KNEE

Question 1

this is an important landmark for the lower extremity rotation?

Answer 1

patella

Question 2

how should the patella be rotated throughout the three phases of the gait cycle?

Answer 2

internally rotated during the first 25% of the stance phase

externally rotated until it is straight ahead during midstance

patella externally rotates thoughout propulsive period

Question 3

what does the patella follow in rotating?

affect on the swing and contact, also midstance and propulsion

Answer 3

lower limb

internally rotated, externally rotated

Question 4

what planes are involved in with knee in gait analysis?

Answer 4

transverse
frontal
sagittal

Question 5

if the knee is internally rotated in the transverse plane, what does this mean? externally rotated?
example for each?

Answer 5

indicates tight medial musculature or internal femoral position, i.e.
medial hamstring tightness

tight lateral musculature or external femoral position

Question 6

what conditions are affected in the frontal plane?

Answer 6

genu valgum-coxa vara

genu varum-coxa valga

Question 7

what conditions are affected in the sagittal plane?

Answer 7

genu recurvatum
