Kines-The Pelvic Girdle/Hip Flashcards
List the hip bones
Pelvis Femur Sacrum Ilium bone Pubic Bone Ischium
Describe the Pelvis
made of 3 bones: Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis
Fused at maturity
Describe the Femur
Classification: long bone
Function: lever
longest bone in the body
Describe the Sacrum
It is the extension of the spinal cord
5 fused vertebrae
posteriorly between the 2 pelvic bones
SI joint is formed by the pelvis and sacrum
Describe the Ilium Bone
classification: flat bone
function: protection
Describe the pubic bone
“PUBIS”
Classification: irregular bone
Function: protection
Describe the Ischium
Classification: irregular bone
function: protection
Hip Joint
Large Stable Joint
consists of: head of femur and acetabulum of Pelvis (ball and socket)
Structure: synovial joint
Function: ball and socket joint
Provides: stability, mobility,shock absorption, and protection
3 degrees of freedom:
Frontal, saggital and transverse
Describe the Femoral Head
“ball”
spherical
smooth surface
covered by articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage)
Function: shock absorption, joint nutrition
Describe the acetabulum
“socket”
Latin = little vinegar cup
lined by articular hyaline cartilage
supports entire body weight
List the 3 ligaments that reinforce the joint capsule
Femoroacetabular ligament consists of 3 main ligaments :
Illiofemoral ligament
Ischiofemoral ligament
Pubofemoral Ligament
Discuss the hip joint with respect to the following; type of joint, stability vs mobility.
The hip joint is a ball and socket joint, with the rounded convex femoral head articulating with the acetabulum of the hip bone.
The joint consists of the femur, os coxae (hip bone), joint capsule and its corresponding ligaments, tendons and muscles.
Unlike the shoulder joint, the hip is a more stable joint, but it does sacrifice some range of motion, for this stability.
Discuss the motions of the hip joint
Since this joint is a triaxial joint, it allows motion in all three planes, the sagittal, frontal, and transverse.
Describe the Iliofemoral ligament
ilium to femur
anterior to hip joint
prevents abduction and external rotation
Describe the ischiofemoral ligament
ischium to femur
triangular band of strong fibers
posterior side of hip joint
limits medial rotation
Describe the Pubofemoral Ligament
pubis to femur
anterior to hip joint
limits abduction
