25
clinical criteria for normal stance-the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rays
are maximally dorsiflexed
26
clinical criteria for normal stance-the bisection of the posterior surface of the calcaneus is
perpendicular to the supporting surface
27
a line connecting the 5 metatarsal heads is
parallel to the supporting surface | perpendicular to the calcaneal bisection
28
the fetus' hip joint should be
externally rotated and maximally flexed
29
the fetus's legs should be
inernally rotated with the knees maximally flexed
30
the fetus's feet should be
plantarflexed and inverted
31
in utero what is the position of left leg in in relation to right leg
the left leg is usually over the right leg
32
in fetal position , the hip is
1. flexed 2. abducted 3. externally rotated
33
in the adult hip is
1. neither flexed or extended (vertical) 2. at the intersection of the frontal and sagittal planes (neither adducted or abducted ) 3. at the center of range of motion in the transverse plane
34
angle of inclination
the angle formed by a line bisecting the neck of the femur and a line bisecting the long axis of the femur
35
angle of inclination is a --------plane evaluation
FRONTAL
36
angle of inclination >140
male ---because hip is smaller
37
angle of inclination <140
female
38
normal range for angle of inclination at birth
135º-140º
39
Less angulated means
higher angle number
40
the less angulated (higher angle number)
the more narrow the hip
41
as the measured angle gets to 90, the hip will be
wider
42
angle of inclination is AKA
shaft neck angle
43
normal adult value for angle of inclination in male
126º-128º
44
normal adult value for angle of inclination in female
90º-125º
45
women usually have a ---------amount of angulation ( angle closer to 90º)
HIGHER
46
the adult values are usually reached by the age of
6 years old
47
ontogeny - femoral version
* soft tissue changes of the femoral head relative to acetabulum * Angle of anteversion
48
Angle of anteversion
the angle formed by the neck of the femur with respect to the frontal plane
49
angle of anteversion is a --------plane measurement
Transverse
50
version is
a turning within a joint , involving a soft tissue change | i.e., the change in the angle of anteversion is a versional change
51
torsion
a twisting within a bone | i.e., the change in the angle of inclination
52
at birth the angle of anteversion is about
60º externally rotated in the transverse plane with respect to the frontal plane
53
during development the hip undergoes a ---------internal change for finish with the normal adult value of ----------(-internal or external?)
50º 10º External
54
what is the benefit of the 50º internal change during development ?
better seating of the femoral head within the acetabulum
55
at fetal position we need to be --------rotated
externally
56
if the angle of anteversion is greater than normal or (greater than 10 º external this would indicate
a less than normal developmental versional change | clinically, this may be a cause of out-toein
57
transverse plane changes will create
transverse plane deformity
58
if the angle of anteversion is less than normal ( or less than 10º external) this would indicate
a greater than normal developmental versional change.
59
if the angle of anteversion is less than normal ( or less than 10º external) this condition may be referred to as
retroversion | clinically this may be the cause of in-toeing
60
retroversion is the cause of
in-toeing
61
Retro is changes
going PAST normal
62
Femoral torsion
the angle formed by the axis through the head and neck of the femur and the transcondylar line of the distal femur
63
femoral torsion is a ---------plane measurement
Transverse
64
femoral torsion is AKA
angle of antetorision angle of declination angle of femoral torsion
65
at birth the normal angle of femoral torsion is
about 35º internally rotated
66
the normal adult value of angle of femoral torsion is
10º internally rotated
67
the change of angle that occurs in the angle of femoral torsion between newborns and adults is from
greater internal rotation to a position of lesser internal rotation therefore the change is in the direction of EXTERNAL torquing
68
if the angle of femoral torsion is greater than normal (or greater than 10º internal) then this would indicate
a less than normal developmental torsional change | clinically this may be the cause of in-toein
69
if the angle of femoral torsion is less than normal ( less than 10º internally rotated ) then this would indicate
greater than normal developmental torsional change this condition may be referred to as retrotorsion clinically this may be a cause of out-toeing
70
in-toeing is more of
anteroversion rotation
71
out-toeing is more of a
retroversion rotataion
72
if we start at 30 go past 10
retro torsion
73
knee position-in a normal adult, the angle of anteversion is
10º external
74
knee position-in a normal adult, the angle of femoral torsion is
10º internal
75
as a result of angle of anteversion and angle of femoral torsion in adults the knee should be at
0º in the transverse plane, or parallel to the frontal plane
76
the anterior aspect of the tibial plateau extends further ----------than the posterior aspect of the tibial plateau
superiorly | this is a sagittal plane change
77
why babies can't straighten their knees
because the changes in tibial plateau have not occurred yet
78
at birth the tibial plateau is angulated
30º posteriorly
79
the adult normal value for tibial plateau is
5º
80
if too much change in the position of the tibial plateau has occurred
genu recurvatum may be present
81
at birth the tibia has a varus attitude of
15-30º
82
in the adult the normal value of bowing of the tibia is
0-2º
83
valgus/varum is
frontal plane deformity
84
frontal plane bowing of the tibia
the distal aspect of tibia is directed towards the midline compared to the proximal aspect of the tibia. However, the measurement is made with respect to the ground
85
tibial torsion
tibial torsion refers to the transverse plane rotation of the distal aspect of the tibia relative to the proximal aspect of the tibia
86
normal value of tibial torsion at birth
0º
87
normal value of tibial torsion in adults
18-23º external
88
can we measure true tibial torsion?
no because the fibula is in the way-so we measure mealleolar position
89
malleolar position is the relationship between
the bisection of tibia proximally to the bisection of medial and lateral malleoli distally
90
clinically we measure the angle formed by the bisection of the medial and lateral malleoli with respect to what plane?
frontal plane
91
for measuring the angle formed by the bisection of medial and lateral malleoli the knee and therefore the proximal tibia should be in what plane ?
frontal plane
92
normal values of malleolar position at birth
0º
93
normal values of malleolar position in adults :
13-18º external
94
true tibial torsion is ................ than malleolar position
5º greater | because the fibular malleolus is slightly anterior to the distal tibial bisection
95
because of the difference between true tibial torsion and malleolar position we should use
15-20º external as the normal tibial torsion and not the 13-18º
