Chapter 7B (Gluteal Region: Buttocks and Hip) Flashcards
Superficial Layer of the Gluteal Region
- Gluteus maximus
- Gluteus medius
- Gluteus minimus
- Tensor fasciae latae
The gluteal bursae separate the ___ ___ from the adjacent structures
gluteus maximus
The bursae are located in ___ ___ ___ ___ (where the IT tract crosses the greater trochanter)
Areas subject to friction
The bursae helps ___ ___ and ___ ___ ___.
Reduce friction; permit free movement
The three bursae associated with the gluteus maximus are the:
- Trochanteric bursa
- Ishcial bursa
- Gluteofemoral bursa
Trochanteric bursitis is a friction-type bursitis caused by …
inflammation of trochanteric bursa from repetitive actions involving gluteus maximus and greater trochanter
Trochanteric bursitis results in…
deep diffuse pain in the lateral thigh radiating along the iliotibial tract and localized pain just posterior to the greater trochanter
Ischial bursitis is a friction-type bursitis resulting from…
excessive friction between the ischial bursae and ischial tuberosities
Ischial bursitis results in…
localized pain over the bursa and increases the movement of the gluteus maximus. Calcification may occur with chronic bursitis.
(Ischial bursitis)
May lead to ____ ____ in debilitated people
pressure sores
Deep layer of muscles in the gluteal region:
- Piriformis
- Obturator internus
- Superior and inferior gemelli
- Quadratus femoris
Injury to the superior gluteal nerve results in a characteristic motor loss resulting in ____ ____ ____ or ____ ____.
Gluteus medius limp; gluteal gait
(Injury to the superior gluteal nerve)
____ and ____ ____ of the thigh is impaired.
Abduction and medial rotation
(Injury to the superior gluteal nerve)
Positive Trendelendburg test
When injured, the pelvis on the unsupported side descends
(Injury to the superior gluteal nerve)
The unsupported limb becomes …
Too long to clear the ground during the swing phase of walking
