What is the implication of the migrating axis of rotation in most joints?
What is the implication of the migrating axis of rotation in most joints?
- It leads to a fixed axis of rotation in the knee
- It alters moment arm length of flexor and extensor muscles (correct)
- It causes skin abrasion in external devices
- It results in loss of mechanical advantage of patella
Why do axes move posteriorly with flexion in the knee?
Why do axes move posteriorly with flexion in the knee?
- To prevent skin abrasion in external devices
- To compensate for loss of mechanical advantage of patella (correct)
- To align with the lateral epicondyle of femur
- To maintain a fixed axis of rotation
What may cause skin abrasion in devices like goniometer or hinged knee orthosis?
What may cause skin abrasion in devices like goniometer or hinged knee orthosis?
- Alignment with the lateral epicondyle of femur
- Loss of mechanical advantage of patella
- Unmatching fixed axis of rotation (correct)
- Migrating axis of rotation
