  • Front
  • Back
this bone is smaller, more laterally located, and articulates only with the ankle
fibula
this bone articulates with the lateral and medial condyles, lateral and medial epicondyles, and the intercondylar notch
distal femur
this bone articules with both knee and ankle and is larger and more medially located
tibia
what are the 2 main joints of the knee
tibiofemoral joint
patellofemoral joint
what makes extension the most stable position of the knee joint
ligaments and the joint capsule
Knee stability:

- the quariceps tendon, the patellar ligaments, and extensor muscles make this part of the knee stable
anterior stability
knee stability:

- the lateral and medial collateral ligaments, the IT band, and pes anserunus give this part of the knee stability
medial-lateral stability
knee stability:

- the knee flexor muscles give this part of the knee stability
posterior stability
these ligaments provide stability, primarily with full extension, making extension the most stable position of the knee
anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments
how many degrees of freedom does the knee have?
2-
flexion- extension
rotation
most common disease that affects bones in the knee
- cartilage in knee gradually wears away, causeing pain and swelling. injuries and tendons also cause knee problems
arthritis
common sports injury that occurs by a sudden twisting motion.
ACL injury
knock knee is also called
excessive genu valgum
bow leg is also called
genu varum
primary function of _____________ is to absorb shock and impart thrust to the body during walking and running
ankle and foot
the ankle and foot have..

___ bones
___ligaments
___muscles

making it the most stable, congruent joint in the body
26 bones
100 ligaments
30 muscles
this is the articulation of the fibua and tibia with the talus of the foot
talocrural joint
how many degrees of freedom are in the ankle?
1-- dorsiflexion and plantarflexion
the talus and calcaneus make up what part of the foot?
rearfoot
the navicular, cuboid, and three cuneiforms make up this part of the foot
midfoot
the five metatarsals and 14 phalanges makes up what part of the foot?
forefoot
flat foot is known as..
- defect of foot that eliminates the arch
- condition is most often inherited

if it happens in adulthood it is called posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
pes planus
claw foot is known as..

- deformity fo the foot that is marked by very high arches and very long toes
- hereditary condition but can also occur when muscles in the foot contract or become unbalanced due to nerve or muscle disorders
pes cavus
deformity of the foot in which the toes are pointed down and the arch is higg
- can be a condition from birth or develop as a consequence from other disorders
claw toe
portion of the gait cycle in which one foot is in contact with the ground
stance phase
instance in which the body is directly over the foot
midstance
portion of the gait cycle in which one foot does not have contact with ground
swing phase
time when both feet are on the ground; two periods overlap the stance phase during one gait cycle
double support
time that elapses during stance phase of one extremity
stance time
distance from heel strike of one foot to heel striek of the other foot
stride length
number of steps per unit time
cadence
linear distance between midpoint of heel of one foot and same point on the other foot
width of base of support
angle of foot placement from the line of progression
degree of toe out
bringing leg into abduction during swing phase
circumduction
decreased time from heel strike to foot flat (foot drop)
foot slap
increased hip and knee flexion furing swing phase
steppage
painful gait patern in which step length is shortened on one side
antalgic
leadning with one side of the body
unilateral lead
bringing the pelvis up on the side of the advancing leg during swing phase
hip hiking
weak abductor muscles on the stance leg
Trendelenburg or gluteus medius gait
running like steps with little forward progression, involuntary acceleration
festinating
wide based, uncoordinated staggering patter
ataxia
at what height should walker be adjusted to?
at wrist crease
the ability to control the center of gravity over the base of support in a given sensory environment
balance
what are the 3 major components of postural control?
sensory input
central integration
motor output
what are the 3 sensory inputs for postural orientation?
visual
somatosensory
vestibular
what are the 4 automatic postural responses?
ankle strategy
hip strategy
suspensory strategy
stepping strategy
this strategy...

- bilateral hip and knee flexion lowers center of gravity to make balance easier to maintain
suspensory strategy
strategy..

= step to prevent a fal
- center of gravity exceeds loss of support boudanry
- reestablish new base of support underneath shifted center of gravity
stepping strategy
strategy..

- head and hips move in same direction
-slow/ small perturbation
- surface firm, broad, wider than feet
-contractions distal to proximal
ankle strategy
strategy...

- head and hips move in opposite directions
- large/ fast perturbation
- surface unstable or shorter than feet
-contractions proximal to distal
hip strategy
