Final Exam Flashcards
what pulses are to be palpated after an acute traumatic injury to the knee
posterior tibial
dorsalis pedis
action of the rectus femoris
flexes the hip
extends the knee
if a palpable clunk or shift occurs approx 20-30 degrees of knee flexion during a pivot-shit test this may indicative of what
anterolateral rotary instability of the knee
positive Thompson test is indicative of
ruptured Achilles tendon
what muscle flexes both the foot and the knee
gastrocnemius
which muscles invert the ankle
tibialis posterior
flexor digitorum longus
flexor hallucis longus
a bball player reports with burning pain along the lateral aspect of his right knee during and after running, no edema or bruising is found but is tender. what special test may be positive
ober’s test
a lacrosse player comes limping in with assistance, holding his right leg in slight hip and knee flexion with a large bulge in the proximal thigh; only able to partially straighten the leg and pain on the anterior thigh, what is it
ruptured rectus femoris muscle
what test is used to detect a possible meniscal tear
McMurrays
what type of force typically causes injury to the MCL, medial meniscus and ACL
