Innominates Flashcards
roles of the pelvis
- body support
- locomotion
- maintains stability
- at base of vertebral column but still far from ground
Pelvis potential for dysfunction
weight of the upper body directed through the spine and axial skeleton downward and the resistance to forces from below form a balance at the pelvis. injury, postural and muscle imbalances from above or below can cause somatic dysfunction
pelvis roles
- bowl for GI system
- supports GU system
- contains lymphatic and vascular structure for all pelvic contents and circulatory structures below
significant structures influencing LE circulation and drainage
- pelvic diaphragm
- inguinal area
Summary of pelvic functions
- biomechanical function and balance (foundation for support and locomotion)
- reproduction (genital structures)
- elimination (GI and urologic)
- vascular and lymphatic functions for the region
Innominates child vs adult
3 separate bones as child, completely fuse as adult
Acetabulum composition
bone from 3 different ossification centers
true ligaments
bone to bone
accessory ligaments
attach at another ligament, a tendon or other fascia
ligament functions
- limit abnormal or excessive motion at a joint
- permits normal motion
- quality is slightly elastic
- prevent excessive motion as part of a reflex response
sacrospinous ligament
sacrum to spine of the ischium, deep to sacrotuberous ligament, blends with sacrotuberous at sacrum, forms part of origin where coccygeus muscle arises
iliolumbar ligament
from ilia to 5th lumbar vertebrae, stabilizes L5, stabilizes anterior motion of lower lumbar spine, restricts anterior and rotary motion of L5, blends with the upper part of the anterior SI ligament
anterior sacroiliac ligament
covers much of sacroiliac joint, connects third sacral segment to the lateral side of the pre-auriclar sulcus, thicker than the posterior SI ligaments to prevents the sacrum form popping out anteriorly
inguinal ligament
asis to superior pubic rami, forms the floor of the inguinal canal, origin to the internal oblique and transversus abdominus muscle
sacrotuberous ligament
sacrum to ischial tuberosity, gluteus maximus attachment, connects with the fascia of the pelvis
posterior sacroiliac ligament
covers much of sacroiliac joint, from the third and fourth sacral segments, ascend to PSIS and posterior end of internal lip of liliac crest, blends with sacrotuberous ligament and thoracolumbar fascia
interosseous sacroiliac ligament
major bond between the bones, filling the irregular space posterosuperior to the joint. covered posteriorly by the posterior sacroiliac ligament
pubic symphysis
each of joints surfaces covered by fibrocartilage, linked across the midline to adjacent surfaces by fibrocartilage, surrounded by interwoven layers of collagen fibers, two ligaments associated: superior pubic ligament, inferior pubic ligament
forces on pubic symphysis
- strong posterior ligaments of the sacrum
- articulation of the sacroiliac joint
- forces pushing symphysis together
