Q

For maximal stretch of hip flexors, should the patient be in external or internal rotation? Why?

A

Internal rotation, because the hip flexors insert at the lesser trochanter and internal rotation turns the lesser trochanter backwards, which stretches the hip flexors more.

Q

What is the screw home mechanism of the knee?

A

The screw home mechanism is when the knee is locking, the tibia goes into external rotation during the last 30 degrees of extension in open chain. In closed chain, the femur internally rotates on the tibia. This occurs because the medial condyle is larger than the lateral.

-Obliquus capitis superior and inferior
-Semispinalis capitis
-They compress the occipital nerve which causes headaches

119
Q

What happens if your head is forward an inch more than it should be?

A

For every inch your head is forward, it adds the equivalent of an extra 100% of the weight of the head to your neck

120
Q

What is Fryette’s 1st law?

A

When the spine is in neutral, side bending to one side will be accompanied by rotation to the OPPOSITE side

121
Q

What is Fryette’s 2nd law?

A

When the spine is in a flex/extended position, side bending will be accompanied by rotation to the SAME side

122
Q

What is Fryette’s 3rd law?

A

When motion is introduced in one plane, it will reduce motion in the other two planes regardless of order

123
Q

Facet open/close rules

A

Lumbar/thoracic
-SF R- R closes/L opens
-Flexion- both open
-Extension- both close
-Rotation R- R opens/L closes

Cervical
-SF R/Rot R- R closes/L opens
-Flexion- both open
-Extension- both close

124
Q

How much knee flexion is needed for normal gait?

A

About 60 degrees

125
Q

How much knee extension is needed for normal gait?

A

All of it!!! 0 degrees

126
Q

How should you assess hamstring length on a patient with a bad knee? What if your patient has a bad back?

A

-Assess hamstring length using a straight leg if they have a bad knee.
-Use 90/90 if the patient has a bad back.

127
Q

What should you always stabilize and protect during stretching?

A

The back!

128
Q

When does the knee extensor mechanism need to be limited?

A

-Contusions and tears to quadriceps
-Patellar fracture
-Patellar tendon rupture
-Osgood Schlatters disease

129
Q

What happens to the compressive forces on the patellofemoral joint during knee flexion?

A

The compressive forces on the patellofemoral joint increase exponentially with progressive knee flexion

130
Q

If someone has patello-femoral issues, how should the quads be strengthened?

A

Knee bend should be limited to 0-40 degrees during quad strengthening in a patient with patello-femoral issues.

131
Q

What are common movement dysfunctions at the knee?

A

-Medial collapse
-Excessive lateral tracking

132
Q

What is excessive lateral tracking? What causes it?

A

-Increased lateral force on the patella
-It can be caused by increased femoral anteversion which can create a muscle imbalance between the vastus lateralis and the vastus medialis

133
Q

What causes medial collapse?

A

-Increased femoral anteversion
-Weakness in hip abductors and external rotators
-Excessive foot pronation

134
Q

What happens when there is sudden and forceful medial collapse of the knee?

A

-MCL sprain
-Meniscal tear
-ACL tear

135
Q

What factors contribute to excessive lateral tracking?

A

-Females more likely to get it due to wider pelvis
-Greater femoral anteversion
-Increased Q angle
-Leads to bowstring effect

136
Q

What is the bowstring effect?

A

When the vastus medialis is weak, so the vastus lateralis is pulling up and laterally and the quadriceps tendon is pulling down and laterally, while the patella is being pulled laterally. It makes a bowstring shape

137
Q

What can excessive lateral tracking cause?

A

-Non specific anterior knee pain
-Patellar dislocation

138
Q

What is femoral anteversion? What is the result of it?

A

-When the head of the femur extends more anteriorly than the neck of the femur
-Greater than 15 degrees is abnormal
-It can cause inward rotation of the femur, tibia, and ankle (pigeon toed)
-Excessive lateral tracking

139
Q

What is the mechanism of a trimalleolar fracture?

A

-Traumatic compression, valgus, and external rotation across the ankle
-Leads to lateral malleolar fracture, avulsion fracture of medial malleolus, and fracture of the posterior lip of tibial mortice

140
Q

Which joint does most ankle motion occur at?

A

At the tibio-talar joint

141
Q

What are the main ligaments that protect the ankle? What side are they on?

A

-Deltoid ligament (medial)
-Anterior talofibular (lateral)
-Calcaneofibular (lateral)
-Posterior talofibular (lateral)

142
Q

How do 90% of ankle sprains occur?

A

Inversion stress

143
Q

What causes a low foot arch? What causes a high foot arch?

A

-Increased pronation of the ankle causes a low foot arch
-Increased supination of the ankle causes a high foot arch

144
Q

What bone in the foot has no muscular attachments?

A

The talus

145
Q

How is the transverse arch formed?

A

By the bases of the metatarsal bones

146
Q

What are the medical terms for flat arches and high arches?

A

-Low arch: pes planus
-High arch: pes cavus

147
Q

What muscles support the arches?

A

-TA
-TP
-Fibularis longus
