Loss of motor function results in dorsiflexion, contractures of the toes, loss of the interosseous muscle function that leads to contraction of the digits, so-called hammer toes.
22.
Paschimottanasana enables much easier rotation inward or outward of the legs, abducting or adducting them at the hip, flexing or extending the knees, or enacting plantar or dorsiflexion of the ankle.
23.
They must first contract concentrically during the end of the stance phase in order to bend the knee and allow the foot ( along with dorsiflexion at the ankle ) to clear the ground.
24.
Forcible correction of the equinus ( and cavus ) by dorsiflexion against a tight Achilles tendon results in a spurious correction through a break in the midfoot, resulting in a rocker-bottom foot.
25.
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.
26.
"' Claw toe "'is another similar condition, with dorsiflexion of the proximal phalanx on the lesser metatarsophalangeal joint, combined with flexion of both the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints.
27.
It should be noted that while dorsiflexion of the ankle may be beneficial, it also causes the center of gravity to shift backward, which can cause instability and difficulty in propelling forward during gait.
28.
The articulation at the'ankle'allows not only inversion-eversion movements but also dorsiflexion ( essential for squatting, standing up from prone position, etc . ) and a shorter keel helps achieve this.
29.
The wound is closed with a single absorbable suture or with adhesive strips . The final cast is applied with the foot in maximum dorsiflexion, and the foot is held in the cast for 2 3 weeks.
30.
It encourages the user to make a sideways twist of the wrist to reach the Enter key ( called ulnar deviation ) and to take the bent-wrist position of a police officer halting traffic ( called dorsiflexion ).
