Hip and Knee Mechanics Flashcards
external rotation of hip
head of femur glides anteirorly in acetabulum
internal rotation of hip
head of femur glides posteriorly in acetabulum
ligaments of hip?
iliofemoral ligament
ischiofemoral ligament
ligamentum teres capitis femoris
flexors of hip?
psoas major iliacus pectineus rectus femoris sartorius
psoas major
T12-L5 origin
inserts at lesser trochanter
innervation of psoas major
L123
low back pain and hip problem
pain can be reffered to anterior hip and thigh
extensors of hip?
gluteus maximus and hamstrings
gluteus maximus
origin - ilium, iliac crest, erector spinae, sacrum, coccyx, sacrotuberous ligament and gluteus medius fascia
inserts at IT tract of fascia latae
innervation of gluteus maximus?
L5, S1, S2
-inferior gluteal nerve
hip extensor tension?
limit hip flexion
abductors of hip?
gluteus medius and mini us
tensor fascia lata and sartorius
lateral hip and knee pain?
frequently seen with dysfunction of tensor facia lata
gluteus medius
upper outer ilium
inserts into greater trochanter
innervation of gluteus medius?
L5 and S1
-superior gluteal nerve
adductors of hip?
adductor longus, brevis magnus
obturator externus
gracilis
adductor longus?
origin - anterior aspect of pubis
inserts middle third of femur
innervation of adductor longus
L2, L3, L4
-obturator nerve
persistant groin pulls?
inferior pubic symphysis pubis shear
-dysfunction of symphysis pubis
internal rotators of hip?
tensor fascia lata
gluteus minimus and medius
gluteus minimus
origin - outer surface of ilium and greater sciatic notch
inserts greater trochanter
innervation of gluteus minimus
L5 and S1
-superior gluteal nerve
external rotators of hip?
obturators gemelli quadratus femoris gluteus maximus sartorius piriformis
