MSK Fundamentals Flashcards
Coxa vara
femoral neck shaft angled inward
Coxa valga
femoral neck shaft angled outward
Antetorsion
femoral neck rotated forward
Retroversion
femoral neck rotated posterior or backward
Genu varum
“bowlegged”
Genu valgum
“knock kneed”
Equinus
toes in a down position, DF limited
Calcaneous
heel down position, PF limited
Talipes equinovarus
ankle and foot are down and in
“Clubfoot”
Pes cavus
high arched or supinated foot
Pes planus
low arched, pronated
“flat foot”
Valgus heel
rearfoot is deviated toward the outside resulting in pronated heel
Hallux valgus
1st metatarsal abduction deformity
“bunion”
What are the 3 movement of arthrokinematics?
- Roll - ex. mvm’t btw femoral and tibial articular surfaces
- Slide - ex. when braked wheels skid on pavement or mvm’t of prox phalanx at head of metacarpal
- Spin - ex. mvm’t btw radial head and humerus
What are the muscle fiber types and their fxn?
Type 1
Slow twitch, red oxidative for endurance
Resistance to fatigue, contract slowly
Type 2
Fast twitch, white glycolytic, anaerobic
Not as vascualr as type 1, but more powerful
Fibers are larger diameter for acitivities that required speed, strength and power
