Musculoskeletal Flashcards
What are the 5 requirements of full shoulder elevation?
- scapular stabilization
- inferior glide of the humerus
- ER of humerus
- rotation of the clavicle at SC joint
- scapular abduction and lateral rotation of AC joint
- straightening of thoracic kyphosis
What arteries supply the elbow joint?
brachial artery, anterior ulnar recurrent artery, posterior ulnar recurrent artery, radial recurrent artery, and middle collateral branch of the deep brachial artery
What is the biomechanics of the elbow joint during flexion/extension?
During flexion, the ulnar externally rotates (supinates) and internally rotates (pronates) during extension.
Middle pillar of carpals
lunate and triquetrum with capitate and hamate
Lateral pillar of carpals
scaphoid with trapezium and trapezoid
What arteries supply the wrist/hand?
ulnar and radial arteries merge to form the palmar arch which sends digital branches up the medial/lateral aspect of each digit
Iliofemoral ligament
- Comprised of two bands running from AIIS
- The medial band runs to the distal intertrochanteric line
- The lateral band runs to the proximal aspect of the intertrochanteric line
- Both are taut with extension and ER. The superior band is taut with adduction, while the inferior band is taut with abduction
Pubofemoral ligament
- Runs from the iliopectineal eminence, superior rami of the pubis, obturator crest, and obturator membrane, laterally blending with the capsule; inserts into the same point as the medial iliofemoral ligament
- Taut with extension, ER, and abduction
Ischiofemoral ligament
- Runs from the ischium and posterior acetabulum, superiorly, and laterally, blending with the zona articularis, and attaching to the greater trochanter
- Taut with medial rotation, abduction, and extension
What arteries supply the hip joint?
- medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries supply the proximal femur
- the femoral head is supplied by a small branch of the obturator artery
- the acetabulum is supplied by branches from the superior and inferior gluteal arteries
Medical Collateral Ligament (knee)
- runs anteriorly and inferiorly
- taut in extension and slackened in flexion
- prevents valgus forces and ER of the tibia
Lateral Collateral Ligament (knee)
- runs inferiorly and posteriorly
- taut in extension and slackened in flexion
- prevents varus forces and ER of the tibia
Oblique popliteal ligament
- inserts into expansion from the tendon of the semimembranosus; partially blending with capsule
- forms the floor of the popliteal fossa and strengthens the posteriomedial capsule
Arcuate popliteal ligament
- stem attaches to fibular head. Medial band attaches to posterior border of intercondylar area of tibia; lateral band extends to lateral epicondyle of femur.
- Strengthens the posterolateral capsule
What arteries supply the knee joint?
descending branch from lateral circumflex femoral branch of the deep femoral artery, genicular branches of popliteal artery, and recurrent branches of anterior tibial artery
Biomechanics of the proximal tibiofibular joint during dorsiflexion/plantarflexion
- During DF, the fibular head glides superiorly and posteriorly while the fibular shaft glides externally
- During PF, the fibular head glides anteriorly and inferiorly while the fibular shaft glides internally
What arteries supply the ankle joint?
malleolar rami of anterior tibial and fibular arteries; articular innervation comes from the deep fibular and tibial nerves
Rule of 3
- s.p. of T1-T3 are at the same level of the vertebral body;
- s.p. of T4-T6 are one-half level below the vertebral body;
- s.p of T7-T10 are one level below the vertebral body;
- s.p of T11 is one-half level below the vertebral body;
- s.p. of T12 is at the same level as the vertebral body
