What provides posterior stability, prevents the tibia from translating posteriorly, and rotary stability?
|
PCL
|
|
- primary stabilizing ligament of the knee
- provides anterior stability - prevents the tibia from translating anteriorly - rotary stability |
ACL
|
|
- provides lateral stability to the tibiofemoral joint
- prevents varus stress (ADD) |
LCL
|
|
- provides medial stability to the tibiofemoral joint

Pelvis
|
|
All quadriceps muscles perform knee extension; only one is a hip flexor as well. This means when the hip is flexed, this muscle is less effective as a knee extensor.
What is this muscle? |
Rectus Femoris
|
|
All four of the quadriceps muscles perform extension of the knee, what muscle is much more active in the last 15 degrees of extension and contributes heavily to the tracking of the patella?
|
Vatus Medialis Oblique
|
|
All three of the hamstring muscles perform knee flexion and hip extension; what muscles also assist in internal rotation of the tibia?
|
Semitendonosus
Semimembranosus |
