Development: femur

Question 1

what are the FP movements

Answer 1

coxa valga and vara

Question 2

what is coxa valga

Answer 2

increased angel of inclination (goes in pair with genu vaRUM. like strawberries and choc)

Question 3

what is coxa vara

Answer 3

decreased angel of inclination (goes in pair with genu valGUM. like strawberries and choc)

Question 4

what are the TP movements

Answer 4

anteVERSION/ retroVERSION

anteTORSION/ retroTORSION

Question 5

What is anteVERSION

Answer 5

HOF/NOF tilted further towards ant. aspect of body (position!!)

Question 6

What is retroVERSION

Answer 6

HOF/NOF tilted further towards bum (position!!)

Question 7

What is anteTORSION

Answer 7

medial TWIST of distal end of femur

Question 8

What is retroTORSION

Answer 8

lateral TWIST of distal end of femur and/or lack of medial torsion

Question 9

are TORSION and VERSION meant to offset each other?

Answer 9

yes

Question 10

How do you measure femoral TORSION?

Answer 10

Ryders test

Question 11

What is the Ryders test formula

Answer 11

IF medially rotated = Ryders findings + (15-20)
IF laterally rotated = Ryders findings - (15-20)

• *15-20 is the assumed anteVERSION
• **this formula gives you the degree of TORSION.

Question 12

Answer 12

anteVERSION

retroTORSION

Question 13

What TP motion would you have if you are 1. kissing knees 2. supinated

Answer 13

RetroVERSION

anteTORSION
