Human Structure and Function Hip Test
Anterior pelvic rotation is anterior movement of the upper pelvis where the iliac crest tilts forward in the transverse plane.
False
Hip Flexion is movement of the femur straight posteriorly toward the pelvis
False
The Teres Ligament is located superficially and slightly limits adduction.
False
Which of the following is considered to be an agonist muscle during hip external rotation?
Gleteus maximus
Functions of the acetabular joint include weight bearing and locomotion.
True
The obturator nerve innervates both the adductor longus and gracilis muscles.
True
The sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus all insert just below the medial condyle on upper anteromedial tibial surface.
True
Which of the following is not an action of the pectineus muscle?
abduction of the hip
The origin of the rectus femoris muscle is the anterior inferior iliac spine and the groove (posterior) above the
acetabulum
Agonist muscles during hip flexion include all of the following except?
adductor magnus
The pectineus muscle is lovated___and performs___of the ip joint.
aneriorly, flexion
The iliopsoas muscle is located__and performs___ of the hip joint.
anteriorly,flexion
Due to the adductor brevis, adductor longus, and adductor magnus all inserting in various locations on the linea aspera, a resulting movement that is facilitated when adduction the hip is ____
external rotation
Any muscle that is agonistic in hip extension can also contract to cause anterior pelvic rotation.
false
The Tibial nerve innervates both the gracilis and biceps femoris muscles.
false
The acetabular femoral joint is reinforced by an extremely weak ligamentous capsule and the stability of this joint is attributed to the surrounding musculature.
false
The acetabulum inserts into the femoral head to form the acetabular femoral joint.
false
The semimembranosus inserts anteromedially on the medial tibial condyle.
false
The structural instability of the acetabular femoral joint makes this joint susceptible to subluxations and dislocations.
false
With the exception of the glenohumeral joint, the acetabulofemoral joint is the least mobile joint of the body.
false
If desiring to emphasize work on the gluteus maximus during resisted hip extension exercises, the knee should be placed in _____.
flexion
The Rectus femoris is more effective in hip flexion when the knee is in ____
flexion
The origin of the tensor fascia latae muscle is the anterior___and the surface of the ilium Just below the crest.
iliac crest
The insertion of the iliopsoas muscle is the pectineal line and the ___ eminence, lesser trochanter of the femur, and the shaft just below.
ilium
The gluteus medius muscle is located___and performs____of the hip joint.
laterally, abduction
The biceps femoris muscle is located ___ and performs___ of the hip joint
posteriorly,extension
Agonist muscles during hip extension include all of the following except the?
sartorious
Normally, the hip joint can be abducted to approximately 35 degrees.
true
The Tibial tuberosity serves as the insertion point for all of the quadriceps muscles.
true
The femoral nerve innervates essentially all of the hip flexor muscles
true
The iliofemoral or Y ligament is located posteriorly and prevents hyperextension.
true
The most palpable point of the femur at the hip is the greater trochanter.
true
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
The right and left pelvis are joined together by the sacrum at the right and left sacroiliac joints.
true
The three biarticular hamstring muscles are innervated the tibial division of the sciatic nerve.
true
The tibial nerve innervates both the semitendinosus and semimembranosus.
true
The two pelvic bones join to form the amphiarthrodial joint referred to as the symphysis pubis.
true
