General
The two main joints of the knee.
What are the Tibiofemoral and Patellofemoral Joints?
Static vs Dynamic: Quads
What is Dynamic Stability?
The ends of the tibia and femur are covered and cushioned by this kind of tough cartilage tissue.
What is the menisci?
Formal name of ACL
What is Anterior Cruciate Ligament?
Action of the Quadriceps Femoris Group?
What is Extension of the Knee?
Articulates at the tibial plateau.
What is the Femur?
Static vs Dynamic: Joint Capsule Strength
What is Static Stability?
"O" shaped meniscus
What is Lateral Meniscus?
ACL prevents this movement of the knee.
What is Anterior Translation?
Origin of the Semimembranosus.
What is the Ischial Tuberosity?
The "forgotten joint" when it comes to knee pain.
What is Proximal Tibiofemoral Joint?
Static vs Dynamic: Popliteus?
What is Dynamic Stability?
Part of the meniscus that heals faster due to greater blood supply.
What is Superficial Portion of Meniscus?
ACL rises from this portion of the tibia.
What is Anterior Portion of Tibia?
Insertion of Biceps Femoris.
What is the head of the fibula?
Mechanism that allows for the "modified hinge joint" that is our knee to go into and out of extension.
What is the Screw Home Mechanism?
Static vs Dynamic: Ligament Orientation?
What is Static Stability?
This meniscus bears more load.
What is Lateral Meniscus?
The two modes of injury to the ACL.
What is Contact and Non-Contact Mechanism?
Action of the Gastrocnemius.
What is Flexion of the Knee (via tibiofemoral joint)
The bony landmark that serves as the insertion for the IT Band
What is Gerdy's Tubercle?
Does not contribute to static stability of the knee.
What is Quad Activation?
One of these are not the functions of Menisci:
-shock absorbance
-articulation
-enhanced proprioception
What is Proprioception?
Gender more at risk for ACL injuries.
What are Females?
One of these is not part of the Pes Anserine group:
-sartorius
-biceps femoris
-gracilis
-semitendinosis
What is the Biceps Femoris?
