-tibiofemoral
-patellofemoral
-superior tibiofibular
Compartments of the lower leg
-lateral
-anterior
-posterior
What is the lateral compartment of leg
-peroneal group
What is the anterior compartment of the leg
-extensor group
What is the posterior compartment of the leg
-flexor group
What muscles are in the anterior compartment of leg
-tibialis anterior
-extensor hallucis longus
-extensor digitorum longus
-fibularis tertius
What muscles are in the lateral compartment of leg
-peroneus longus
-peroneus brevis
What muscles are in the deep posterior compartment of the leg
-Tom, dick and harry
-tibialis posterior
-flexor digitorum longus
-flexor hallucis loongus
What muscles are in the superficial posterior compartment of the leg
-gastrocnemius
-soleus
-achilles tendon
Intracapsular structures of knee (inside capsule)
-ACL
-PCL
-meniscus
-cartilage
-joint surface
Why is it important to know which structures are intracapsular vs extracapsular
-inflammation may be trapped within capsule
What is the special test to determine if there is something intracapsular that is injured
-wipe test
Wipe test
-swipe up on medial side of knee to get inflammation away
-then swipe down on lateral side of knee
-see if fluid shifts onto media l side
What shape is medial meniscus
-c shaped
What shape is lateral meniscus
-o shaped
Components of the quadriceps muscle
-rectus femoris
-vastus lateralis
-vastus intermedius
-vastus medialis
What components of the quadriceps have a lateral pull on patella
-rectus femoris
-vastus lateralis
-vastus intermedius
What components of the quadriceps have a medial pull on patella
-vastus medialis
Divisions of the hamstrings
-medial
-lateral
Medial hamstrings
-semimembranosus
-semitendinosis
Lateral hamstrings
-biceps femoris
Muscles that attach on pes anserine
-semitendinosus
-gracilis
-sartorius
What is the main action of gluteus medius
-hip abduction
-eccentrically controls internal rotation of femur in weight bearing
What extra actions do the anterior fibres of the gluteus medius do
-internally rotate hip
-assists with hip flexion
