Q

CYCLING

A

The lower limbs don’t touch the ground. You are using the mechanism of the bike and the rotation of your legs to drive the bike

Q

PELVIS ROLE IN LOCOMOTION

A

Force coupling- occurs around acetabular socket (pivot point)
Ant/post musculature= push/pull motion, directly effects locomotion
Need to look at these structures to identify problem
SIJ- modified synovial- L-shaped provides stable structure to adapt to downward force of gravity, ligaments reinforce

Q

FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP OF OPPOSING PELVIC MUSCLES

A

Hip flexors anteriorly rotate pelvis, when hamstrings and abdominal wall are weak
Hamstrings posteriorly rotate pelvis when erector spine group are weak

Q

UNILATERAL STANCE

A

To maintain single limb support must be counter torque of equal weight of head and torso and other leg to stop pelvis dropping

Hip abductors must generate 3xBW to maintain stance
SB toward stance leg reduces need for hip abductor force (produces counter torque)
Loading occurs as result of both ground reaction force and muscular contraction
Primary weight bearing area on acetabulum located on superior portion, thus area must accommodate both ground reactions races and muscular contraction

Q

DYNAMIC Q-ANGLE MEANING

A

Quadratus angle
Healthy hip/pelvis/Q-angle= straight force down during running, abnormalities cause problems
Healthy= dynamic

Q

PURPOSE OF PATELLA

A

Increases leverage for quads
Provides maximum amount of torque available during 20-60 flexion
During knee flexion there is compression of patellofemoral Jt- if patella is not sitting even;y between condyles erosion may occur of condyles + post surface of patella
Stabilises cruciate ligament

17
Q

BODY WEIGHT UP STAIRS

A

3.3x going up

18
Q

BODY WEIGHT DOWN STAIRS

A

7.7x going down

19
Q

CONVEX AND CONCAVE ROLL AND SLIDE

A

Convex= rugby ball
Helps maintain articular surface contact
Maintains Jt congruity through ROM
Knee is example of convex of concave- both bones roll and slide in same direction

20
Q

SCREW-HOME MECHANISM OF KNEE

A

Stabilising mechanism for tibiofemoral Jt during extension (standing)
Requires 10 of ER during last 30 of ext
Mechanically linked to ext and flex of knee and cannot be performed independently
Maximises overall contact area of knee- between fibula and tibia
Increase Jt congruence and stability
Popliteus is muscle that ‘unlocks’ knee prior to locomotion

21
Q

ROLL AND SLIDE - KNEE FLEXION TO EXTENSION

A

Aka standing from sitting
Tibia fixed and quads bring femur into ext
Tibia slides in same direction and femur rolls

22
Q

ROLL AND SLIDE - KNEE EXTENSION TO FLEXION

A

Sitting down
To flex knee must ‘unlock’- popliteal (rotates tibia)
Tibia is fixed and femur moving
Femur rolls in opposite direction to tibia which slides anteriorly
Interplay between gradual contraction of hamstrings to flex knee and gradual controlled relaxation of quads to allowed controlled descent
Antagonist- needs optimal functioning
Cruciate ligament controls anterior slide of tibia

23
Q

FEMUR AND PATELLA MAL-TRACKING

A

Patella Mal-tracking - during flexion/extension movement isn’t smooth on posterior part of the patella (causes erosion)

24
Q

CAUSES OF PATELLA MAL-TRACKING

A
  • Dysplastic hip
  • Laxity of periarticular tissue - quads etc
  • Excessive tightening of lateral patella retinaculum
  • Coxa varus
  • Excessive femoral antiversion - congenital, OA changes in hip
  • Large Q-angle
  • Genu valgum
  • Alteration of foot mechanics
25
Q

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TALUS

A

No muscular attachment, point of contact between distal tibia and fibula as well as calcaneus
Torque converter- causing rotation of leg to be converted to inversion and eversion vectors of foot
Helps adapt foot to react to ground forces
Locking of talus during toe off phase creates stable base for weight bearing snd propulsion
Tibia and fibula movement on talus is a sliding movement which acts in opposite movement to talus which rolls calcaneus

26
Q

THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG IN ADULTHOOD

A
  1. Parkinson’s- shuffling
  2. DDH (developmental dysplasia of hip)- limp
  3. Trendelenburg- ipsilateral weakness of glutes med/min, causing pelvis to drop during mid stance phase (leg off ground)
  4. Toe walking- cerebral palsy
  5. Festinating gait (jerky, uneven gait)- basal ganglia
  6. Foot drop- common peroneal nerve compression, lower motor neuron
  7. Stamping- loss of sensation, common in Px with Type 1 diabetes, can’t feel ground
27
Q

CHILDHOOD CONDITIONS THAT CAN LEAD TO ALTERED GAIT IN ADULTHOOD

A
  1. DDH
  2. Slipped capital femoral head - adolescent problem, growth spurts, interrupted blood supple to the femoral head
  3. Perthe’s (hip)- adolescent
  4. Sever’s (ankle)- swelling/irritation of growth plate in calcaneum- adolescent
  5. Osteomyelitis tumour- common in hip

Need to rule out these conditions before deciding they are MSK

28
Q

HOW IS UNILATERAL STANCE MAINTAINED

A

Body must be in counter torque of equal weight of head, torso and other leg to stop pelvis dropping
Hip abductors must generate 3xBW to maintain stance
SB toward stance leg reduces need for hip abductor force (produces counter torque)
Loading occurs as result of both ground reaction force and muscular contraction
Primary weight bearing area superior portion of acetabulum- this area accommodates both ground reaction forces and muscular contraction

29
Q

INTERNAL INFLUENCING FACTORS OF GAIT

A
  • Vertical displacement
  • COG
  • Single or double leg displacement
  • Lateral pelvic tilt
  • Ant/post rotation of pelvis
  • Pelvic rotation
  • Knee flexion
  • Physiologic valgus at the knee
  • Knee, ankle, foot interactions
  • Muscle power
  • Energy available
  • Feedback
  • Femoral angle of inclination
  • Q angle
  • Patella tracking
  • Role of the talus
30
Q

EXTERNAL INFLUENCING FACTORS OF GAIT

A
  • Gravity
  • COG
  • Inertia
  • Ground reaction force (GRF)
  • External sources of force
31
Q

A
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
