Lower Extremity Flashcards
1
Q
Quads
Tendon Work
A
- origins rectus femoris and sartorious (AIIS & ASIS respectively) through draping working medially to laterally to avoid inguinal area/lymph zones
- circular friction w/ palm, thumb or finger pads
- work around the knee with Bancroft sequence, sunburst, transverse friction
- friction medial and lateral epicondyles of femur and medial and lateral codnyles of tibia
- “susie’s window box”

Quads
Fascia Lines
A
work distal to proximal
7
Q
Hamstrings
Tendon
A
- Use fist or lifted plow for direct pressure on ischial tuberosity
- Use micromovements superior to inferior on medial ischial tuberosity
- Work medial to lateral on inferior and lateral ischial tuberosity
- Work just distal to ischial tube. to work hamstring tendon
- “susie’s window box” around popliteal region
- focus work through medial and lateral hamstring tendons
8
Q
Hamstrings
P+S
A
One hand flexes leg at knee while other simultaneously compresses muscle group on bellies
9
Q
Hamstrings
Broad
A
Work medial, center and lateral lines

11
Q
Hamstrings
Fascia
A
Focus on and in between adjacent muscle bellies
12
Q
Tibialis Anterior
Tendon
A
- Bancroft sequence to warm up foot
- Focus on medial cuneiform and base of 1st metatarsal
- Work along TA tendon onto dorsal foot and over ankle
- work origin just below lateral condyle of tibia
13
Q
Tibialis Anterior
P+S
A
One hand tractions at achilles tendon and dorsiflexes foot up toward head of table while other hand compresses TA on belly
14
Q
Tibialis Anterior
Broad
A
Facing head or feet with hand/fist
Facing perpendicular to work cross fiber just off and lateral to tibia (be mindful muscle belly only goes 1/2 way down the tibia)
