femoral neck
radius/ulna
spine

31
Q

Which bone can transmit a lot of force, very strong in compression, and very stiff(does not deform much before fracturing)

A

cortical

32
Q

cancellous bone is able to deform a lot before it fractures. this is primarily due to its

A

high collagen content

33
Q

During isometric contractions the internal moment is ____ to the external moment

A

equal

34
Q

During concentric contractions the internal moment is ____ than the external moment

A

greater

35
Q

During eccentric contractions, internal moment is ____ than external moment

A

less

36
Q

in the biomechanical muscle model, the sarcomere and passive components (endo-, peri-, and epimysium)

A

are parallel

37
Q

The maximum torque generated by the hip abductors occurs when the muscles are in a ____ position which corresponds to the functional task of _____

A

lengthened, single leg stance phase of gait

38
Q

An important function of the acetabular labrum is

A

it deepens the acetabular cup for increased stability

39
Q

The right lower extremity posture that would be observed in a person who has a dramatic retroversion of the right hip? Anteversion?

A

duck foot, pigeon toe

40
Q

The right lower extremity position that would be observed in a person who has a dramatic coxa vara of the right hip would be

A

right genu valgum (knock kneed)

41
Q

a newborn has increased

A

coxa valga (150 degrees)

42
Q

T or F During 2-legged stance, the hip muscles are primarily responsible for stability of the coxafemoral joint

A

F - NO muscle activity is required to maintain upright, neutral posture at the hip, ligaments and joint capsule provide stability

43
Q

3 primary functions of the hip

A

1 support HAT
2 static erect postures
3 dynamic postures

44
Q

What is the loose (open) pack position of the hip

A

35 degrees flexion/abduction, slight external rotation

45
Q

What is the closed packed position of the hip

A

maximum extension/int rot/abduction

46
Q

What are the two articulating surfaces of the hip

A

acetabulum of Os Coxae and head of Femur

47
Q

Which ligament of the hip is known as the Y

A

iliofemoral (anterior)
the others are pubofemoral (ant/inf)
ischiofemoral (post)

48
Q

a ring of fibrocartilage that encircles the acetabulum and its functions include shock absorption and pressure distribution; joint lubrication; enhances joint stability

A

acetabular labrum

49
Q

which portions of the acetabular labrum is most innervated

A

anterior and superior

50
Q

what finishes the acetabular labrum

A

transverse acetabular ligament

51
Q

What structure deepens the acetabulum by 20 or more percent

A

acetabular labrum

52
Q

Where is the articular cartilage thickest for femoral head and acetabulum

A

superiorly

53
Q

What is the only part of the femoral head that is not covered in articular cartilage?

fovea (attachment of the ligamentum teres)

54
Q

What happens if there is a disruptions of the ligamentum teres?

A

avascular necrosis

coxa valga corresponds with genu….

coxa vara corresponds with genu….

A

vara - bowleg

valga - knock-kneed

internal

greater than 12 degrees

61
Q

Retroversion causes _____ rotation of the femur when the angle of torsion is

A

external, less than 12 degrees

62

Q

accordion-like folds are found on the inferior and superior aspects of the joint capsule. these are called

A

the three dense and strong ligaments wrap around the hip joint capsule in a clockwise direction

66
Q

T or F The ligamentum teres supports the hip joint
