Hip and Thigh
This pair of muscles attaches to the iliotibial band
tensor fascia latae and gluteus maximus
The trigger point referral pattern for peroneus brevis travels down this region
lateral aspect of the leg and ankle
muscle dorsiflexes and inverts the foot
tibialis anterior
This disease is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
This group of three structures lies within the femoral triangle.
femoral nerve, femoral artery, and femoral vein
This muscle is the deepest among the gluteals listed
gluteus minimus
The trigger point pattern for gastrocnemius refers pain mostly to this region.
medial arch of the foot & posterior leg
This compartment of the lower leg contains the majority of the peroneal muscles
What is the lateral compartment
Pain from bursitis may appear in these assessment types
active ROM, passive ROM, and palpation
The plantaris muscle usually blends with the Achilles tendon before attaching to this bone
calcaneus
The hamstrings all originate on this bony landmark
ischial tuberosity
This trigger point can be mistaken for plantar fasciitis due to its foot pain referral
abductor hallucis
muscle is responsible for inversion and plantarflexion of the foot
tibialis posterior
This condition causes foot pain that worsens after rest followed by activity
plantar fasciitis
This large bursa reduces friction between the greater trochanter and gluteus maximus.
trochanteric bursa
This is the most lateral of the hamstring muscles
biceps femoris
This pathology may occur if the dorsiflexor muscle group becomes inflamed
compartment syndrome
In the post compartment, this muscle is the only one that acts at both the knee and ankle joints
Gastrocnemius
This condition includes types known as “student’s elbow,” “housemaid’s knee,” and “tailor’s bottom.”
bursitis
This structure is associated with plantar fasciitis
plantar aponeurosis
This muscle, known for being the longest in the body, also flexes the hip and knee.
sartorius
The trigger point pattern for peroneus brevis does not refer to the medial arch—rather, it follows this pathway.
down lateral aspect of the leg and ankle
This muscle unlocks the knee by medially rotating the leg at the knee joint.
popliteus
Gradual worsening lateral thigh and lateral knee pain best describes this pathology.
iliotibial band contracture
These boundaries define the femoral triangle
adductor longus, sartorius, and the inguinal ligament
