Q

What is flexed knee posture

A

LoG passes posterior to the knee jt which creates an external flexion moment at the knee which must be balanced by an internal extension moment created by the quads

Q

How does forward knee posture cause more fatigue of the quad

A

30 degrees of flexion requires 51% of MVC of the quads to maintain erect posture

16
Q

When the LOG is considerably anterior to the knee jt axis what do we see?

A

Hyperextended knee (genu recurvatum) because on the increased external extensor moment

17
Q

LOG at greater distance from lumbar joint axes resulting in increased extension moment
This creates an excessive __________
What does this do in the lumbar spine?

A

Anterior pelvic tilt

-   Forces lower lumbar vertebrae
anterior
• Upper lumbar vertebrae move
posterior to keep head over sacrum
• Increases lordotic curve
18
Q

Increased cervical lordosis > LOG is anterior to cervical joint axes resulting in flexion moment, causing what posture? This requires what compensation?

A

Forward head posture

Req constant isometric muscle tension

19
Q

During pes planus, there is increased calcaneal _________ causing a reduced or absent ______ arch

A

Eversion

Medial

20
Q

Pes cavus is characterized by a _______ arch. This is a more ________ foot position but is a poor _____________

A

High
Stable
Shock absorber

21
Q

In pes cavus, the wt bearing portion of the foot is…

A

More lateral

22
Q

Deviations to scapula position include

A

Protracted and slightly elevated

Depressed and abducted

Elevated and retracted

23
Q

Scoliosis is a

A

Lateral spine curvature

24
Q

Scoliosis curves are named according to…

A

Direction of convexity and location of the curve

25
Q

Scoliosis screenings are designed to identify

A

Unequal waist angles, unequal shoulder levels/scapulae, rib hump or obvious lateral curvature

26
Q

Excessive genu valgum is

A

“Knock knee”

Lateral compression and medial tension/distraction
Often results in pronation at the foot

27
Q

Genu varum is

A

“Bow leg”

Medial compression and lateral tension/distraction

28
Q

What may happen at the patella during genu varum

A

May be displaced medially
