Upper extremity
The spine of the scapula, lateral border of the scapula, and medial border of the scapula are the 3 bony landmarks to isolate this muscle belly.
What is the infraspinatus
This is the only quadriceps muscle that does NOT originate on the femur.
What is rectus femoris?
This vertebrae shifts superiorly when the neck is flexed, while its inferior counterpart does not move due to its attachment to the ribs.
What is C7?
This muscle has 2 origins, inserts at the mastoid process, and causes ipsilateral neck lateral flexion and contralateral neck rotation.
What is the sternocleidomastoid?
This is located distal to the patella and is an attachment site for the patellar ligament.
What is the tibial tuberosity?
This muscle lies just lateral to the brachioradialis muscle.
What is ECRL/ECRB?
This muscle originates at the soleal line, proximal posterior surface of the tibia, and the posterior part of the head of the fibula.
What is the soleus?
The scalenes and levator scapulae muscles share attachment sites on these structures.
What are the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae?
Sliding inferiorly from the sternal notch, you will come to a horizontal ridge called the ______ ______ where the _____ _____ attaches.
What are the sternal angle and the second rib?
This structure is often torn first when the foot is excessively inverted while in a weight bearing position.
What is the anterior talofibular ligament?
You can identify this muscle by starting at the shaft of the ulna in an anatomical position and moving medially about an inch.
What is the flexor carpi ulnaris?
Locating the coccyx, edge of the sacrum, PSIS, and posterior 2 inches of the iliac crest will isolate the landmarks that form the origin of this muscle.
What is the gluteus maximus?
You can find this lumbar vertebral spinous process by drawing a horizontal line between the tops of these two structures.
What are L4 and the iliac crests?
This muscle lies between the middle scalene and levator scapula on the lateral side of the neck.
What is the posterior scalene?
This bony landmark located on the medial side of the foot becomes more distinguishable when everting the foot.
What is the head of the talus?
This is the only rotator cuff muscle that does NOT attach to the greater tubercle of the humerus.
What is subscapularis?
This muscle has its insertion on the medial cuneiform and base of the first metatarsal. Its actions are to invert and dorsiflex the foot/ankle.
What is tibialis anterior?
You can palpate the quadratus lumborum by locating these 3 structures and asking your patient to hike their hip toward their shoulder.
What are the 12th rib, the TVPs of the lumbar vertebrae, and the posterior iliac crests?
This abdominal muscle has fibers that run inferomedially in a "hands in pockets" direction.
What is external oblique?
This structure lies along the posterior/lateral portion of the knee between the biceps femoris tendon and the gastrocnemius belly.
What is the common fibular nerve?
This muscle originates on the distal half of the anterior surface of the humerus and inserts at the tuberosity and coronoid process of the ulna.
What is the brachialis?
This muscle is located in prone by identifying the coccyx, PSIS, and greater trochanter and rolling your fingers across the slender muscle belly.
What is the piriformis?
These muscles extend the vertebral column and rotate it to the opposite side. They insert on the spinous processes of lumbar vertebrae through the second cervical vertebrae.
What are multifidi and rotatores?
Vertebral levels C3, C4, C5, C6, and T2 correspond with these anterior neck structures.
What are the hyoid bone, thyroid, sides of thyroid cartilage, cricoid ring, and sternal notch?
This is an attachment site for the biceps femoris muscle, part of the soleus muscle, and the fibular collateral ligament.
What is the head of the fibula?
