Final Exam Study Guide Flashcards
Bones of the lower extremity
spine, pelvis, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, calcaneus, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges
Directional movements
- flexion/extension
- abduction/adduction
- inversion/eversion
- plantar flexion/dorsiflexion
Muscles/soft tissue structures
quadriceps, hamstrings, patellar tendon, IT band, gastrocnemius/soleus, achilles tendon, plantar fascia
Injury factors
- severity
- chronic vs acute
- type
Injury factors: severity
- mild (grade 1)
- moderate (grade 2)
- severe (grade 3)
Injury factors: type
- strain
- sprain
- fracture/stress fracture
- contusion/bursitis
- dislocation/subluxation
First aid/treatment for mild strains/sprains/tendinitis
- remove from play and apply R.I.C.E. principle
- monitor and refer to physician if symptoms and signs worsen or do not subside within a few days
First aid/treatment for moderate/severe sprains/strains/tendinitis
- remove from play and complete rest
- apply brace/sling/splint if needed
- monitor and treat for shock
- apply P.R.I.C.E. principle
- refer to physician
First aid/treatment for subluxations
- immobilize
- monitor and treat for shock
- check for neurovascular integrity (activate EMS if compromised)
- apply P.R.I.C.E. and refer to physician
First aid/treatment for dislocations
- activate EMS
- immobilize/stabilize in position found
- splint if needed
- do NOT reduce
- monitor and treat for shock
First aid for fracture
- if open fracture or neurovascular compromise, activate EMS
- stabilize proximal and distal to the injury site and splint
- monitor and treat for shock
- refer to physician
Return to participation requirements
- full strength, full ROM, full flexibility, pain free
- if seen by a physician, they must be cleared by that physician
Components of a knee sprain
- ligaments (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL)
- grade 1: slight tear
- grade 2: moderate tear
- grade 3: complete tear
Ankle sprain
- inversion: sprained lateral ligaments
- eversion: sprained medial ligaments
- high (syndesmotic): sprained tibiofibular ligaments
Genu varum
knees go outward
Genu valgum
knees go inward
genu recurvatum
knees go back when standing
Q-angle
the angle formed between the quadriceps and patellar tendon
The Q-angle is higher in
women (18 degrees. men is 13 degrees)
Women’s increased Q-angle causes
pressure on the lower body
Pes cavus
high arch
- the supinator rolls to outside/lateral
Pes planus
flat footed
- the pronator rolls to inside/medial
Components of the female athlete triad
- low energy availability
- mental disturbance
- low bone mineral density
Low energy availability
- disordered eating
- restrictive eating
- not eating enough
Mental disturbance
- irregular periods
- amenorrhea
Low bone mineral density
- osteopenia
- osteoporosis
Abdominal strain
- rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus, internal/external oblique
Low back strain
- latissimus dorsi, internal/external oblique
Side stitch
- pain in the side typically due to running
Hip dislocation/subluxation
- head of the hip bone typically lies above the socket
- severe pain, tingling in leg and foot, sense of looseness, heard a pop
Hip pointer
- bruise on the iliac crest
