Knee, Ankle, Foot Flashcards

1
Q

Knee (Function, Joints)

A

Function- shortens the leg during swing phase, lengthens @ stance, transmits weight btw hip & ankle, consists of tibio-femoral joint and patella-femoral joint

Q

Tibio-femoral Joint

A

modified hinge joint, technically biaxial (dom: flex/ext, some rotation of femur on tib due to asymmetry of femoral condyles, medial is larger)

Q

Femoral/ Tibial Rotation in open chain flex/ext

A

tib on fem (concave on convex), lat condyle stops but med continues, giving external tib rotation w/knee ext and tib int rotation w/flexion

Q

patella-femoral joint

A

diarthrodial, planar joint, slides to increase mechanical advantage of quads

  • can lose 50-60% or torque production
  • translatory: up & lateral w/ext, down & medial w/flexion
