Q

what ligaments resist counternutation

A

sacroiliac ligamnets

44
Q

describe Forward torsion of the sacrum on the iliac bones

A

around the oblique axis
Ex: when the R base of sacrum points forward (rotating to the L) –> L torsion around the L oblique axis = L on L

also can look at L inferior angle –> when it is directed upwards –> L on L

45
Q

describe backward torsion of the sacrum on the iliac bones

A

around the oblique axis
Ex: R base of sacrum moves backwards –> R torsion around the L oblique axis = R on L

46
Q

what happens to the articular surface of the ilium during anterior rotation

A

glides inferior and posterior relative to sacrum

47
Q

what happens to the articular surface of the ilium during posterior rotation

A

glides anterior superior in relation to sacrum

48
Q

flexion at the hip will produce what innominate motion

A

posterior rotation (coupled with ER)

49
Q

extension at the hip will produce what innominate motion?

A

anterior rotation (coupled with IR)

50
Q

flexion of the lumbar spine will produce what sacral motion and what innominate motion

A

sacral - nutation THEN counternutation
innominate - anterior rotation

51
Q

extension of the Lumbar spine will produce what sacral motion and what innominate motion

A

sacral - nutation
innominate - posterior rotation (slight)

52
Q

during heel strike of R LE, what position is the R innominate in and what position is the L innominate in?
