What are the 4 general functions of ligaments?
|
• Ligaments are designed to limit abnormal or excessive movements at a joint
• Ligaments do permit normal motion • Ligaments are slightly elastic • Ligaments are part of a reflex response to excessive movement. |
|
|
What type of joint is the pubic symphysis?
|
secondary cartilaginous joint (that has an interpubic disc)
|
|
|
What are the MAJOR hip flexors? Lesser?
|
illacus and psoas; lesser: rectus femoris and sartorius
|
|
|
What are the hip extensors?
|
Three hamstrings (semimembranosus, semitendinosus, biceps femoris) and gluteus maximus
|
|
|
What are the hip adductors?
|
adductor magnus, brevis, and longus
|
|
|
Common origin of hip adductors?
|
All attach to the pubic ramus and the medial and/or posterior femur
|
|
|
What are the abductors of the hip?
|
gluteus medius and minimus (and tensor fascia lata)
|
|
|
What are the lateral/external rotators of the hip?
|
piriformis, obturator internus and externus, gemellus superior and inferior, and quadratus femoris
|
|
|
What is the only rotator that connects directly to the sacrum?
|
piriformis
|
|
|
If you have an anterior innominate rotation dysfunction, where are the ASIS, PSIS, and malleolus?
|
inferior ASIS, superior PSIS, and long or inferior malleolus ALL on the AFFECTED SIDE
|
|
|
If you have a right side superior ASIS, inferior PSIS, and short malleolus, what is the somatic dysfunction?
|
Right posterior innominate rotation dysfunction
|
|
|
How do you decide which side is dysfunctional when testing the innominate?
|
Side of the POSITIVE test for standing flexion test and/or pelvic compression test is the AFFECTED side
|
|
|
What is a positive standing flexion test?
|
When bending over, if one innominate locks early, its PSIS will elevate sooner (and probably farther) than the PSIS on the other side. This would be a positive test for the iliosacral somatic dysfunction of the ipsilateral side
|
|
|
A medial malleolus that is more cephalad on the side of a positive standing flexion test may indicate what?
|
It may indicate a shorter leg, a superior innominate shear, or a posteriorly rorate ilium on that side
|
|
|
A medial malleolus that is more pedad on the side of a positive standing flexion test may indicate what?
|
It may indicate a longer leg, an inferior innominate shear, or an anteriorly rotated ilium on that side
|
