semimembranosus
bicep femoris

32
Q

what is the against gravity position for knee flexion?

A

prone with legs straight and toes hanging over the edge of the table. Place the limb in about 45 degrees of knee flexion and provide resistance just above the ankle

33
Q

what is the medial hamstring test?

A

the patient is in prone and toes point toward the midline.
testing for semitendinosus and semimembranosus

34
Q

what is the lateral hamstring test?

A

the patient is in prone and the toes point outward.
testing for bicep femoris

35
Q

what is the gravity minimized position for grade 2 knee flexion?

A

sidelying

36
Q

what is the palpation for knee flexion

A

the medial and lateral hamstring tendons just above the posterior knee

37
Q

what are the primary movers of knee extension?

A

rectus femoris and vastus muscles (intermedius, medialis, lateralis)

38
Q

what is the grade 3-5 position for knee extension?

A

short sitting with resistance placed downward just above the ankle

39
Q

what is the position for a grade 2 in knee extension?

A

sidelying

40
Q

what is the palpation for knee extension?

A

the quad tendon just above the knee with the tendon held gently between the thumb and fingers
can also palpate the patellar tendon just below the knee

41
Q

what are the primary movers of plantarflexion?

A

gastroc and soleus

42
Q

what is the position for grade 3-5 for plantarflexion?

A

standing

43
Q

A

5

44
Q

what is a grade 4 in plantarflexion?

A

2-24 heel raises

45
Q

what is the position for a grade 2 in plantarflexion?

A

prone with feet off the end of the table.

46
Q

what is the palpation of plantar flexion?

A

the achilles tendon or the muscle bellies of the gastroc and soleus at mid-calf

47
Q

what is the primary mover of foot dorsiflexion and inversion?

A

tibialis anterior

48
Q

what is the testing position for foot dorsiflexion and inversion?

A

all grades are tested in supine.
the pt places the hand providing resistance on the medial aspect of the foot over the first ray. Resistance goes down and out.

49
Q

where do you palpate during foot dorsiflexion and inversion?

A

the tendon of the TA is on the anteromedial aspect of the ankle at the level of the malleolus

50
Q

what is the primary mover of foot inversion?

A

tibialis posterior

51
Q

what is the position for testing foot inversion?

A

sitting
the pt places the stabilizing hand on the posterior calf just above the malleoli.
the hand providing resistance is placed on the foot with the hand over the medial side of the forefoot

52
Q

what is the palpation for foot inversion?

A

the tendon of tibialis posterior is between the medial malleolus and navicular bone.
