26
Q

what’s a positive trendelenburg sign?

A
  • damage to superior gluteal nerve

location is right under the glut min
29
Q
obturator internus
origin-
insertion-
nerve-
action-
location
A

origin- obturator membrane surrounding bone
insertion:-greater trochanter- LEAVES PELVIS THRU THE LESSER SCIATIC FORAMEN
nerve-nerve to the obturator internus (L5, S1-2)
action- lateral rotation of the thigh, extension, abduction of flexed thigh
location- right under the superior gemellus and over the inferior gemellus

30
Q
superior gemellus
origin-
insertion-
nerve-
action-
location
A

origin- ischial spine
insertion- tendon of obturator internus
nerve-nerve to the obturator internus (L5, S1-2) (same as obturator internus)
action-lateral rotation of thigh, extension,. abduction of flexed thigh (same as obturator internus)
location- above obturator internus

31
Q
inferior gemellus
origin- 
insertion-
nerve-
action-
location
A

origin- ischial tuberocity
insertion-tendon to the obturator internus
nerve-nerve to the quadratus femoris (L5, S1) (like QF)
action- lateral rotate thigh (like QF)
location -under the obturator internus

32
Q
quadratus femoris 
origin-
insertion-
nerve-
action-
location
A
origin- ischial tuberocity
insertion- interotrocanteric crest 
nerve- nerve to the quadratus femoris (L5-S1)
action-laterally rotate the thigh
location- under the inferior gemellus
