2 Hip Muscles and Movements The hip joint is a multi-axial ball-and-socket joint, and therefore, movements along perpendicular planes occur over a wide arch of motion, namely flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, medial and lateral rotation, and circumduction . Muscles surrounding the hip are divided into groups; each is mainly, but not only, responsible for a certain movement of the hip. The main hip flexor is the psoas muscle, helped by the iliacus, but also other muscles assist in hip flexion. Extension is mainly performed by the gluteus maximus. Adduction is mainly carried out by the adductor group of muscles, such as the adductor brevis, longus, and magnus. Hip abduction is mainly exerted by the gluteus medius and minimus. Medial …show more content…

This structure represents both the anterior and posterior columns of the acetabulum. The anterior column is much longer than the posterior one and extends from the anterior portion of the iliac crest superiorly all the way down to the Symphysis Pubis (SP), while the posterior column travels from the lowermost end of the ischium to meet with the posterior aspect of the anterior column just above its mid-point, almost at the level of the upper corner of the GSN, creating a 60° angle. The acetabulum is enclosed within this angle and the apex is filled with condense cortical bone forming the roof for the …show more content…

The iliac segment extends from the iliac crest superiorly to just above the acetabular margin. Its main features are the anterior pillar, ASIS and Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine (AIIS), which is very close to the superior margin of the acetabulum. The acetabular segment forms the anterior articular surface of the acetabulum, part of the anterior wall of the acetabulum, and the anterior portion of the quadrilateral plate of the acetabulum. The pubic segment constitutes the anteriormost, and slimmest portion of the anterior column, and consists of the superior pubic ramus forming the roof to the obturator foramen. The iliopectineal line is a fundamental structure of the anterior column providing support to the anterio-superior aspect of the acetabulum and is the main guide for evaluating the continuity of the anterior column. Fractures of this line usually indicate fractures of the anterior column. Both columns are connected to the auricular surface of the Sacro-iliac (SI) joint by the sciatic

Lying sideways with the injured leg straightened on the floor, he should cross the uninjured leg in front of the injured one. This will force the injured leg to extend and bear weight. The gluteus maximus’ action is extension, external rotation, and hip abduction. The origin is at the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, the insertion is at the lateral surface of the greater trochanter, and it is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve. Lying on the side of the uninjured leg

The experiment tested 3 muscle stimulations. The gastrocnemius contraction was executed at 5, 15, 30, and 45 degrees of ankle flexion and the ankle was positioned at either neutral, 10 degrees of dorsiflexion, or 20 degrees of plantar flexion. The quadriceps and gastrocnemius co-contraction, and hamstring and gastrocnemius

This joint lies beneath the talus, where the posterior calcaneal facet on the talus articulates with the posterior facet on the superior aspect of the calcaneus. The Subtalar joint is a gliding joint, with the 2 bones held together by an articular capsule and by anterior, posterior, lateral, medial, and interosseus talocalcaneal ligaments. Subtalar inversion and eversion occur at this articulation. (6) The relation of the tibia, fibula, and talus is maintained by an articular capsule and 3 groups of ligaments (medial, lateral, and syndesmosis).

It runs level in a horizontal line and attaches to the posterolateral aspect of the talus bone. In plantar flexion and in the neutral lower leg position, the ligament is slackened, whereas in dorsiflexion, the ligament is taut. The ligament has multiple facets therefore it does not attach to a single restricted area. The fibers of the posterior talofibular ligament attach onto the posterior aspect of the talus, on the lateral talar process or onto the os trigonum if it is existent in the individual. Several of these fibers may be part of the formation of the tunnel for the flexor hallucis longus tendon.

INTRODUCTION: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is an ossification of the vertebral body's anterior and lateral side (1,2). This is a rare entity and also known as Forestier’s disease, rarely associated with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and obesity and occurs mostly in the fifth and sixth decade of life and in males (3). The osteophytes are usually seen in the thoracic, lumbar and cervical vertebrae (97%, 90%, 78%) (4). Most of patients are asymptomatic, dysphagia is the most common symptom due to compression of esophageus by anterior osteophytes at the level of C4-5.

The musculoskeletal system is composed of muscles, bones, joints. Joint composed of muscles, tendons, bursae, etc., so it will produce and facilitate movement of mechanical forces acting around the fulcrum (the joint) to perform the desired motion. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint. Hip joint is capable of complex motions (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation).

Plastron – *The plastron or ventral shield is composed of nine bony pieces, of which eight are paired. * The anterior pairs of bones are the episternals, the middle pairs are the hyosternals and hyposternals, and the hinder pairs are the xiphisternals. The unpaired piece is called entosternal. *

Cortical bones, also known as compact bones, form the hard-external layer of all bones that helps protect and strengthen the medullary cavity, which is filled with bone marrow. Within the cortical bones are lamellae called osteons. Osteons are aligned in the same direction along lines of stress, which hold the bone’s blood vessels and nerve fibers. These bones primarily help to resist bending and fracturing. Trabecular bones, also known as spongy bones, form the inner layer of all bones that helps to reduce the density of bones allowing the ends of long bones to compress when subject to stress.

Anatomy of the hamstrings: The hamstrings are made up of three separate muscles; the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and the semimembranosus. These muscles work together to extend the hip and also to flex the knee. When running the hamstrings slow down the leg at the end of its forward stroke and prevent the trunk form flexing at the hip joint.

The distal phalanges on their palmar surface are flat, small and with a roughened, elevated surface of horseshoe, supporting the digital pulp. The tips of these phalanges, called apical tuffs, are flat and wide. The thumb gives an insertion for the flexor pollicis longus or FPL, ungual fossa, and a pair of ungual spines. The assymmetrical feature of the FPL make sure that the thumb pulp is always facing the pulps of the other digits, which provides the optimum contact surface with held
