Question 1

degree of hip flexion/extension

Answer 1

120-130 -flex

0-20-ext

Question 2

degree of hip abduction/adducion

Answer 2

add: 20-25
ab: 40-45

Question 3

hip internal/external rotation
infant
1 yr
4yr/adult

Answer 3

infant:60-90 deg ext, 0-30 deg internal

1 yr: 50-60 ext, 30 int rotation

4yr 45 ext rotation, 45 int

Question 4

normal knee extension?

how do we evaluate hamstring with medial isolation? what happens if its lower than normal value?

lateral isolation?

Answer 4

normal:160

externally rotate leg med isolation: if lower than 160–tight medial hamstring

lateral isolation: lower than 160-tight lateral hamstring

Question 5

external rotators of the hip

what becomes taut with hip extension?

Answer 5

gemelli-superior and inferior 
obturator internus and externus 
adductors 
gluteus maximus
sartorius 
quadriceps femoris 
piriformis 

iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ligamentum teres

Question 6

internal rotators of hip

Answer 6

gluteus minimus/gluteus medus

Question 7

knee extension/flexion angle

Answer 7

extension: 0-15 (hyper-extension)
flexion: 135

Question 8

knees separated more than 2 inches in relationship to ankles

Answer 8

genu varum

Question 9

ankles separated by more than 2 inches in relationship to medial knees

Answer 9

genu valgum

Question 10

knees hyperextended in standing position

Answer 10

genu recurvatum

Question 11

dorsiflexion of ankle where foot with knee flexed vs extended

Answer 11

normal is 10 or more.

dorsiflexion with knee flexed normally greater than knee extended

Question 12

normal plantarflexion angle

Answer 12

50 deg

Question 13

normal malleolar external rotation

Answer 13

18-23 degrees

Question 14

normal tibial stance position

Answer 14

0-7 degrees varus

Question 15

normal STJ ROM

normal inversion vs eversion

Answer 15

approx 30 deg

inversion: 20 deg
eversion: 10 deg

Question 16

normal 1st ray ROM for plantarflexion and dorsiflexion

Answer 16

5 mm

Question 17

normal dorsiflexion/plantarflexion of 1st mpj

Answer 17

dorsiflexion: 60-65 deg
plantarflexion: 5-10 deg

Question 18

normal malleolar position

Answer 18

fibula should be externally rotated 18-23 degrees in relation to tibia

Question 19

STJ neutral degree position

Answer 19

0-3 deg varus

Question 20

if STJ transverse axis is deviated medially vs laterally will have what type of foot?

Answer 20

medial: pronated
lateral: supinated

Question 21

normal Resting calcaneal stance position

Answer 21

2 deg valgus, to 2 deg varus

Question 22

how do you find neutral calcaneal stance position

Answer 22

tibial influence + STJ neutral

Question 23

how do you measure midtarsal joint

Answer 23

pt prone, stj neutral.
MTJ maximally pronated

measure the angle formed by the plantar metatarsal heads with the plantar surface of the heel–>determine varus or valgus

Question 24

what is the normal 1st ray range of motion?

Answer 24

dorsiflexion and plantarflexion 5mm

Question 25

normal dorsiflexion/plantarflexion of 1st MPJ

Answer 25

dorsiflexion: 60-65 deg

plantarflexion 5-10
