Hip dysplasia is an example of what kind of lower extremity/pelvis pathology?
Neuromuscular disorder
Congenital disorder
Trauma
Arthritis
As OTs, what can we NOT assess in the pelvis?
Tilt
Obliquity
Rotation
Bone density
Your new client complains that walking is way more tiring than it used to be. You test the function of her hip abductors by asking her to stand on her left leg. If she has a positive Tredelenberg Sign, her pelvis will tilt up on the side and down on the side.
Which structures give some element of rotation to the knee, making it an atypical hinge joint?
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
Medial collateral ligament (MCL)
Lateral meniscus
Medial meniscus
Arthritis in the knee may caused fixed flexion because it allows more space in the joint.
What is a functional consequence of surgically removing the patella?
Client will be unable to walk
Client will be unable to run
Client will need to expend more energy when climbing the stairs
Client will not be able to sleep on their side or stomach
How can you assess knee function?
Range of motion
Muscle strength
Gait
Ligamentous stability
All of the above
If your PT friend says that they're doing a McMurray Test with Mr. Klein, what structure are they assessing?
Menisicus of the knee
ACL
PCL
LCL/MCL
Range of Motion for flexion at the hip should be approximately 120 90 50 100( 120, 90, 50, 100 ) degrees
It is important to assess the alignment of the pelvis because misalignment puts strain on muscles and spine, affecting endurance, stability and pain levels.
