How many joints are in the foot?

33
100
These important stabilizing ligaments of the knee give medial and lateral support respectively to prevent opening of the joint on either side..
What are the MCL and LCL.
100
Name the one place in which the shoulder girdle articulates with (attaches to) the axial skeleton.
What is the sternoclavicular joint.
100
These anterior compartment leg muscles are the main extensors of the knee joint - name all of them.
What are the Quadriceps, TFL and Glut Max.
100
Name the 3 muscles that comprise the IlioPsoas

Iliacus, Psoas Major and Minor

200

What is the most commonly sprained ankle ligament?

Anterior Talofibular

200
The name of two joints found in the knee.
What are the Tibofemoral and the Patellofemoral Joints.
200
What bones are we talking about when we discuss the shoulder girdle.
What are the scapulae, clavicles and sternum
200
These three posterior compartment leg muscles are the main flexors of the knee joint.
What are the Hamstrings.
200

Where is the origin and insertion of the IlioPsoas

T12 - Lessor Trochanter

300

The Achilles Tendon is the common distal attachment of these muscles.

Gastroc and Soleus.

300
These are all the ranges of motion that the knee makes - there are five.
What are Flexion/Extension, Lateral/Medial rotation, and hyperextension.
300
These four deep muscles of the shoulder joint stabilize the shallow joint and prevent dislocation on three sides.
What is the Rotator Cuff - Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, Subscapularis.
300
This muscle is the main medial rotator of the knee joint.
What is Sartorius
300

How do you know that you are NOT using your IlioPsoas in a sit-up?

Your abdominal muscles pop out!
400

Name the arches of the foot and what they do

Transverse Arch, Medial Longitudinal, Lateral Longitudinal

400
The ROM that renders the knee most vulnerable to injury is this, say why.
What is Flexion b/c it allows for rotation and potential blows or twisting from the side.
400
Describe the Shoulder Joint - what bones are we talking about and describe its structural characteristics.
What is the place where the humerus attaches to the glenoid fossa of the Scapulae - this is a very shallow joint b/c the head of the humerus is larger than the cavity in which it sits, i.e. it's not a "snug fit" like the hip joint. It needs other structures to stabilize it - like the glenoid labrum, ligaments and the rotator cuff.
400
These important stabilizing ligaments of the knee cross the joint to minimize internal slippage.
What are the ACL and PCL
400

What happens when the Psoas takes on a weight bearing function? 

It becomes overused and can become dry, constricted... 
500

What does Intrinsic and Extrinsic muscles mean?

Intrinsic refer to the muscles that are within say the hand or foot, extrinsic muscles means it's longer and crosses a joint - i.e. longer tendons cross a joint and move that body part even though the muscle-belly lies in the foreleg/forearm.

500
This sesamoid bone is not a weight bearing bone.
What is the Patella.
500
This fibrocartilagenous ring functions like a washer to seal the shoulder joint, like the labrum in the hip and the menisci of the knees, they allow for better distribution of synovial fluid, increasing the surface area where the bone sits in the joint.
What is the Glenoid Labrum
500
These fibrocartilaginous discs of the knee help increase distribution of the synovial fluid to provide better stability to the knee and decrease friction. For those people who have them removed, greater degenerative changes happen.
What are the two menisci of the knee.
500

Discuss why the psoas is so important - you can talk about it structure/function, its impact on emotions/wellbeing.. or anything else you learned.

Response may vary... 

- it's REALLY thick and located close to the spine, so it's connected to fight/flight/freeze response

- need to drink a lot of water to keep in hydrated

- it's a fists width thick! 

-it can be thought of as fluid vs. strong
