PMNR Flashcards
What type of joint is the hip?
A. Ball and socket
B. Hinged
C. Pivot
D. Gliding
A. Ball and socket joints have full ROM (ex. hip, shoulders)
Hinged joints only allow a small range of motion (ex. humerus c ulna and radius). Pivot joints allow a wide ROM but not as much as ball and socket joints. Gliding allows sliding motion between 2 bones.

Which muscle is an external rotator of the hip?
A. TFL
B. GMax
C. GMed
D. Gracilis
B. GMax is an ER. The rest are IRs.
What is the function of the iliofemoral ligament?
A. ExAbER

All of the ff are true about piriformis syndrome EXCEPT:
A. Sciatic n. may be involved bc in some individuals the n. runs through the piriformis ms fibers
B. Pain may be in lateral buttock, post. hip and thigh, sciatica-like pain
C. Pain c FAbER

C. Pain c FAdIR
FAdIR has piriformis syndrome; also motions used during Piriformis test
All of the ff. are true about iliopsoas bursitis and tendinitis syndrome EXCEPT:
A. Condition may cause snapping hip syndrome c flexion
B. Pain c hip extension
C. Pain is usually noted deep in the groin and radiates to the front of the hip
D. Refers to a stretch or tear or complete rupture of your iliopsoas ms and tendon where the tendon attaches to the femur
B. Pain c hip flexion
Injury usually caused by eccentric contrxn of iliopsoas ms or rapid flexion against ext force

B. FAdIR
C. ExAbER
D. FAdER
B. FAdIR
Affected leg is shorter because d/l femoral head is higher on N side
Pt. will be unable to abduct affected side
