Lower Extremities ROM And Muscles Flashcards
Gluteus Maximus innervation and nerve root
Inferior gluteal nerve L5, S1, S2
Which ligament limits internal rotation of hip
Ischiofemoral ligament
TFL innervation and nerve root
Superior gluteal nerve L4, 5, S1
Strongest ligament in the body
Iliofemoral ligament
Which ligament limits hip abduction
Pubofemoral ligament
Piriformis innervation and nerve root
Nerve to piriformis L5, S1, S2
Prime hip extensor
Gluteus maximus
Gluteus medius and minimus innervation and nerve root
Superior gluteal nerve L4, 5, S1
Normal angle between femoral neck and shaft of femur
Males = 125º Females = 115-120º
What is Ely’s test
Femoral nerve stretch test - patient prone, flex knee and extend hip to stretch femoral nerve.
If patient is prone and knees are flexed, what does it mean if one knee is higher than the other? If one knee is more anterior than the other?
One knee is higher = longer tibia.
One knee is anterior = longer femur
Which ligament Limits extension, abduction, external rotation
Iliofemoral ligament
How do measure an apparent leg length discrepancy
Umbilicus to medial malleolus
Which motion of the hip is limited first in OA
Internal rotation
9 internal rotators of the hip
- TFL
- Adductor magnus, brevis, longus
- Gracilis
- Gluteus medius
- Gluteus minimus
- Semitendinosus
- Semimembranosus
Adductor magnus innervation and nerve root
Obturator nerve and tibial nerve, L2, 3, 4
Where do you measure to assess leg length
ASIS to medial malleolus
What is the prime hip flexor
Iliopsoas
7 external rotators of hip
- Piriformis
- Superior gemellus
- Inferior gemellus
- Obturator externus
- Obturator internus
- Gluteus Maximus
- Quadratus femoris
Biceps femoris innervation and nerve root
Short head = peroneal nerve L5, S1, S2
Long head = tibial nerve L5, S1, S2
Obturator externus innervation and nerve root
Obturator nerve L3, 4
