Test 4- Hip Joint & Pelvic Girdle Flashcards
The hip joints are relatively stable due to:
- Bony architecture
- Strong ligaments
- Large supportive muscles
What is another name for the hip joint?
Acetabular femoral
What does the hip joint allow you to do?
- Functions in weight bearing & locomotion
• Ability to run, cross-over cut, side-step cut, jump, & many other directional changes
Bones in the hip joint:
Femur
Pelvic girdle
Sacrum
Longest bone in body
Femur
What does the pelvic girdle consist of?
Ilium
Ischium
Pubis
What joins right & left together posteriorly?
Sacrum
- Extension of spinal column with 5 fused vertebrae
* Extending inferiorly is the coccyx
Sacrum
Hole in femur head is to:
Provide blood supply
What type of joint is your hip joint?
Diarthrodial (synovial) ball & socket
What movements can your hip joint perform?
• Flexion & extension • Abduction & adduction • Internal & external rotation • Horizontal abduction / horizontal adduction Circumduction
Stabilizing structure ligaments in the hip joint:
Iliofermoral
Pubofemoral
Ischiofemoral
Joints:
• Two pelvic bones join to form symphysis pubis, amphiarthrodial
Anteriorly
Joints:
• Sacrum is between the 2 pelvic bones & forms the sacroiliac joints
• Strong ligaments unite these bones to form rigid, slightly movable joints
Posteriorly
- Strong ligaments
* Small backward-forward movement
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint
Hip flexion: how many degrees?
• Movement of the anterior femur toward the anterior pelvis –>0-130°
Hip extension: how many degrees?
• Movement of the posterior femur toward the posterior pelvis—>0-30°
Hip abduction and adduction: how many degrees?
0-35
0-30
Hip internal rotation & hip external rotation: how many degrees
0-45
0-50
Muscles involved in hip & pelvic girdle motions depend largely on direction of movement and ________________ in relation to earth & _____________
position of body
gravitational forces
Origin of the psoas major:
Bodies and transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae
Insertion of the psoas major:
Lesser trochanter
Action of the psoas major:
• Origin Fixed - Flex the hip -May laterally rotate the hip • Insertion Fixed - Flex the trunk - Tilt the pelvis • Unilaterally - Assist to laterally flex the lumbar spine
Creates tension
Rotator cuff of the hip
Stabilizes lumbar vertebrae
Is like your core
Psoas major
Origin of the psoas minor:
Body and transverse process of first lumbar vertebra
Insertion of psoas minor:
Superior ramus of pubis
Action of psoas minor:
- Assist to create lordotic curvature in lumbar spine
* Tilt pelvis posteriorly
Abset in 60% of people
Psoas minor
Origin of the iliacus:
Iliac fossa
Insertion of the iliacus:
Lesser trochanter
Action of the iliacus:
• Origin fixed - Flex the hip - Laterally rotate the hip • Insertion Fixed - Flex the trunk - Tilt pelvis anteriorly
Origin of Sartorius:
Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
Insertion of the Sartorius:
Proximal, medial shaft of the tibia at pes anserinus tendon
Action of the Sartorius:
- Flex the hip
- Laterally rotate the hip
- Abduct the hip
- Flex the knee
- Medially rotate the flexed knee
Psoas major importance:
stability
posture
kinetic chain issues
Origin of the rectus femoris:
Anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS)
Insertion of the rectus femoris:
Tibial tuberosity (via the patella and patellar ligament)
Action of the rectus femoris:
- Flex the hip
* Extend the knee
