What are the talus and calcaneus?
100
This Boston Bruins legend shares a name with a special test to assess length of a patient's hip flexors.
Who is Tim Thomas? (Thomas Test)
200
When performing a manual muscle test on tibialis anterior, you are assessing the integrity at this spinal cord segment.
What is L4-5? (L4 myotome)
200
This angle in relation to the hip osteology is supposed to be >125*.
What is coxa valga?
200
The combination of supination, adduction, and plantarflexion.
What is inversion?
200
A patient with recurring inversion sprains would be a candidate for this test.
What is lateral stability?
300
A patient presenting with damage to L2-L4 spinal cord segment would present with weakness in which two motions.
What are hip flexion and adduction?
300
This painful condition occurs because of tearing of the plantar aponeurosis.
What is plantar fascitis?
300
The normal available ROM for hip flexion and extension.
What is 15* extension and 120* flexion?
300
The tibiofemoral joint is a synovial hinge joint with two degrees of freedom and minimal bony stability. It relies on these 3 structures for stability. (general)
What are joint capsule, ligaments, and muscles?
300
Typical hip precautions after an postero-lateral THR.
What is <90* hip flexion, <neutral adduction, <neutral hip medial rotation?
400
When assessing a patient with spinal cord damage at this level(s) you find the patient scores 1/5 on MMT for hip extension. 
What is L5-S2?
400
This nerve is crucial in ankle eversion.
What is superior fibular?
400

A patient with decreased ankle eversion during gait would most likely see this compensation at the knee.

What is valgus?

400

The loose packed position of the hip.

What is approx 30* flexion, 30* abduction, and slight lateral rotation?

400
Capsular pattern in the hip.
What is hip flexion, medial rotation, abduction?
500
The muscles that adduct the hip are innervated by this nerve.
What is the obturator?
500
This anatomical alignment of the hip causes "pigeon-toed" gait.
What is femoral anteversion?
500

These 2-3 muscles are commonly cut during a minimally invasive posterior THR.
