Stance)
Foot is everted and slightly plantarflexed. Pressure on medial forefoot.
Toe Off (Pre-Swing)
Foot is everted and fully plantarflexed. Pressure should go through hallux.
Initial (Early) Swing
Knee is flexed, toes pointing toward ground.
Midswing
Tibia is perpendicular with the ground.
Late Swing
, Leg is extended, heel pointing toward ground ready to go into next heel strike.
Ataxic Gait
An unsteady, uncoordinated walk, employing a wide base and the feet thrown out.
Antalgic Gait
A persons manner of walking that develops as a way to avoid pain while walking, "limping'

xyphoid process
The cartilage at the lower end of the sternum
ASIS

Symphysis Pubis
a cartilaginous joint that is the point of fusion for two pubic bones
Acromion
an extension of the scapula that forms the high point of the shoulder
