Movements Flashcards
flexor muscles of the hip joint
- psoas major
- lliacus
- sartorius
- rectus femoris
- tensor fascia latae
- pectineus
- adductor longus
- gracilis
- Anterior fibers of glutei medius and minimus
produce flexion, abduction, and medial rotation
tensor fascia latae
Anterior fibers of glutei medius and minimus
produce flexion, adduction, and lateral rotation
Psoas major
Iliacus
Pectineus
Adductor longus
Extension: Posterior Deep
Gluteus maximus
Posterior fibers of gluteus medius
Posterior fibers of gluteus minimus
second group of extensor muscles
Biceps femoris
Semitendinosus
Semimembranosus
Adductor magnus
Abductor Muscles of the Hip
Anterior fibres of gluteus medius
Gluteus minimus
Tensor fascia lata
Gluteus maximus (upper fibers)
Piriformis
Lateral rotators of hip
Piriformis
Obturator internus
Obturator externus
Quadratus femoris
Gluteus maximus
Gluteus medius (Posterior fibers)
Gemelli (Not Shown)
medial rotators of hip
Tensor fascia lata
Gluteus minimus (Anterior fibers)
Gluteus medius (Anterior fibers)
three articulating surfaces of knee:
Medial tibio-femoral
Lateral tibio-femoral
Patello-femoral
All of which are enclosed by a common joint capsule.
Patellofemoral = Patella on femur
Joint Type
Planar
Tibiofemoral = distal femur on condyles of tibia
Joint type
modified hinge
oblique popliteal
It reinforces the joint capsule posteriorly
arcuate popliteal ligament
also strengthens the joint capsule postero-laterally.
Collateral ligaments
strengthen the articular capsule on its medial and lateral aspects.
- responsible for the transverse stability of the knee during extension
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
weaker of the two
