Anatomy 9.26.12 lower extremity Flashcards
Pelvis (connect?)
connects the lower limb to the axial skeleton at the sacroiliac joint
connects to thigh at hip
Thigh (femur and patella)
connects to pelvis at hip
connects to leg at knee joint
Leg (tibia and Fibula)
Connects to thigh at knee joint
connects to foot at ankele joint
Foot (tarsal, metatarsal, phalanges, and sesamoid)
connects to leg at ankle joint
forms terminal protino of lower extremity
What is fibrous vs cellular components of a joint cavity
Fibrous- also termed articular ligament
Ceular- also termed synovial membrane
What are the associated ligaents of the synovial joint in knee
Capsular
Extracapsular
Intracapsular
Capsular ligament
Ligaments that are thickenigns of the fibrous capsule or articular ligament
Extracapsular
Ligaments that are seaparte from teh artiucalr capsule and outside the joint
Intracapsular
Ligaments that are separate from teh acapusle and inside the joint
Eversion movement
Elevation of the lateral side of the foot
Inversion
Elevation of the medial side of the foot
Invers
What planes do inversion and eversion occur?
Frontal plane
Axis of otion is in the sagittal and transverse plane
Axis is similar to teh PIN of a hinge around an axis (axis of motion)
Plane of motion is always permpendicular to the axis of motion
What is supination of foot?
simultaneous movement of foot in the direction of adduction, inversion, and plantarflexion
What is pronation of foot
simultaneous movement of foot in direction of abducntion ,eversion, and dorsiflexion
OKC vs CKC
Open kinetic chain-non weight-bearing- where the forefoot and midfoot move in relatino to the rearfort
Closed kinetic chain-let and rearfoodmove in relation to the forefoot and midfoot
what does Varus mean?
bent inward or toward midline of body (positional deformity)
What does it mean to be valgus?
means bent outward or away from midline of the body (distal protion that is bent)
genu valgum; hallux abducto valgus
What are the three stance phases (Closed Kinetic Chain)
Contact Period
Midstance Period
Propulsive Period
What is the swing phase (open kinetic chain)
Starts at toe off and ends at heel strike
Runing vs walking in pahses
During walking gait cycle there is a double support phase whereas running gait cycle there is a double float phase
What is the angle of inclincaiton in the femur?
angle between longitudinal axis of shaft of the femur and longitudinal axis of the neck of the femur (coxa vara versus vs coxa valga)
Is bowlegged person genu valgum or genu varum?
Genu Varum
What kind of joing is the hip joint?
Ball and socket type of synovial joint
Triaxial (multiaxial joint) is the hip joint
Axis for flexion/extension, axis for abduction /adduction, and an axis for medial/lateral roation
