lecture 19: anterior and medial thigh Flashcards
true or false: the femur is completely straight
false, has an angle
joint of the knee are further medial in comparison to the hip
what is the valgus angle
knee goes more medial than the hip
the valgus angle is important for what
bipedal gait
know the differrent bony landmarks of the femur
.
what is the function of the condyles on the femur
articualr surfaces for the tibia
what is teh function of the supracondylar ridges
muscles attachment
where is the intercondylar eminence located
between the tibial condyles
what is the function of the intercondylar eminence
for the cruciate ligament attachemtn
what are the reciprocal surfaces for the artocualtion w condyles of the femur
tibial plateaus
what is the major weight bearing bone of the leg
tibia
true or false: we have both a lateral and medial malleoli
true
what type of joint is the interosseus membrane betweent he tibia and fibula
syndesmosis
know the bony lanmarks of the tibia and fibula
what type of joint is the knee
synovial, modified hinge joint
why is the knee considered a synovial, modified hinge joint
because it can do some medial and lateral rotation in addition to the flexion and extension
what are the movements possible at the knee joint
flexion/extension
some medial and lateral rotation
true or false: we have unlimited range for the medial and lateral rotation at the knee
false, limited
which has more motion possible, medial or lateral rotation at the knee
lateral 35 degrees
what is medial and lateral rotation at the knee
rotation of the tibia to the femur with the knee flexed (sitting)
true or false, medial and lateral rotation is rotation of the fibula to the femur with the knee flexed (sitting)
false, tibia
what are the major hip flexors
psoas major and iliacus as ilipsoas
what is the proximal attachment of the psoas major
T12- L4/L5
what is the porximal attachemnt of the illiacus
illiac fossa
what is the illiopsoas
when the illiacus and psoas major merge into the lesser trocanter
what is the insertion of the iliopsoas m
lesser trochanter
what is the action of the psoas major and illiacus
hip flexior
(and some lateral rotaion)
true or false: the psoas major and illiacus can only do hip flexion
false, also some lateral rotation
can the psoas minor contribute the hip flexion
no because it does no cross the hip joint
it is responisble for weak lumbar flexion
does sartorius begin lateral and end medial or vice versa
begin lateral and moves mediall
what is the origin of sartorius
ASIS
what is the insertion of the sartorius
anteromedial tibia in pes anserinus
what type of muscle is the sartorius
strap like
what is the action of the sartorius
weak knee flexion
HIP: flexion, lateral rotation and abduction
understnad the position of the sartorius
why is the reason for the name of teh sartorisu
sartor= latin for tailor
when engaged in all its hip functions, sartorius contributes to sitting cross legged in tailor position
how many muscles are there part of the quadricep femoris
4
what is the common action of the quadricep femoris
knee extension
what are the 2 main hip flexors
ilipsoas
rectus femoris
what muscle in the quadricep femoris is responsible for hip flexion
rectus femoris
what is the only muscle of the quads that cross the hip
rectus femoris
what is the origin of the rectus femoris
AIIS
what is teh isnertion of the rectus femoris
quadricep tendon
