Lab Concepts

Question 1

What is the typical pathophysiology for a hip abduction SD?

Answer 1

hypertonic IT band (connects to tensor fascia lata)

Question 2

What is the typical pathophysiology for a hip adduction SD?

Answer 2

hypertonic long or short adductors

Question 3

What is the FABER position?

Answer 3

Flexed, ABducted, Externally Rotated

Question 4

What causes hip extension SD with a straight leg and with knee bent?

Answer 4

Straight leg = hamstrings

Knee bent = gluteus maximus

Question 5

What test would you use for possible hip flexion SD?

Answer 5

Thomas test

Question 6

Describe anterior and posterior glide for the tibiofemoral joint

Answer 6

Anterior glide: as knee extends, tibia glides anteriorly on femur
Posterior glide: as knee flexes, tibia glides posteriorly on femur

Question 7

How do you induce abduction of the distal tibia?

Answer 7

apply valgus force to the knee

Question 8

How do you induce adduction of the distal tibia?

Answer 8

apply varus force to the knee

Question 9

Which motions are associated w/ posterior fibular head?

Answer 9

Supination (plantar flexion, adduction, and inversion)

Question 10

Which motions are associated w/ anterior fibular head?

Answer 10

Pronation (dorsiflexion, abduction, and eversion)

Question 11

What preference does the cuboid bone have?

Answer 11

eversion glide w/ plantar glide

Question 12

What preference does the navicular bone have?

Answer 12

inversion glide w/ plantar glide

Question 13

What preference does the cuneiforms have?

Answer 13

plantar glide only

Question 14

What makes up the medial longitudinal arch?

Answer 14

calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuneiforms 1-3 and metatarsals 1-3

Question 15

What makes up the lateral longitudinal arch?

Answer 15

calcaneus, talus, cuboid, and metatarsals 4-5
