Answer |
| biceps femoris A | Long head - EX at hip; short head - FL of knee, Lat.Rot of flexed knee |
| biceps femoris O | Long H. - Ischial Tuberosity (w Semi's); short H.- Linea Aspera |
| biceps femoris Ins. | Lateral aspect of head of fibula |
| biceps femoris N - Long Head | Sciatic N- tibial division S1,2,3 |
| biceps femoris N - short head | Sciatic N -peroneal division L5, S 1-2 |
| this hamstring crosses Both : hip & knee joint | biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimebranosus = HAMSTRINGS |
| BTM =? | Biceps Femoris, SemiTendinosus & SemiMembranosus - hamstrings |
| when person can not touch their toes while extended knees, which muscle is shortened? | hamstrings |
| in which possition do you palpate biceps femoris | prone, w arm of table |
| biceps femoris -landmarks for palpating | Ischial tuberosity |
| biceps femoris - where do you palpate | hand on middle, posterior thigh, ask for FL of knee (hold leg above table) |
| biceps femoris stretch | max EX of Knee, while FL, Int.Rot. & slight ADD at hip |
| Location of semiMembranosus | deep to semiTendinosus, hard to PP |
| hamstrings - which is most superficial tendon | semiTendinosus |
| semi's O | ischial tuberosity |
| semiMembranosus Ins | post. med. tibial condyle |
| semiTendinosus Ins | Anter. Proxim. tibial shaft |
| semi's A | EX of Hip; Fl & Med.Rot of Knee |
| semi's N | Sciatic N -tibial division L5,S1-2 |
| semi's palpation position | prone, hand on middle thigh, askFL knee - hold foot above table |
| semi's palpation ladmarks | isch. tuberosity, tendons at medial knee |
| semi's Stretch | Prone, max Ex of knee, while FL, slight AB & Ext.Rot at hip |
| longest M in body | sartorius |
| most superficial M of thigh | sartorius |
| forms Lat. border of Femoral triangle | sartorius |
| sartorius - origin of name | latin "sartor" = sailor |
| bring leg into cross-legged sitting position | sartorius |
| sartorius O | ASIS |
| sartorius I | upper medial shaft of tibia |
| sartorius A - knee | assists - Fl & Med Rot |
| sartorius A - Hip | assists - FL, AB & LAt.Rot |
| sartorius N | Femoral N L2-4 |
| most superficial & medial Adductor | gracilis |
| which M forms "V" shape with femoral shaft | gracilis |
| gracilis O | Inferior ramus of Ant. Pubis |
| gracilis I | Medial proximal tibia |
| gracilis A - hip | ADD |
| gracilis A - knee | FL & Med.Rot of Flexed Knee |
| gracilis N | Obturator N L2-4 |
| gracilis palpation position | supine, slight FL & Lat.Rot at hip |
| name origin from Greek "Belly" | Gastrocnemius |
| this M can act on knee, ankle Only separately | gastrocnemius |
| rises Heel during runnig & jumping | gastrocnemius |
| gastrocnemius O | 2 heads, Medial -Medial epicondyle of Femur; Lateral H. - Lat. Epicondyl of Femur |
| gastrocnemius I | calcaneus via tendo Achilles |
| gastrocnemius A -knee | assists- Fl of knee |
| gastrocnemius A - ankle | plantar FL |
| gastrocnemius N | tibial N S1-2 |
| gastrocnemius Palp. position | Standing, w support of chair |
| which M is stretched by "wall push-up" ? | Gastrocnemius & Plantaris |
| this M lies between Soleus & gastrocnemius | plantaris |
| lower extremity counterpart M to palmaris longus is? | plantaris |
| which M may be missing in some PPL? | plantaris |
| plantaris O | Lat. epicondyle of femur |
| plantaris I | calcaneus via tendo Achilles |
| plantaris A - knee | ASS FL of knee |
| plantaris A - ankle | Ass Plantar FL |
| plantaris N | tibial N L4,5 S1 |
| plantaris Palp. position | prone w flexed knee |
| "key that unlocks the knee" | popliteus |
| deepest M of back of Knee | popliteus |
| this M lies under gastrocnemius & Plantaris | popliteus |
| this M has diagonal fibers, is small & DEEP | popliteus |
| popliteus O | Lat. epicondyle of Femur |
| popliteus I | calcaneus via tendo Achilles |
| popliteus A | initiates Fl of Knee by Med. Rot(=unlocking) - of tibia |
| popliteus N | tibial N L5, S1 |
| popliteus palp. position | prone w flexed knee |
| popliteus Stretch | passive max. Ext.Rot of knee with FL to 20-30 deg. angle |
| FL of knee Muscles | Biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimebranosus, sartorius, gracilis, plantaris, gastrocnemius, popliteus |
