Pelvic and Hip Flashcards
What bones make up the Pelvis?
Sacrum, Coccyx, Left and Right Os Coxae
What bones make up the pelvic girdle
Left and Right Os Coxae only
What are the functions of the pelvis and hip joint?
Weight bearing and locomotion
How does the pelvis provide weight bearing?
Center of gravity is anterior to S2 vertebra, Posterior to hip joint and anterior to knee and ankle joints.
How does the pelvis facilitate standing?
Locks joints when standing, reducing muscle energy needed to remain standing
What type of movements occur at the hip joint?
Flexion/Extension, Abduction/Adduction, Medial/Lateral Rotation and Circumduction
What type of movements occur at the knee joint?
Flexion/Extension
What type of movements occur at the ankle joint?
Doriflexion, Plantarflexion
What are the features of locomotion?
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)
What is the degree between ASIS and PSIS?
4-15 degrees
What 3 bones form the os coxae?
ilium, ischium, pubis
Which part of the ilium articulates with sacrum to form sacroiliac joint?
Auricular surface
What structures pass through the obturator foramen?
Obturator Vein, artery, nerve
What type of joint is the pubic symphysis?
amphiarthrotic fibrocartilage joint
What type of joint is the sacroiliac joint?
Synovial plane joint
What ligaments are present at the sacroiliac joint?
Anterior and posterior sacroiliac ligaments and interosseous sacroiliac ligament
What are the ligaments at the pelvic wall?
Sacrospinous and Sacrotuberous ligament
What are the structures attached to the sacrospinous ligament?
Ischial Spine (Apex), Sacrum and Coccyx (base)
What are the structures attached to the sacrotuberous ligament?
Medial margin of ischial tuberosity (Apex), PSIS and posterolateral surface of coccyx (Base)
