Q

What are the features of locomotion?

A

Pelvic rotation in transverse plane (anterior rotation on NWB limb lengthens the limb),

Hip adduction (knees move towards midline to keep Center of gravity more medial),

Knee Flexion (keeps body from moving anteriorly),

Pelvic tilt in coronal plane (Abduction on WB side drops and keeps center of gravity low)

44
Q

Describe the Joint reaction force in the femur

A

In a single leg stance, the effective centre of gravity moves distally and away from the supporting leg since the nonsupporting leg is now calculated as part of the body mass acting upon the weight-bearing hip

This downward force exerts a turning motion around the centre of the femoral head – the moment is created by the body weight, and its moment arm a (distance from femur to the centre of gravity)

45
Q

What is nutation

A

The anterior tilt of the sacrum relative to the ilium

46
Q

What is counternutation

A

Posterior tilt of sacrum relative to the ilium

47
Q

What is a functional consequence of nutation?

A

Increases compression and shear forces between joint surfaces, increasing articular stability

Locks the joint by increasing the friction between the articular surface

Tenses the ligaments present at the joint and further compresses the surfaces of the joint, increasing transarticular stability

48
Q

What muscle actions produce nutation torque?

A

Erector Spinae muscles rotate sacrum anteriorly

Rectus abdominis and biceps femoris rotate the ilium posteriorly

49
Q

What muscles reinforce and stabilises the sacroiliac joint?

A
Erector Spinae
Lumbar multifidi
Abdominal muscles- Rectus abdominis, Obliquus abdominis, Transversus abdominis
Hip extensors
Latissimus Dorsi
Iliacus
Piriformis
