Muscles
This is this is the muscular group of the anterior knee that only acts at the knee.
(Or, These are the three muscles of this 4 muscule group which act only on the knee)
Vasti group:
Medialis, intermediatis, lateralis
A high ankle sprain usually is between these two bones.
What are the tibia and the fibula?
(will accept the wedge that is the talus if then the fibula is mentioned)
The name of the connective tissue that runs from the posterior calcaneus to each distal digit.
What is plantar fascia?
This is the joint of the ankle that produces the movement within the sagittal plane.
What is the talocrural joint (tib-fib-talus)?
The squat, as it has the distal segment fixed in space and the body moving freely upon that segment, would be considered this type of exercise.
What is a closed chain exercise?
These two muscles conjoin together to form what we call the 'hip flexor' muscle.
What are the Psoas major and illiacus muscles?
Tight calves can cause this pain and inflammation at the bottom of the foot.
What is plantar fasciitis?
This is the name for the angle between the neck of the femur as it bisects the shaft of the femur, indicating how the head of the femur is sitting within the acetabulum.
What is the angle of inclination?
Rolling an ankle is also known as this movement.
What is inversion of the ankle (or subtalar joint)?
The patellar ligament helps to increase the mechanical advantage of this muscle group by increasing the moment arm.
What is the quad muscle group?
What is the prime mover for abduction at the hip?
What is the glutes medius?
Also, the minimus and the tensor fascia latae. Will accept TFL but not minimus.
A large Q angle, a V trochlear groove, and/or valgus knee collapse can cause what of the patella?
What is lateral dislocation of the patella?
This is the primary ligament to resist valgus collapse at the knee.
What is the MCL (medial collateral lig.)?
The sartorius muscle is called the 'tailor's muscle" because of these three actions at the hip and/or knee.
What is: Flexes at knee, flexes at hip, abducts at hip
(also will accept lateral rotation of hip)
The triceps surae have this common insertion point.
What is the Achilles tendon?
This muscle would experience passive insufficiency during 'dancers pose' of yoga; that is, the hip is in extension while the knee is in flexion.
What is the rectus femoris?
This is the name for FAI that is from a fat neck and head.
What is cam mechanism?
When analyzing the femoral head, this is how much superior coverage there is from the acetabulum. A large degree of this coverage may cause FAI.
What is the center edge angle?
What is the name of the 'typical' gym exercise that is closed chain, bilateral, and produces with the concentric contractions that produce 'triple extension'? (Hip, knee, ankle)
What is a squat?
(OK for another exercise if it fits this criteria and you can explain that)
This dorsiflexor muscle of the anterior compartment of the lower leg is also an ankle invertor.
What is the tibialis anterior?
This muscle, which flexes the knee and flexes the hip, has an insertion on the tibia at the pes anserinus.
What is the sartorius muscle?
The typical mechanisms for this big knee injury are valgus, pronation, and large forces from directional changes.
What is an ACL injury?
This is the protective, cushioning structure between the tibia plateau and the medial condyle of the femur.
What is the medial meniscus?
This is the combo of ankle dorsiflexion, abduction, and eversion that is common in normal gait.
What is pronation?
The talus would move back to 'make way' for the tibia in what motion of the ankle joint?
(hint: what is moving on what, and what is concave and convex?)
What are the arthrokinematics of closed chain dorsiflexion?
(Will accept tibia moving upon talus.)
