Hip/Pelvis Flashcards
Hip bones formed by fusion of three smaller bones
Ilium (top), Ischium (lower rear), and pubis (lower forward)
Muscle pairs of Hip/Pelvis
Flexors/Extensors
Abductors/Adduction
Internal/External Rotators
Kegel (Pelvic Floor)
Foundation of all of the internal organs
Part of core
Helps stability of core and pelvis
ASIS
Hip bones
Anterior superior iliac spine
PSIS
Posterior superior iliac spine
Hip
Consists of ilium (acetabulum) and femoral head
Pelvis (pelvic girdle) bones
Consists of the sacrum, coccyx, and the two hip bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis)
Pelvis stability
The ability to hold pelvis in neutral position against work
What causes one to lose pelvic stability?
When the intrinsic muscles are not strong enough to fight the pull of the larger muscles or when there is an imbalance between opposing large muscle groups.
Articulate cartilage
Layer of cartilage lining the acetabulum (socket of hip joint) as well as the head of the femur
Does not have a blood supply and receives its nourishment from the flow of the synovial fluids
Movement of hips/pelvis
Flexion/extension
Abduction/adduction
Medial/lateral rotation
Retroversion/anteversion
