Musculoskeletal Notecards Flashcards
To maintain posterior pelvic tilt, strengthen:
Rectus abdominis and external obliques
Lower extremity compensation for bowlegs
IR of femur, pronation of feet, hyperextended knees
Lower extremity compensation for knock knees
ER of femur, supination of feet, hyperextended knees
Observations in right handed individuals
Trunk deviation to left, low right shoulder, high right hip
Coracoclavicular ligaments
Trapezoid and conoid: limit clavicular elevation and assist with rotating clavicle during humeral elevation
Anterior bundle of MCL of elbow
Limit valgus from 20-120 elbow flexion
Posterior bundle of MCL of elbow
Limits elbow extension and valgus at end range
Valgus/varus laxity greatest between:
0-40 degrees elbow flexion
Dorsal radioulnar ligament
Taut in pronation
Palmar radioulnar ligament
Taut in supination
Ankle ligament injured with PF, IR, inv
Anterior talofibular
Ankle ligament injured with DF and ER
Posterior talofibular
Ankle ligament injured with DF and inv
Calcaneofibular
Muscles that increase strain on ACL
gastroc and quad
Muscles that decrease strain on ACL
