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
