Which muscle is not part of the quadriceps?

Biceps femoris

Which ligament is not found in the knee?

Deltoid ligament

T/F The medial malleolus is an anatomical landmark located on the fibula

False (tibia)

T/F The great toe has three phalanges

False (two)

Which bone does not help to create the acetabulum?

Femur

Which bones create the hinge portion of the knee?

Femur and tibia

In order to climb stairs, the hip and knee _____ to put a foot on a set

Flex

What are the motions of the hamstrings?

Flexion of the knee and extension of the hip

When people put their hands on their "hips", on what bony landmark are they resting their hands?

Iliac crest

What structures are damaged when an athlete has an "unhappy triad"?

MCL, medial meniscus, ACL

Which side of the ankle receives primary support from the deltoid ligament?

Medial

Which structures provide rotary stability in the knee?

The cruciate ligaments

Looking laterally at a standing athlete, the ASIS is higher than the PSIS. This means

The pelvic girdle is tilted posteriorly

These bones form the ankle joint

Tibia, fibula, talus

T/F The "screw home mechanism" is the rotation of the tibia to match the condyles of the femur when extending the knee prior to stepping forward

True

T/F The most common type of ankle sprain results from excessive inversion that causes damage to lateral structures

True

T/F The patella serves as a pulley by improving the angle of pull with the result being a greater mechanical advantage for the quadriceps during knee extension

True

T/F The shortening at both ends of a biarticulated muscle results in the muscle being actively insufficient

True

T/F The tibial tuberosity serves ad the insertion point for all the quadriceps muscles

True

When doing jumping jacks, what motion occurs at the hip during the first phase of the activity (legs move away from each other)?

abduction

The pubic symphysis is classified as what type of joint?

amphiarthrodial

Which ligament is overstretched or torn is a first degree ankle sprain?

anterior talofibular ligament

The anterior tibialis _____ and ______ the ankle/foot

dorsiflexes and inverts

The three peroneals are synergist with which ankle movement?

eversion

flexion

Due to the angle of inclination of the femur, someone with a measurement of 140* would have which of the following at the knees?

genu valgus (greater than normal)

Which muscle abducts the femur?

iliopsoas

When sitting in a chair, what bony landmark are the "sits bones"?

ischial tuberosity

The ______ and _______ create the MTP joints

metatarsals and phalanges

When the patella rides low in the intercondylar fossa of the femur, it is known as

patella baja (low)

Which of these is not one of the deep external rotators of the hip?

pectineus (hip flexion or adduction)

The term for high arches is

pes cavus

piriformis

When pressing the foot down on the gas pedal, the motion of the ankle is

plantar flexion

popliteus

Which muscle is responsible for "hiking" (lateral tilt) the pelvic girdle for going up stairs?

quadratus lumborum

The strongest plantar flexor of the ankle is the

soleus

In which of the following motions would the gluteus maximus most likely be active?

stair climbing

What muscle prevents the collapse of the knee in ambulation?

tensor fascia latae

People with tight iliotibial bands should consider stretching which two muscles?

tensor fascia latae and gluteus maximus

Which of the following is the angle of inclination in the femur?

the angle between the head/neck of the femur and the shaft of the femur

The bony landmark located distal to the patella is the
