Q

the bone surfaces of the pubic symphysis joint are covered in __ cartilage, but are kept apart by the presence of the __.

A
  • hyaline

- disc

17
Q

__ muscles attach directly to the sacrum and/or innominate.

these M.’s fxn primarily to __ the SI joint rather than to __ it.

A
  • 35
  • stabilize
  • move
18
Q

the __ muscle is innervated by S1-2.
it primarily fxns to produce external rotation & __ of the femur.
hip flexed @90deg. helps fxn as an abductor & __ __ of the hip.
capable of restricting __ joint motion.

A
  • piriformis
  • abduction
  • internal rotator
  • SI
19
Q

“pelvic floor muscles”: (3)
which muscle group?
they join the __ muscles to complete the pelvic floor.

A
  • pubococcygeus
  • puborectalis
  • iliococcygeus
  • levator ani
  • coccygeus
20
Q

the pelvic floor muscles work in a coordinated manner to ^increase:

A
  • intra-abdominal pressure
  • provide rectal support during defecation
  • inhibit bladder activity
  • help to support the pelvic organs
  • assist in lumbopelvic stability
21
Q

the anterior portion of the sacroiliac joint likely receives innervation from?

A

-the posterior rami of the L2-S2 roots

22
Q

the pelvic area must fxn to absorb the majority of the lower extremity __ which still permitting __ to occur.

A
  • rotation

- motion

23
Q

osteopathic model:

of pelvic complex biomechanics

A
  • sacrum rotates around 2 oblique axes

- the innominate are capable of rotating anteriorly and posterior

24
Q

chiropractic model:

of pelvic complex biomechanics

A
  • as one innominate flexes, the ipsilateral sacral base moves anterior and inferior
  • and as the other innominate extends, the sacral base on that side moves posterior and superior
25
Q

biomechanical model:

of pelvic complex biomechanics

A
  • when the sacrum nutates (<=moves ant.), relative to the innominate, a linear glide occurs b/w the 2 L-shaped articular surfaces of the sacroiliac joint
  • the shorter of the 2 lengths, level w/ S1, lies in a vertical plane
  • the longer length, spanning S2-4, lies in an A-P plane.
26
