DeWitt hip/knee test

Which of the following is not correct regarding menisci in the knee joint?

Decreases stability

the tibialcollateral ligament is also called the

MCL

The central line of pull the quadriceps have on the patella is known as the:

Qangle

In looking at the Jump Landing Program, Phase 1 of the program begins with:

Technique and general strength

gluteus maximus

extension of the hip aids in standing from the seated position

medial menisci

medial is larger and shaped like a C

muscles that flex the knee include all except

tensor fascia latea

the anatomical landmark where the patellar ligament inserts on the tibia is known as the:

tibial tuberosity

it is common to only see the medial meniscus injured and not the lateral (T/F)

true

More than ___ bursae are found around the knee

10

valgus stress

Force applied to lateral side

The inability for female athletes to correctly attenuate high jump landing impact forces through muscle contraction has been linked to:

Incorrect landing techniques Poor ankle stability Lack of balance Insufficient strength

the ligament that supports the knee during valves stress is called the:

MCL

When implementing any type of jump-landing training, it is imperative that the strength and conditioning professional emphasizes:

Proper technique

Phase 1 of the program begins with:

Technique and general strength

the patella has a line of pull from the hip (ASIS) to its center. this line is called the:

The Q angle

The muscle responsible for the last 15-20 degrees of full knee extension

Vastus medialis (VMO)

bearus stress

forces applied to medial side

the cartilage in the hip

labrum

the special test used to detect ACL laxity (an end point) where the knee is kept at 15-20 degrees of knee flexion is known as:

lockmans test

4 phases of developing a strength program

1- technique and general strength 2- eccentric strength and stability 3- stretch-shorten cycle 4- sport specific

more than ____ ligaments in the knee

4

Which of the following is true regarding the medial collateral ligament?

Maintains medial stability by resisting valgus forces or preventing knee from being abducted

The knee joint is the largest joint in the body

True

The lateral fibula serves as the attachment for knee joint structures but does not articulate with the femur or patella.

True

research shows that women are more likely to tear an ACL while they are on their menstrual cycle (T/F)

True

the hamstring muscle located on the lateral side:

biceps femoris

a condition where the underneath of the patella becomes frayed and worn out is known as:

chondromalacia

the role of the menisci is to

deepen tibial plateaus, thereby enhancing stability.

The most promising training components seem to be teaching fundamental exercise techniques and

increasing muscular strength with particular emphasis on the muscle the posterior chain improving balance and stability focusing on the ankle and hip joint landing principles with the appropriate feedback heightening neural drive and neuromuscular control through plyometric-type exercises

cartilage in the knee

menisci

the four quad muscles

rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius

when conducting a tuck jump assessment, you are actually looking at how much _____ stress can be detected as the patient lands

valgus

ACL tears are more common in men or women? Why?

women because there is a greater pull on the Patella

the insertion point for the iliotibial tract is called the:

gerdys tubercle

The _____menisci is "O" shaped and _____ the menisci is "C" shaped.

lateral, medial

the Q angle in males and females

males: 15 degrees or less females: 20 degrees or less

femoral condyles are larger on the

medial side

fat pad

pad of fat located around joints for protection and cushion can be pinched often an insertion point for synovial folds of tissue known as plica

the _____ is used as a pulley by creating an improved angle of pull on the knee

patella

the hamstring muscles located on the medial side:

semimembranous semitendonous

all of the following are key bony landmarks of the knee except

the gerdys condyle

the patella serves as a pulley by improving the angle of pull with the result being greater mechanical advantage for the quads during flexion (T/F)

true
