Muscles of the Foot and Ankle

Dorsal Venous arch: Gives rise to saphenous vein medially and gives rise to lesser saphenous vein laterally. The saphenous vein is located in front of the medial malleoli. Deep Fascia of the dorsum of the Foot Deep Fascia of the dorsum of the foot is continuous with the fascia cruris via extensor retinacula. Deep fascia blends in with the...

Anatomy of Foot and Ankle

Tibial Tuberosity:  Important for tendons and a useful surface landmark. Head of Fibula: Easily palpated because of the subcutaneous on the posterolateral aspect of the knee. Division of the common peroneal nerve occurs here. Lateral Malleolus:  Medial Malleolus:  Calcaneus: Styloid Process: can be palpated in the...

Analysis of Movement

General Systems for observing movement: subjective or objective Subjective Analysis - Spectator Analysis Example analysis: good shot, bad pass, stick the landing, you missed etc. * always have negative comments in between good comments. * good comments > negative comments. Subjective Analysis - Pre-Analysis - Skill level ( different...
