Quiz 3 Flashcards
What are the upper leg bones
femur and patella
what are some bony landmarks in the upper leg bones
head and neck of the femur
What are the knee joint articulation points
between the tibia and the femur
What are the ligaments of the Knee
medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and popliteal ligaments
Closed packed position of the joint
have more restricted movement potential
open packed position of the joint
have more freedom of movement possible
Sagittal actions at the knee joint
flexion and extension
Frontal actions at the knee joint
no actions possible
Transverse actions at the knee joint
no actions possible when the knee is extended, inward and outward rotation when the knee is flexed
Sagittal positions at the knee joint
flexion, extension, and hyperextension
frontal positions of the knee joint
neutral
transverse positions of the knee joint
neutral when the knee is extended
inward rotation, outward rotation and neutral when the knee is flexd
When is alignment more important
any time we have weight bearing
What are the bones of the pelvis comprised of
pelvic bones and the sacrum
What are the pelvic bones
ilium, ischium, and pubis
what are the bony landmarks of the pelvis
acetabulum, ischial tuberosity, iliac crest, and iliac fossa
What are the articulation points of the hip joint
the head of the femur with the acetabulum of the pelvis
Ligaments of the hip
iliofemoral (Y-ligament), pubofemoral, ischiofemoral, and teres ligament
Sagittal actions at the hip
flexion and extension
frontal actions at the hip joint
abduction and adduction
how is frontal action/ position of the hip joint measured
where the knee is in relation with the hip
transverse actions at the hip joint
inward and outward rotation
Sagittal positions at the hip joint
extension and flexion
frontal positions at the hip joint
neutral, abduction and adduction
transverse positions of the hip joint
neutral, inward and outward rotation
