practical 2 Flashcards
semimembranosus TP location
distal third of muscle on posterior/medial thigh
S/CS set up for biceps femoris
prone, flex knee, externally rotate tibia, bring lower leg lateral
S/CS set up for popliteus
prone, flex knee 60-65, internally rotate tibia, plantar flex & invert foot
soleus TP location
posterior midline of tibia on lower third of muscle
gastrocnemius TP location
inferior to popliteal space on medial head of muscle
ATFL TP location
in a depression 3 cm anterior and caudad to the lateral malleolus
what is a positive test for the straight leg raise?
reproduction of radicular sx i sciatic nerve distribution (b/w 30-70 degrees)
what does a positive straight leg raise test indicate?
nerve root irritation of sciatic nerve
hip flexion normal end feel, ROM
soft, 140 degrees
what does a positive thomas sign indicate?
a flexion contracture
normal end feel for internal rotation and external rotation of hip
elastic
positive faber’s test indicates what
sacroiliac dysfxn (if pain to posterior pelvis) OR hip dysfxn (if pain in anterior or lateral pelvis)
capsular pattern of the hip results in gross limitation of
internal rotation, abduction, flexion
resisted ROM muscles: hip flexion
rectus femoris, iliacus, psoas
resisted ROM muscles: hip extension
hamstrings, gluteus maximus
resisted ROM muscles: abduction
gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, TFL
resisted ROM muscles: adduction
gracilis, adductors, pectineus
normal end feel for hip extension, ROM
elastic, 30 degrees
how to do passive ROM for hip extension
prone, 1 hand over butt, grasp leg just above patella, bring into extension
what does passive knee flexion assess?
rectus femoris tightness, irritation of femoral nerve
