24
Q

what is the articulation of the patellofemoral joint

A

patella within femoral groove

25
Q

how does the femur move not he patella in CKC

A

under the patella

26
Q

how much does the patellofemoral joint more in relation to femorla condyle

A

7-8 cm

27
Q

pertaining to patella tracking what happens as the knee extends

A

patella moves superiorly

28
Q

what are some malaligment and tracking problems

A

 Increased Q-angle
 Short ITB
 Weak hip abd/ER
 Foot pronation
 Lax medial patellar
retinaculum
 Insufficient VMO?
 Deficits in lateral aspect
of intercondylar groove
 Pelvic Dysfunction

29
Q

what is the normal knee ROM for extension and flexion

A

extensions: 0°
flexion: 135°

30
Q

what is open packed and closed pack for the knee

A

open packed: 25° of flexion
closed packed: full knee extension

31
Q

how much ROM is needed to make a full revolution on a bike

A

~110°

32
Q

in CKC the patellar compression raised between what degrees of flexion

A

between 30-60°

33
Q

during OKC when is there patellar compression

A

greatest joint reaction force is at 30°

34
Q

how much tibia rotation is there for IR and ER

A

IR and ER is 20-30°

35
Q

IR of the tibia causes what ligaments to become taut

A

AMB of ACL and sMCL

36
Q

what wraps around what during IR of the tibia

A

ACL wraps around the PCL

37
Q

during ER what stretches over what

A

ALC stretches over the lateral condyle

38
Q

with the knee flexed what casues the ER of the tibia

A

TFL and BF

39
Q

what provides a MR (unlock) from a full extension

A

popliteus

40
Q

what does joint effusion of the knee lead to

A

inhibiton of the quadriceps

41
Q

what does joint effusion results in during walking

A

low sustained quadriceps activator and prolonged hamstring activation

42
Q

___ rupture can lead to bruising in the calf with
no significant joint effusion

A

PCL

43
Q

in what position/activity is the patellofemoral join reaction forces the highest

A

deep squat

44
Q

for every 1 lb of weight loss , there is a __lb reduction in knee load per step

A

4

45
Q

what is the main knee extensor in the leg

A

quads

46
Q

what does the quads do in closed chain activities

A

the quads control the amount of knee flexion , also causes knee extension thru reverse mm pull on th femur

47
Q

in the erect posture , wehn the knee is locked , the quads does not need to function when the gravity line is where a

A

dallas anterior to the axis of motion

48
Q

what is the qaud function in open chain activities

A

a strong contraction of the quad mms is required to overcome the physiological and mechanical disadvantages of the mm to complete the final 15° of motion

49
Q

what is the main knee flexor in the knee

A

hamstrings

50
Q

what does the hamstrings do in closed chain

A

can assist w knee extension by pulling on the tibia

51
Q

what is the gastrocnemius main function at the knee

A

during WB is to support the posterior capsule against hyperextension forces (can also assist with knee flexion)

52
Q

what mm supports the posterior capsule adn acts to unlock the knee (screw home mechanism)

A

popliteus

53
Q

what is in the pes anserinus mm group

A

sartorius , gracilis , semtendiniosus

54
Q

what is the function of the Pes anserinus muscle group (sartorius, gracilis, semitendinosus)

A

provides medial stability to the knee , affects rotation of the tibia in a closed chain

55
Q

Lack of hip IR , hip flexion contracture and lack of ankle DF ROM can cause pain where

A

the knee
