MT Flashcards
importance of pelvis
middle center of mass
locomotion
stability of masses above/below
base of vertebral column
function of pelvis w/ GI/GU
acts as a bowl supporting most of the systems
pelvis lymphatic/vascular importance
contains all vascular/lymphatic contents for below structures
important areas of pelvis for LE circulation
pelvic diaphragm and inguinal area
pelvis main functions
- biomechanical function/balance
- reproduction
- elimination
- vascular/lymphatics for the region and LE
basic anatomy of the innominate
composed of the ilium, pubis, and ischium
acetabulum structure
composed of 3 different ossifaciton centers (3 areas of innominate)
true vs accessory ligaments
true - bone to bone
accessory - attach at another ligament, tendon, or fascia
ligament functions
- limit movement
- permit motion
- elastic quality
- limit movement as part of reflex response
anterior pelvic ligaments
sacrospinous - sacrum to ischial spine
iliolumbar - from ilia to L5
anterior sacroiliac - covers sacroiliac joint
inguinal L - ASIS to superior pubic rami
posterior pelvic ligaments
sacrotuberous - sacrum to ischial tuberosity
posterior ascroiliac - covers sacroiliac joint
attachment of Gmax/biceps femoris
sacrotuberous L
attachement of coccygeus M
sacrospinous L
iliolumbar L function
stabilization of L5, prevents excessive anterior/rotary motion
origin of IOM and TAM
inguinal L
L preventing anterior displacement of sacrum
anterior sacroiliac L (thicker than PSL for this reason)
L filling irregular space posteriosuperior to sacroiliac joint
interosseous sacroiliac L
attachment points of PSL
3rd/4th sacral segments to PSIS and posteiror iliac crest
attachment points of ASL
3rd sacral segment to lateral pre-auricular sulcus
attachment points of inguinal L
pubic tubercle to ASIS
attachment points of sacrospinous L
ischial spine to lateral sacrum/sacrotuberous L
attachment points of sacrotuberous L
lower sacral tubercles to ischial tuberosity
Ls associated w/ pubic symphysis
superior pubic L (above) and inferior pubic L (below)
innominate w/ heel strike
right heel strike = right innominate rotates posterior due to iliopsoas contraction
innominate w/ toe off
right toe off = right innominate rotates anterior w/ iliopsoas relaxation and gmax/hamstring contraction
major/minor hip flexors
major = iliacus, psoas
minor = rectus femoris, sartorius
hip extensors
Gmax, hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendonosis, semimembranosis)
hamstring tension effect on innominate
posterior rotation
rectus femoris, iliacus, or adductor tension effect on innominate
anterior rotation
major/minor hip adductors
major = ad magnus/brevis/longus
minor = gracilis, pectineus
hip abductors
Gmed, Gmin, TFL
trendelenburg sign
drop of pelvis when lifting leg opposite to a weak Gmed
+ sign = abductor strenght not adequate
causes of trendelenburg gait
weak abductor (Gmed/Gmin) or superior gluteal N (L5) issues
hip external rotators
piriformis, obturator externus/internus, superior/inferior gemilli, quadratus femoris
only hip rotator connected to sacrum
piriformis
quadratus lumborum effect on Ns
may product Sx of groin pull/hernia by irritating the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric Ns as they pass anterior to it (L1)
greater and lesser sciatic formaen are created by
sacrospinous L
gravitational line
- auditory meatus
- acromion process
- greater trochanter
- L3 body
- anterior 1/3 of sacrum
- lateral condyle of knee
- lateral malleolus
innominate shear
superior/inferior motion of one innominate
innominate flare
flares out/in as measured by distance of ASIS to midline on both sides
lateralization tests
used to determine which side SD is on
standing flexion test and ASIS compression test
rib articulations w/ spine
articulates w/ superior costal facet of its own vertebra
articulates w/ inferior costal facet of above vertebra
