What causes coxa valga?
angle of inclination > 125 degrees
angle between femoral neck and medial femoral shaft in the frontal plane
What structure is responsible for righting reactions?
midbrain

spinal levels
ex: startle reflex
(true/false) birth control can predispose individuals to blood clots/pulmonary emobolism
true
pt will experience sudden desaturation in O2 with a spike in HR
Equinovarus will result in increased WB through the (medial/lateral) foot.
lateral foot
commonly seen with spastic CP equinovarus (PF + SUP)
What positioning of the hip can be used to test for FAI?
FADIR
(true/false) AFOs are used to promote knee EXT
FALSE - limits knee EXT/hyperEXT
diagnosis
retropatellar knee pain and softening of the cartilage on the back of the patella
chondromalacia patellae
diagnosis
impaired bone mineralization that is characterized by generalized bone pain and pseudofractures
osteomalacia
