A

Origin: Superior ramus of the pubis
Insertion: Intertrochanteric line
Anterior

20
Q

Role of the Ligaments During Extension

A

All ligaments in tension, iliofemoral under greatest tension (prevents excessive posterior tilt of pelvis).

21
Q

Role of the Ligaments During Upright Standing

A

All ligaments are under moderate tension.

22
Q

Role of the Ligaments During Hip Flexion

A

All ligaments are relaxed.

23
Q

Role of the Ligaments During Adduction

A

Iliofemoral ligament is taut while pubofemoral and ischiofemoral slacken.

24
Q

Role of the Ligaments During Abduction

A

Pubofemoral and ischiofemoral ligaments are taut and iliofemoral ligament is slack.

25
Q

Role of the Ligaments During External Rotation

A

Pubofemoral and iliofemoral are taut while ischiofemoral slackens.

26
Q

Role of the Ligaments During Internal Rotation

A

Ischiofemoral ligament is taut while pubofemoral and iliofemoral slacken.

27
Q

Arthrokinematics of the Hip

A

Convex femoral head gliding on concave acetabulum.
- Roll and slide in opposite directions.
Hip antero-posterior glide: Flexion, internal rotation
Hip postero-anterior glide: Extension, external rotation
Hip inferior glide: Abduction
Hip superior glide: Adduction

28
Q

Line of Pull for Muscles of the Hip

A

Usually directed from insertion towards origin.
Hip joint is weight-bearing, transmitting the weight of the body above via the lower limbs to the ground.
- Capable of immediate controlled power when needed for sudden powerful activities.
- Retain the ability to maintain a set position for long periods of time.

29
Q

Limitation of Hip Flexion

A

With flexed knee: contact of the thigh with the anterior abdominal wall.
With extended knee: tension in the hamstrings.

39
Q

Forward Rotation of the Pelvis on the Femur

A

Occurs in unilateral stance (on one leg) when the side of the pelvis, opposite to the supporting hip, moves anteriorly. It produces internal rotation of the supporting hip.

40
Q

Backward Rotation of the Pelvis on the Femur

A

Occurs when the side of the pelvis, opposite to the supporting hip, moves posteriorly. It produces external rotation of the supporting hip joint.

41
Q

Rotation of the Pelvis

A

Motion of the entire pelvic ring in the transverse plane around a vertical axis.

42
Q

Anterior and Posterior Pelvic Tilt

A

Motions of the entire pelvic ring in the sagittal plane around a coronal axis.

43
Q

Anterior Tilt of the Pelvis

A

Produces hip flexion on a fixed femur.
Moves ASIS anteriorly and inferiorly.
Sacrum moves further away from the femur.

44
Q

Posterior Tilt of the Pelvis

A

Produces hip extension on a fixed femur.

Brings the pubis symphysis up and the sacrum closer to the femur.

45
Q

Lateral Tilt of the Pelvis

A

Frontal plane, antero-posterior axis
Normally aligned pelvis has the two ASIS horizontal (same position).
During unilateral stance, one hip is pivot for motion of the opposite side of pelvis.
Elevate: pelvis hiking
Drop: pelvis drop

46
Q

Lateral Pelvic Shift

A

Bilateral stance, hip and knee on one leg are flexed, making the opposite side weight bare and work like during unilateral stance.
