32
Q

capsular pattern of restriction patellofemoral

A

flexion first then extension

33
Q

proximal/superior tibiofibular joint type

A

synovial
plane
diarthrosis
uniaxial

34
Q

artic surfaces of proximal tibiofibular

A

articular facet on fibular head
facet on lateral tibial condyle

35
Q

ligaments of proximal tibiofibular joint

A

fibrous capsule
anterior & posterior superior tibiofibular
lateral collateral
upper interosseous membrane

** only does gliding**

36
Q

mid tibiofibular joint type

A

syndesmosis
amphiarthrosis
uniaxial

37
Q

ligaments of mid-tibiofibular

A

interosseous membrane

38
Q

artic surfaces of mid tibiofibular joint

A

interosseous membrane connecting the shafts of the tibia and fibula

39
Q

distal tibiofibular joint type

A

fibrous
syndesmosis
amphiarthrosis
uniaxial

40
Q

distal tibiofibular artic surfaces

A

articular area on inferior end of fibula
facet on inferior end of tibia

41
Q

distal tibiofibular ligaments

A

interosseous membrane
anterior & posterior inferior tibiofibular ligaments

42
Q

what is an example of open kinetic chain

A

kicking a ball

43
Q

what does dorsiflexion cause the fibula to do

A

move superiorly causing the proximal/superior tibiofibular joint to be stressed

44
Q

in the GAIT cycle what does the tibia do during swing phase

A

tibia internally rotates

(knee flexion)

45
Q

what does the tibia do during knee extension in the GAIT cycle

A

the tibia externally rotates during the stance phase

(knee extension)

46
Q

rotation of the femur occurs automatically between full extension 0 degrees and 20 degrees of knee flexion

A

during knee extension the tibia glides anteriorly on femur and PCL elongates

during last 20 of knee extension, anterior tibial glide persists on tibia medial condyle

prolonged ant. glide on medial side produces external tibial rotation
