24
Q

Baker’s cyst will be aggravated by what movements

A

walking
stairs
knee flexion of any kind

25
Q

Pre-patellar bursitis will be aggravated by what movements

A

knee ex and flex

any activity where it requires being on your knees directly

26
Q

Overweight, Older, Weak Gluts Causing medial stress to knee

A

OA

27
Q

May see genu varus at knee

A

OA

28
Q

Commonly torn due to valgus stress placed at knee

A

Medial meniscus

29
Q

MOI usually slight flexion, WB and some rotation

A

Meniscus

30
Q

Injury due to a non-contact rotational stress with foot planted and knee extended

A

ACL- force when the knee is extended causing anterior translation of tibia on femur

31
Q

Increased Q angle puts you at greater risk of this injury

A

ACL

32
Q

Quad dominance over Hamstrings increases your chance of this injury

A

ACL

33
Q

MOI is usually a falling on a flexed knee

A

PCL- usually no inflammation

34
Q

Usually from valgus stress, return from a jump or rotation stress with knee slightly flexed or extened

A

MCL

35
Q

Varus force to knee MOI

A

LCL

36
Q

Patella alta, genu valgus and increased Q angle, excessive IR of femur on tibia, Tight ITB leads to what dysfunction

A

patllofemoral dysfunction

37
Q

Overuse injury- Runners, downhill runners, poor body mechanics

A

IT Band syndrome

38
Q

Weak glut med with excessive IR of femur leads to what

A

IT band sydrome

39
Q

History of overuse in eccentrically loading the quads- running, jumping, squatting
Pain increases during or after use

A
