Q

when does medial and lateral rotation occur?

A

medial stance

lateral swing

17
Q

what is the main function of gluteus medius and minimus?

A

abduction and maintaining of the position on the coronal plane on swing phase. They contract and pull downwards

18
Q

what nerves five supply to the hip joint?

A

articular branches of femoral and obturator nerve

19
Q

Myotomes of hip flexion

A

L2-3

20
Q

Myotomes of hip extension

A

L4-5

21
Q

what structure lies behind the pelvic articulation and might be damaged in a-p dislocation?

A

Sciatic Nerve

22
Q

coxa valga is?

A

when the head of the femur articulates in an gale to more than 125 degrees casing the keens to be more inwards than normal

23
Q

coxa vara is?

A

when the head of the femur articulates in an gale to less than 120 degrees casing the keens to be more outwards than normal increasing the strain on the neck

24
Q

if the femur is fractures what happens with the limb?

A

external rotation and shortening of the limb due to muscle spams

25
Q

Osteoarthritis (OA) is ….

A

painful, degenerative joint disease that often involves the hips, knees, neck, lower back, or small joints of the hands. OA usually develops in joints that are injured by repeated overuse from performing a particular task or playing a favorite sport or from carrying around excess body weight. Eventually this injury or repeated impact thins or wears away the cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones in the joint. As a result, the bones rub together, causing a grating sensation. Joint flexibility is reduced, bony spurs develop, and the joint swells. Usually, the first symptom of OA is pain that worsens following exercise or immobility. Treatment usually includes analgesics, topical creams, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (known as NSAIDs); appropriate exercises or physical therapy; joint splinting; or joint replacement surgery for seriously damaged larger joints, such as the knee or hip.
