Physiology Lab stuff Flashcards
What would be some benefits and goals of passive range of motion?
- Determine progress
- Maintain joint fluid
- Maintain range of motion in a joint
What is the most common direction that the patella will luxate?
- Medially
To check for a luxating patella, what is the best position to have the leg in?
- Extend the stifle
What structures make up the composition of the calcanean tendon?
- Gracilis, biceps femoris, semitendinosus, superficial digital flexor, gastrocnemius
With a calcanean tendon injury, what is the significance of a completely plantigrade stance vs plantigrade stance with digits flexed?
- If there is a plantigrade stance with digits flexed, then the superficial digital flexor is still intact, but the remaining muscles are intact
What muscles lie adjacent to the iliopsoas muscle inertion?
- Pectineus (medial)
- Adductor and gracilis
- Iliopsoas pain if often secondary to something else
