lecture 6: therapeutic exercsies for the knee Flashcards
what is a large seasamoid bone in the quad tendon
patella
in the knee what ligaments provide anterior posterior stability
ACL and PCL
in the knee what provides medial lateral stability
MCL and LCL
what is the menisci connected it
connected to tibial condyle and capsule by coronary ligaments
each menisci are connected by what
trasnverse ligament
what is the medial meniscus firmly attached to the
joint capsule and MCL ,ACL , PCL and semimembranosus mm
what is the lateral meniscus attached to
PCL and popliteus tendon via capsule capsular connections
which ligament resist valgus force
MCL (sMCL primarily)
sMCL resists what
tibial ER at 30° flexion
when is the sMCL taut
at end range of flexion and extension
what are the 2 main bundles of the ACL
Anteromedial bundle (smaller)
Posterolateral bundle (larger)
{Intermediate bundle} (maybe
when is each anteromedial bundle and posterolateral bundle taut
anteromedial- flexion
posterolateral - extension
what is the function of the ACL
percent anterior translation of tibia
provide stability during tibial rotation
limit hyperextension
what becomes taut with IR and ER of tibia with the most notes at 30° flexion
ACL
in knee extension when ACL bundle provides restraint to rotational forces
posterolateral is taut
AMB is slack
in knee flexion when ACL bundle provides restraint to anterior translation
AMB is taut
PLB is slack
if the AMB is gone then there will be more anterior translation
what are the 2 bundles of the PCL
ALB (larger)
PMB
when is the ALB of the PCL taut and lax
taut in knee flexion
lax in knees extension
when is the PMB of the PCL taut and lax
Taut in knee extension
Lax in knee flexion
when is the PCL vulnerable to injury
to a posterior force to the proximal tibia when the knee is FLEXED
what is the main function of the PCL
resist excessive posterior translation of the tibia
what is the medial menisci attached to , what shape is it and is it mobile or not mobile
dMCL
Semimembranosus
Quadriceps
C shaped
not mobile
