Test Review Flashcards
Athletes who have excessively pronated or hypermobile feet have a higher incidence of these types of sprains.
Everted Ankle Sprains
If an athlete experiences a “locked” knee immediately after injury and there is a crunch sound
meniscus tear
A painful condition
ostechonridtis dissecans
aka Joint mice
The anterior cruciate ligament is most vulnerable to injury during this mechanism.
Valgus force is at the knee, and the tibia is externally rotated.
Is Lchaman’s test used to assess this structure?
ACL
aka
Anterior cruciate ligament
An inadequately cared for shin contusion may develop into:
Osteomyelitis
(inflammation of the bone)
or (
A catch-all term applied to a variety of overuse conditions of the anterior lower that plagues many athletes
Medial tibial stress syndrome
shin-splints
A gradual degenerative process of the underside of the patella (of the cartilage)
chondromalcia pattela
If a forceful dorsiflexion stresses the syndesmotic joint of the lower leg, the ligament is permanently injured.
Anteriror tibifbular Ligamnet
A condition that occurs when the tissue fluid pressure has increased because of the restriction of the fascia and results in compression of the muscles, nerves, and/or blood vessels.
Note: This could be considered a medical emergency!
Anterior compartment Syndrome
(Fluid puts too much pressure on nerves)
The condition is referred to as knocked knees.
genu valgum
A positive talar tilt test, with the calcaneus inverted, indicates damage to this ligament.
Clacaneofibular ligament
Damage to. This structure will most likely lead to peroneal tendon subluxation.
Superior [ernoeal retnaciulm
(Keeps ligaments and tendons together)
A positive anterior drawer test of the ankle primarily indicates damage to this ligament.
Anteriror Talofibular ligament
(ACL)
A common injury in the lower leg of athletes or joggers who frequently run downhill.
Anterior Tibialis
