(105 cards)
Coxafemoral Joint is considered what type of joint
Ball and socket
Coxafemoral Joint degrees of freedom
3 - sagittal, frontal & horizontal
The femoral head is secured within the ________ by an extensive set of connective ________ & ______
The femoral head is secured within the acetabulum by an extensive set of connective tissues & muscles
Coxafemoral open-pack position
Capsule/lig & bony
Capsule/lig - 30° of flexion + 30° of abduction + slight external rotation
Bony - anything besides closed pack
Coxafemoral closed-pack position
Capsule/lig & bony
Capsule/lig - full ext + internal rotation + abduction
Bony - 30° of flexion + 30° of abduction + slight external rotation
The close-packed positioned for CFJ is the most ligamentous ____ positioned whereas the open-packed positioned is most ____ congruent positioned
taught
bony
The CFJ relies more on the ____ subsystem (form closure) for stability
Passive
Hip ABD & ADD happens in what plane of motion
Frontal plane
The weight bearing limb is referred to as the
Support hip
Pelvis-on-femoral applies to what rule
Convex on concave
What rule applied to femoral-on-pelvis
concave on convex

lumbar spine
Posterior pelvic tilt results in flexion of the ________ spine (hip ext)
lumbar spine
Pelvic tilt happens in what plane of motion
Sagittal plane
Anterior pelvic tilt results in flexion of the ________ spine (hip flx)
Lumbar spine
Hip IR & ER happen in what plane of motion
Horizontal plane
Knee flx & ext happen in what plane of motion
Sagittal plane
What rule applies to hip (pelvis-on-femoral) IR & ER
convex on concave
What rule applies to hip (femoral-on-pelvis) IR & ER
concave on convex
short arc of motion within the sagittal plane about a medial-to- lateral axis through both femoral heads
pelvic tilt
The direction of pelvic tilt - either anterior or posterior - is based on the
direction of rotation of a point on the iliac crest
Full pelvic-on-femoral rotation relies on an
ipsidirectional lumbopelvic rhythm
During hip internal rotation the iliac crest on the side of the nonsupport hip rotates ____ in the horizontal plane
ventral (post pelvic tilt)
During hip external rotation the iliac crest on the side of the nonsupport hip rotates ____ in the horizontal plane
dorsal (ant pelvic tilt)
