Study Notes
Muscle Groups for Hip Motion
- Two muscle groups involved: gluteal muscles and hamstrings.
- The gluteus maximus is the strongest and thickest in the hip region, aided by posterior fibers of the gluteus medius and minimus.
- Hamstrings' effectiveness in hip movement is dependent on knee position; knee locking enhances hip extension, acting against the quadriceps.
- The adductor magnus also functions as a hip extensor.
Hip Extensors and Their Actions
- Extensors vary in function based on their position relative to the anteroposterior axis.
- Above the axis: combined abduction and extension by posterior fibers of gluteal muscles.
- Below the axis: extension and adduction primarily by gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and posterior adductors.
- Hip extensors stabilize the pelvis in the anteroposterior direction.
Pelvic Tilt and Center of Gravity
- Retroversion of the pelvis moves the center of gravity (CG) behind the hip line, stabilized by the iliofemoral ligament.
- CG position over the hip center indicates unstable equilibrium; anterior pelvic tilt moves the CG forward, requiring contraction of hamstrings to realign the pelvis.
- Retroversion: ligament tension; Anterior version: muscle tension from the hamstrings.
Ligamentary Considerations in Hip Extension
- Extension wraps ligaments around the femoral neck, creating tension when the femur is stationary.
- Close-packed position reinforces stability through ligament tension.
Adduction Mechanics
- Adduction brings the lower limb inward towards the body's midline.
- Engaged muscles include pelvi-trochanteric groups and various adductors.
- Adduction causes tension in the horizontal ligament fibers, especially in iliofemoral and pubofemoral ligaments, while ischiofemoral is relaxed.
Internal Rotation (IR)
- Internal rotation shifts the foot outward with a range of 30 to 40 degrees, involving specific muscle groups like the anterior gluteal, sartorius, and tensor fascia latae (TFL).
- In moderate internal rotation, obturator externus and pectineus lose their external rotation capacity.
- Internal rotation leads to tension variations in ligaments around the hip joint.
Muscle Action Inversion
- Muscles have primary or secondary actions that change depending on joint position.
- Movements at the knee involve anterior and posterior drawer actions, limited by anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.
Physiological Movement Amplitudes
- Extension pulls the back of the leg away from the thigh by 5 to 10 degrees; no true absolute extension exists in anatomical position.
- Active extension depends on hip positioning; the rectus femoris is more effective during extension.
Knee Flexion Dynamics
- Knee flexion brings the leg closer to the thigh, dependent on hip position (flexed or extended).
- Absolute and relative flexion definitions varying based on the reference position.
Dorsiflexion and Plantarflexion
- Dorsiflexion reduces the angle between foot and shin; ranges from 70° to 80° of total flexion-extension.
- Factors limiting dorsiflexion include bony structures and capsular tension.
- Plantarflexion is the opposite movement, creating an angle between the foot and the leg.
Stability in the Subtalar Joint
- Articulation congruence in the subtalar joint is critical, with the neutral foot position providing stability against gravity.
- The alignment of the talus and calcaneus facilitates dynamic and static balance in standing positions.
