        Help  

Question
Answer
Pelvic Girdle   attaches the lower limbs to the axial skeleton at the hip joint  
Pelvic Girdle   Called the bony pelvis or the pelvic girdle  
Pelvic Girdle   Transmits the weight of the upper body to the lower limbs  
Pelvic Girdle   Supports visceral organs of the pelvis  
Hip bone/ Coxal   Formed by the fusion of the illium, ischium and pubic bone  
Hip bone/ Coxal   Articulates with the head of the femur at the Acetabulum  
Hip bone/ Coxal   It fuses anteriorly at the pubic symphysis  
Hip bone/ Coxal   Forms the sacroiliac joint with the sacrum posteriorly  
The Coxal bones, the sacrum, and the coccyx bones form   the bony pelvis  
Sacrum   Forms the most inferior portion of the spine  
Sacrum   Connects with the posterior illium creating the sacroiliac joint  
Coccyx   Fused small vertebrae at the distal end of the scrum, “tailbone”  
Anterior muscles   Flex the hip and extend the leg at the knee  
Posterior muscles   Extend the hip and flex the leg at the knee  
Adductor muscles   adduct the hip, close the leg  
Abductor muscles   abduct the hip, open the leg  
Rotators   Medially and laterally rotate the hip  
Flexion   Bends a joint/brings bones closer together  
Extension   Opens a joint/ straightens the joint  
Adduction   brings the limb closer to the midline  
Abduction   taking the limb away from midline  
Medial &l Lateral Rotation   turning of a head or ball inside of the socket  
Circumduction   Combination of flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction  
Circumduction   creates a cone shaped movement/ only at the hip and shoulder  
O – Origin   the anchor, where a muscle attaches to a bone that does not move  
I – Insertion   where a muscle attaches to a bone that moves during contraction  
A – Action   the movement caused by contraction of a muscle  
P – Palpation   Where the muscle can be felt by touch  
TrP- Trigger Point   pattern of trigger point referral  
Iliolumbar   Located between transverse processes of L4-5 and the Iliac crest  
Inguinal   Superficial band between the ASIS and pubic tubercle  
Sacrotuberous   Between ischial tuberosity and edge of sacrum  
Sacroiliac   superficial to sacroiliac joint  
ASIS   Anterior Superior Iliac Spine  
PSIS   Posterior Superior Iliac Spine  
Pubis   Interior bones of the pelvis, connected by the pubis symphysis  
Ischial Tuberosity   Inferior and posterior prominence of Ischium  
Ischial Tuberosity   attachment site for hamstring muscles  
Charley Horse   Muscle contusion with bleeding into the tissues  
Charley Horse (Hematoma Formation)   Occurs with sever, prolonged pain  
Charley Horse (Hematoma Formation)   Can take up to three weeks to heal  
Charley Horse (Hematoma Formation)   Frequently experienced in contact sports  
Muscle Strain   Involves muscle or tendon tearing  
Muscle Strain   Usually results from athletes not warming up properly  
Muscle Strain   Common in athletes who’s sport involves running/sprinting/jumping  
Muscle Strain   takes 3-6 weeks to heal with proper treatment and rehabilitation  
Ligament Sprain   Tears in the fibers of a ligament  
Ligament Sprain   Can be mild to severe  
Ligament Sprain   Severe sprains are also called ruptures  
Rupture   complete tearing of the ligament fibers  
Ligament Sprain   inflammation, redness, discoloration, heat, swelling and pain  
Ligament Sprain   Not as common as muscle strains  
Ligament Sprain   much more serious than a strain and take much longer to heal  
Ligament Sprain   Heals in 8-12 weeks with proper treatment and rehabilitation
