Exam 3 Flashcards
a bow legged appearance of knees and lower legs indicates what kinematic posture
genu varum
what is the normal Q angle for men and women
14 in men
17 in women
the ankle joint is known as
talocrural joint or mortise joint
which bone has the sustentaculum tail
calcaneus bone
which bone does the tibia sit on
talus
the top of the tibia and fibula for which joint
proximal tibiofibular joint
which structures are involved in posteromedial rotation instability in the knee
MCL and PCL
popliteal ligaments
semimembranosis
joint capsule
which ligament connects the tibia and fibula from proximal to distal
interosseous membrane
what joint is found between the talus and calcaneus
subtalar joint
where does the patellar tendon attach on the tibia
tibial tuberosity
open kinetic chains:
-distal segment is freely moving
-proximal segment is fixed
-insertion moves towards origin
a soccer kick is which type of kinetic chain movement
open chain
a closed kinetic chain:
-distal segment is fixed
-proximal segment is freely moving
-origin moves to insertion
what is the action of the sartorius muscle
knee flexion
tibial internal rotation
-assists with hip flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation
which exercise is impacted due to decreased dorsiflexion
squats
which kinetic chain is a prone extension with toes tucked on table
closed, distal end is fixed
pronation in a closed chain:
-calcaneal eversion (valgus)
-talar head adducts and plantar flexes
-tibia and fibula internally rotate
-medial longitudinal ligament depresses (from talar adduction)
Supination in open chain:
-calcaneal plantar flexion
-inversion (varud)
-adduction
medial gliding and rolling continues, spinning at lateral condyle which locks joint
screw home mechanism
supination in closed chain:
-calcaneal inversion (varus)
-talar head abduction and dorsiflexion
-tibia/fibula externally rotate
-medial longitudinal arch elevates (talar abduction)
the distal tibiofibular joint is what type of joint
amphiarthrodal syndesmosis
what part of the meniscus is vascularized in adults
outer edge
10-25% of lateral
10-30% of medial
the cartilage attached to tibial plateau
meniscus
what ligaments limit extension
ACL and PCL
MCL and LCL
normal range of motion for knee flexion
135-145 degrees
in what range of knee flexion does the iliotibial tract act as a knee extensor
0-30 degrees
average amount of normal femoral anteversion
15 degrees
what limits dorsiflexion/ posterior slide of talus and inversion
calcaneofibular ligament
loss of arch in the foot is caused by
overpronation
plantar flexion, anterior slide of talus, eversion/abduction is limited by
tibionavicular ligament (deltoid)
transverse plane pairs with
longitudinal axis
inversion and eversion occurs is which plane
frontal (coronal)
flexion and extension occur in which plane
sagittal
which hindfoot movement increases rigidity of midfoot and forefoot
plantarflexion
what plane does abduction and adduction occur in
transverse
rotation of the knee is paired with which motion
flexion
