Exam 9: Pelvis and Hip

Medial rotation torque about the hip is greater when the hip is in a flexed position.

Frontal plane motion of the pelvis on the femur is best described as:

In a closed kinematic chain, the iliopsoas is capable of posteriorly tilting the pelvis.

By virtue of its location in relation to the axis of rotation, the greater trochanter decreases the internal moment or lever arm of the muscles that insert at this location.

The posterior landmark for the sacroiliac joint is the________.

In standing, forward rotation of the pelvis produces ________ of the weight-bearing hip.

This ligament limits medial rotation of the hip joint:

Tight hamstrings may cause the pelvis to assume an anteriorly titled position.

Of the following hip flexor muscles, which is considered to be the most significant contributor?

The pubic symphysis is classified as what type of joint?

During a supine straight leg raise, if the abdominals are too weak to provide proximal stabilization, the pelvis will have a tendency to tilt anteriorly.

Similar to the humeral head, the femoral head exhibits greater articular surface area compared with its corresponding socket.

There are ____ degrees of angular freedom at the hip joint.

Which bursae is most commonly irritated and hence encountered in a clinical setting?

Between the ages of 70 and 92, the largest decline in hip range of motion is noted with:

Each innominate is composed of how many bones?

The primary responsibility of the pelvic and hip region is _________ during ________ chain motions.

The angle of inclination is a _________ plane angle that normally measures _____ $\degree$ in the adult.

Of the following hip flexor muscles, which is not bi-articular?

The mechanical axis of the femur is represented by a line drawn through the femoral shaft.
