The hip Flashcards
what is the function of the hip
- stability and strength
- efficient weight bearing in resisting stance
- single leg stance
- high forces during movement
- mobility
- range of movement for walking/running/jumping/climbing
- allow for multidirectional movement
- adaptable to environment
how does the structure of the hip match the function
- ball and socket joint
- multiaxial movement
- deep socket and labrum
- angle of neck of femur
- allows muscle leverage
- skeletal biomechanics for SLS
what movements are available at the hip
- flexion/extension - sagittal plane - sagittal axis
- abduction/adduction - frontal plane - frontal axis
- external/internal rotation - transverse plane - transverse axis
how to the hips stay stable and strong
- trabeculae system
- compression
- tension
- ligaments
- extension
- medial rotation
- abduction
what does the key tern action mean
useful way to group muscles
what does the key term origin mean
where it starts
what does the key terms insertion mean
where it ends
what does the key term innervation mean
which nerve switches it on
what are the hip flexors
- iliacus
- psoas major
- pectineus
- rectus femoris
- sartorius
where does the iliacus originate and insert
- It originates in the iliac crest; superior two thirds of iliac fossa; ala of sacrum; anterior sacroiliac ligaments
- it inserts at the lesser trochanter of femur, via tendon of psoas major
where does the psoas major originate and insert
- it originates at the transverse processes of L1-L5 vertebrae, vertebral bodies of T12-L5 vertebrae, and adjacent intervertebral discs
- it inserts in the lesser trochanter of femur
where does the pectineus originate and insert
- it originates in the superior pubic ramus
- it inserts in the pectineal line of femur
where does the rectus femoris originate and insert
- it originates in the anterior inferior iliac spine and supraacetabular groove of ilium
- it inserts in the tibial tuberosity, via tendon of quadriceps femoris muscle and patella ligament
where does the sartorius originate and insert
- it originates in the anterior inferior iliac spine
- it inserts in the medial aspect of proximal part of tibia
what are the hip extensors
- biceps femoris
- semimembranosus
- semitendinosus
- gluteus maximus
where does the biceps femoris originate and insert
- it originates in the ischial tuberosity
- it inserts at the head of the fibula
