MT Flashcards
importance of pelvis
middle center of mass
locomotion
stability of masses above/below
base of vertebral column
function of pelvis w/ GI/GU
acts as a bowl supporting most of the systems
pelvis lymphatic/vascular importance
contains all vascular/lymphatic contents for below structures
important areas of pelvis for LE circulation
pelvic diaphragm and inguinal area
pelvis main functions
- biomechanical function/balance
- reproduction
- elimination
- vascular/lymphatics for the region and LE
basic anatomy of the innominate
composed of the ilium, pubis, and ischium
acetabulum structure
composed of 3 different ossifaciton centers (3 areas of innominate)
true vs accessory ligaments
true - bone to bone
accessory - attach at another ligament, tendon, or fascia
ligament functions
- limit movement
- permit motion
- elastic quality
- limit movement as part of reflex response
anterior pelvic ligaments
sacrospinous - sacrum to ischial spine
iliolumbar - from ilia to L5
anterior sacroiliac - covers sacroiliac joint
inguinal L - ASIS to superior pubic rami
posterior pelvic ligaments
sacrotuberous - sacrum to ischial tuberosity
posterior ascroiliac - covers sacroiliac joint
attachment of Gmax/biceps femoris
sacrotuberous L
attachement of coccygeus M
sacrospinous L
iliolumbar L function
stabilization of L5, prevents excessive anterior/rotary motion
origin of IOM and TAM
inguinal L
L preventing anterior displacement of sacrum
anterior sacroiliac L (thicker than PSL for this reason)
L filling irregular space posteriosuperior to sacroiliac joint
interosseous sacroiliac L
attachment points of PSL
3rd/4th sacral segments to PSIS and posteiror iliac crest
attachment points of ASL
3rd sacral segment to lateral pre-auricular sulcus
attachment points of inguinal L
pubic tubercle to ASIS
attachment points of sacrospinous L
ischial spine to lateral sacrum/sacrotuberous L
attachment points of sacrotuberous L
lower sacral tubercles to ischial tuberosity
Ls associated w/ pubic symphysis
superior pubic L (above) and inferior pubic L (below)
innominate w/ heel strike
right heel strike = right innominate rotates posterior due to iliopsoas contraction
