m7: pelvis and hip Flashcards
(Posterior) Right and left pelvic bones ↔ sacrum and fifth lumbar
(Anterior) Left and right hemipelvis ↔ pubis symphysis
Pelvic Girdle
Femoral head ↔ Acetabulum
Very stable structurally + Very mobile
Hip abductor muscles on the weight-bearing leg must create a force to counterbalance about _% of body’s weight during each step taken.
Hip joint
85%
Latin word, “bowl”/ “basin”
A bridge between the lower extremities and the entire head, arm, and trunk complex (HAT).
Pelvis
Providing a stable base for HAT
Containing and supporting the visceral contents
Transmitting and absorbing forces to and from both HAT superiorly and the lower extremities inferiorly.
Functions of the Pelvis
Major role in elevating and lowering the body:
Climbing
Rising from a chair
Lifting the limb, as when the foot is elevated to tie a shoelace.
Hip muscles may function by:
moving the femur on the pelvis (e.g., flexing the hip to step up onto a step)
by moving the pelvis over the femur (e.g.,leaning over to pick up an object from the floor).
Supporting and transferring the weight of the HAT to the femurs in standing or to the ischial tuberosities in sitting.
Rotating during walking to create a rhythmic pelvic swing so a smooth translation of both the trunk and the lower extremities occurs.
Providing a broad area for muscular attachment.
