Midterm Flashcards
Screw home in closed chain position
If tibia is fixed:
Femur rotates medially
What is a screw-home mechanism
- non weight bearing: open chain
- knee joint “screws home” to fully extend due to the shape of medial femoral condyle
Screw home in open chain position
If the femur is fixed:
Tibia rotates laterally via the action of the popliteus
Hind foot is made up of
Talus
Calcaneus
Function of the patella
- increases the mechanical advantage of the quads
- protects the knee joint
Mid foot is made up of
Navicular
Cuboid
Cuneiforms
Forefoot is made up of
5 metatarsals
All phalanges
Supination
Plantar flexion
Inversion
Adduction
Pronation
Dorsiflexion
Eversion
Abduction
Pes cavus
Abnormally high arch
Pes planus
Flat foot
Lumbopelvic rhythm
Flexion of the trunk from standing combines flexion of the lumbar vertebrae and the LS junction with forward rotation of the pelvis and fixed femur
Lumbopelivc rhythm relationship with sacrum
In extreme flexion the lumbar spine continues to flatten in the pelvis rotates around the femoral heads of the sacrum counter nutates
Effects of tight hip flexor muscle/quad muscle on pelvis
LBP
Tightness
Weakness in hip extensors
Glute max/medius
Acl tears
Non contact-rotary forces with planting/cutting/hyperextension
Contact-blow to the knee
