6- Hip and Leg (Sprague) Flashcards
The hip complex comprises all of the following, except:
a) pelvic girdle
b) coxafemoral joint
c) femur
d) femoraltabular joint
d) femoraltabular joint [ i made this up]
How is the hip different than the shoulder?
Function! The hip is more for stability; Shoulder = mobility
If the collodiaphysial angle is < 120 degrees, what is it called?
a) coxa vera
b) coxa valga
a) coxa vera!!
coxa valga = > 135 degrees
Coxa vara or coxa valga?: causes potential shearing damage to the epiphyseal plate at the femoral head
Coxa vara
Coxa vara or coxa valga?: causes altered muscle actiity and intraarticular forces in CFJ with possible cartialge damage
Coxa valga
Increased in angle of collodiaphysial angle is called?
a) anteversion
b) retroversion
c) anteroversion
d) diversion
a) anteversion
Bias of the total rotational ROM toward external rotation is called?
a) anteversion
b) retroversion
c) anteroversion
d) diversion
b) retroversion
Bias of the total rotational ROM toward INTERNAL rotation is called?
a) anteversion
b) retroversion
c) anteroversion
d) diversion
a) anteversion
What do you measure to find the relationship between the femoral head and the acetabulum?
Center edge angle
If the Center edge angle is 18 degrees, what would you call it?
a) Normal
b) abnormal
c) hip dysplasia
c) hip dysplasia (<20)
True or false: The joint capsule in the acetabulum is Mobility AND stability.
TRUE! Mostly provides mobility (ROM) while providing SOME stability
What ligament resists a detraction force in the femoral head?
a) iliofemoral ligament
b) ischiofemoral ligament
c) teres ligament
d) pubofemoral ligament
c) teres ligament
What ligament is also known as the “Y ligament” near the femoral head?
a) teres ligament
b) iliofemoral ligament
c) ischiofemoral ligament
d) pubofemoral ligament
b) iliofemoral ligament
A patient comes into your office complainig of low back pain, ROM limitation into hip exension of the right leg, and iliosacral dysfunction on examination. Oh gosh. What do you think is the problem?
a) sartorious
b) rectus femoris
c) iliopsoas
d) rectus intermedius
c) iliopsoas
A patient comes into your office complainig of low back pain, ROM limitation into hip exension of the right leg, and iliosacral dysfunction on examination. You determine it is a problem of the iliopsoas dysfunction. What test would you use to test your theory?
a) Phalen’s test
b) Thomas Test
c) Rotary Test
d) Fabere’s test
b) Thomas Test
