26
Q

what is the Q angle of the knee?

A

patellofemoral angle

27
Q

describe the functions of the patella

A
  • increased mechanical advantage by lengthening the moment arm
  • increases the amount of force of the quads AND protects the joint
28
Q

what are the 4 ligaments at the knee?

A

ACL
PCL
MCL
LCL

29
Q

describe the ACL & PCL

A

ACL
- runs superiorly & posteriorly from anterior tibia (just medial to meniscus) to attach posteriorly to the lateral condyle of the femur

PCL
- runs superiorly & anteriorly from the posterior tibia to attach anteriorly to the medial condyle of the femur

BOTH WORK TO PROVIDE STABILITY IN THE SAGITTAL PLANE

30
Q

describe the MCL & LCL

A

MCL
- tibial collateral ligament
- flat, broad ligament that runs from the medial condyle of the femur to the medial condyle & superior part of the medial surface of the tibia

LCL
- fibular collateral ligament
- round, cord-like ligament that runs from the lateral condyle of the femur to the fibular head

49
Q

name and describe the arches of the foot
