Anatomical Kinesiology Review (Hip, Knee, Ankle and Foot)

True or False: Medial collateral ligament sprains are often associated with valgus stresses and may also compromise the lateral meniscus

False

True or False: The gastrocnemius receives its innervation from the tibial division of the posterior femoral nerve

False

True or False: The medial and lateral hamstrings produce the same agonistic action for tibial rotation

False

The hamstrings are responsible for what action(s)?

Knee flexion and hip extension

Which of the following muscle(s) utilize the malleoli as pulleys? - Extensor digitorum longus - Extensor hallucis longus - Tibialis anterior - All of the above - None of the above

None of the above

Which of the following is not a part of the unhappy triad?

PCL - posterior cruciate ligament

Which of the following muscles have insecurities on the base of the 5th metatarsal?

Peroneus brevis and peroneus tertius

Which of the following is not considered a plantarflexion?

Peroneus tertius

Which of the following does not describe an arch pattern?

Pes tarsoplanus

Compartment syndrome occurs most often in which compartment?

The anterior compartment

Which of the following bones bares most of the weight in the lower leg?

Tibia

What is considered plantarflexion?

Tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, and the soleus

True or False: A high ankle sprain is the result of a forced dorsiflexion plus eversion mechanism

True

True or False: A large Q-angle may predispose to higher risk of injury

True

True or False: A positive windless effect of a properly functioning plantar fascia, and results in an increased arch.

True

True or False: During normal walking, the majority of the gait cycle is spent in the stance phase

True

True or False: During the stance phase of gait, supination occurs during heel strike and toe-off

True

True or False: 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

Which of the following is not a key bony landmark of the knee? - Gerdys tubercle - Fibial tuberosity - Tibial tuberosity - Medial and lateral femoral condyles

fibial tuberosity

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

maintains lateral stability by resting varus forces

What is part of the unhappy triad?

medial meniscus, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL)

Which of the following is considered an agonist during knee extension?

rectus femoris
