Pelvic Girdle/ Hip Joint Flashcards
Sacral flexion is ________ and extension is _______
nutation, counternutation
Mobile area where a lot of disc/back problems occur
L5, S1
sacral flexion
(nutation) superior fwd and inferior back
Sacral extension
(counternutation) superior back and inferior forward
Sacral torsion
Top corner going forward and opposite bottom corner going back
Obturator foramen created by
ischium and pubis
Greater sciatic notch created by these two bones
ilium and ischium
Greater sciatic foramen created by
sacrotuberus ligament
sacrospinous ligament
increased and decreased lumbosacrial joint angle produces:
increased angle=increased lordosis
decreased angle=decreased lordosis (or decreased lordodic curve)
anterior pelvic tilt creates this in spine
increased kyphodic curve, increased lordosis
posterior pelvic tilt
decreased lordosis
Lateral pelvic tilt is when:
pelvis is lower on one side - it is considered a pelvic tilt to that side
Force Couples for posterior pelvic tilt
Abs and glutes
Force couple for anterior pelvic tilt
Hip flexors and back extensor a
Also known as “Y” ligament and serves this function
iliofemoral ligament; limits extension
This hip femoral ligament limits extension and abduction
Pubofemoral ligament
The ischiofemoral ligament is a _______ ligament and limits ______ and _______
Posterior ligament
Limits extension and Internal rotation
These 3 ligaments are slack in flexion and taught in extension because they run in this pattern:
iliofemoral ligament
pubofemoral ligament
ischiofemoral ligament
spiral pattern
ligamentum teres is found where and contains what
head of femur and contains artery to head of femur
This ligament serves as a landmark and connects:
inguinal ligament ASIS to pubric tubercle
Tendinous portion of TFL
lateral thigh from anterior iliac crest to tibia
hip pops if tight due to ligament rubbing over inflamed bursa over greater trochanter tendon may “clunk” over it
O & I for iliopsoas
O - iliac fossa, anterior and lateral surfaces of T12-L5
I - Lesser trochanter
