Foundational Concepts Flashcards
Coxa Valga is an ___________ in the angle of inclination
it causes a _______ limb
patients have ______________ when the hip is in adduction
They commonly adopt positions of ___________
it’s associated with genu ___________
increased
longer
instability
abduction
varum
Coxa Vara is a _______ in the angle of inclination
it causes a ____________
Patients have greater ____________ but increased _______________
patient’s adopt position of hip ________
typically you see this with genu ____________
decrease
shorter limb
greater stability, increased shear forces on femoral neck
hip adduction
genu valgum
On the lateral ankle, the the
___________ is the weakest and most commonly injured
It is stressed w/ what motions?
anterior talofibular ligament
plantarflexion, adduction, and inversion. (Supination)
The calcaneofibular is stressed when the ankle is ________
dorsiflexed and inverted
note: second most commonly injured
the posterior talofibular ligament is stressed when the ankle is
_____________
dorsiflexed and abducted (copy pasted from the book)
note: rarely torn on its own
The __________ in weightbearing also can be
considered to act as a ______________ between three joints:
(1) the tibiofibular mortise
(2) the calcaneus (the subtalar joint)
(3) the navicular bone (the talonavicular joint)
Talus
Ball Bearing
Excessive pronation of the rearfoot has been associated with a ________________
With rearfoot pronation in weightbearing, the forefoot must supinate at the TMT joints to maintain appropriate weight distribution across the metatarsal heads. If adaptive tissue changes result in a sustained TMT supination, the deformity is known as a ____________
Forefoot varus
Forefoot varus
For normal walking, we need a hip ROM from approximately ___° of extension to __° of
flexion,
a knee range from straight (0°) to __° flexion,
an ankle range from __° of plantarflexion to _° dorsiflexion
