MMT Hip, knee, and ankle Flashcards

1
Q

Hip flexion

prime movers

A

iliopsoas, sartorius, tensor fascia latae, and rectus femoris

against gravity: client sitting with knee flexed and over the edge of surface with foot unsupported, Maybe have them have their hands in a prayer position so they don’t try to stabilize

gravity eliminated: client lying on non-test side, client holds nontest extremity in maximal hip and knee flexion

Q

Hip extension

prime movers

A

gluteus maximus and semimembranosus, and semitendinosus when knee is flexed

against gravity: client prone with both legs extended and resting on testing surface, client is asked to hold onto edge of testing surface as resistance is applied; client moves testing extremity in the direction of hip extension while knee remains extended

Gravity eliminated: client is lying on nontest side, client hold the nontest extremity in max hip and knee flexion, testing hip is in neutral and knee is flexed (don’t let them try to stabilize with their arms or hands)

prime movers

A

sartorius, gluetus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fascia latae

against gravity: client is lying on nontest side, client holds nontest extremity in max hip and knee flexion, testing extremity is in slight hip extension, neutral rotation, and knee extension

gravity eliminated: client supine with hip and knees extended resting on testing surface

Q

Hip adduction

prime movers

A

pectineus, adductor magnus, gracilis, adductor longus, and adductor brevis

against gravity: client is lying on his/her side on testing extremity, with hip in neutral and knee extended on testing surface, nontest extremity is in abduction and knee is extended, client moves testing extremity in the direction of hip adduction toward the nontest extremity

gravity eliminated: client supine with hip in neutral and abduction, and knee extended on testing surface

against gravity: client sitting with testing hip in 90 degrees of flexion, knees flexed at edge of testing surface, midpoint of patella is aligned with the ASIS

gravity eliminated: client supine with testing hip in internal rotation and knee extension
