|
What prevents the trunk from falling into Hyperextension?
|
Iliofemoral Ligament
Iliopsoas |
|
Quiet Upright Posture and Knee Joint Locking/Unlocking
|
Locks via MEDIAL Rotation of Femur on Tibia
Unlocks via Popliteus Muscle causing LATERAL Rotation of Femur on Tibia |
|
What prevents Dorsiflexion of Ankle during Quiet, Upright Posture?
|
Soleus Muscle!
Some people use Gastrocnemius which also prevents HYPEREXTENSION of Knee |
|
Muscle Function during Walking
|
Function more to Control Effects of Gravity and Momentum RATHER THAN to Propel Body Forward
How? Muscle's ability to RESIST Lengthening (Isometric Contraction) RATHER THAN Active Contraction (Isotonic Contraction) |
|
Muscles Involved in GAIT
|
Phase 1: Swing Initiation
-Iliopsoas - Early Swing/Late Stance Phase 2: Swing -Hamstring - Just prior to Heel Strike through a short time after (prevents HYPEREXTENSION on contact) -Hamstring + Gluteus Maximus - Prevent Trunk from Jack-Knifing -Sartorius - Flexes Knee at Toe-off and well into swing phase Phase 3: Stance -Quadriceps - Early stance just after heel-strike - Prevents knee from collapsing into Flexion Phase 4: Toe Off -Triceps Surae (Gastrocnemius + Soleus) - Latter Half of Stance - Prevents collapse of Ankle into Dorsiflexion |
|
Which flexor of knee is NOT used during Swing Phase of walking?
|
Gastrocnemius!
Why? Also Plantar Flexes Foot, which is bad while walking! |
|
Ankle Inversion caused by Toe-Out Walking is resisted by what?
|
Fibularis Longus and Brevis!
|
|
Gluteus Muscles and GAIT
|
Gluteus Medius/Minimus - Prevent dipping of Pelvis on Swing Side during Stance Phase - Acts on Stance Side!
Gluteus Maximus - Fairly Silent in GAIT |
|
Trendelenburg Sign
|
When standing on one leg, opposite side sags downward --> indicates weakened or non functional Gluteus Medius on Supported Side
|
|
High Stepping or Steppage Gait
|
Injury to Deep Fibular Nerve of Anterior Compartment of Leg = Loss of Dorsiflexion of Foot
Compensation: Patient picks limb up higher than normal via excessive flexion of hip Stance Phase Begins with Foot Landing Flat, NOT Heel Strike |
|
Splanchnic (Sympathetic Ganglia -->White Rami Communicantes-->Symathetic Trunk--> Splanchnics) Nerves Formed From (4):
|
T5-9 = Greater Thoracic Splanchnic
T10-11 = Lesser Thoracic Splanchnic T12 = Least Thoracic Splanchnic L1-2 = Lumbar Splanchnic |
|
POST-SYNAPTIC SYMPATHETIC NERVE Plexuses of Abdomen/Pelvis and General Innervations (8):
|
College Students Rent Apartments In Student Heavy Populations
C = Celiac Plexus - Foregut S = Superior Mesenteric Plexus - Midgut R = Renal Plexus - Kidney A = Aortic Plexus - Between SMA/IMA I = Inferior Mesenteric Plexus - Hindgut S = Superior Hypogastric Plexus - Continuation of Aortic Plexus TO Pelvic Brim H = Hypogastric Plexus - Continuation of Superior Hypo AROUND Rectum INTO Pelvis P = Pelvic AKA Inferior Hypogastric Plexus - Pelvic Organs |
|
What region of abdomen and or pelvis is innervated by PARASYMPATHETICS?
|
Vagus
________ 1) FOREGUT Organs 2) MIDGUT Organs Sacral (S2,3,4) ______________ 3) Hindgut 4) Pelvic Organs |
|
What Ganglia(s) do PARASYMPATHETIC Fibers Pass THROUGH?
|
1) Celiac Ganglion
2) Superior Mesenteric Ganglion 3) Aorticorenal Ganglion Do NOT Synapse though! |
|
Splanchnic Nerves are ALWAYS _______, but EITHER ________ OR ____________.
|
Presynaptic
Sympathetic Parasympathetic |
|
What Nerve Plexuses are a MIX of both Presynaptic PARA Parasympathetic and POST-Synaptic Sympathetic Fibers?
|
1) Celiac
2) Superior Mesenteric 3) Inferior Hypogastric (AKA Pelvic) |
|
Visceral Pain Sensation Confusion w/ Somatic Pain Sensation
|
Visceral Afferent Fibers Return to the SAME Spinal Cord Levels from which their SYMPATHETIC Innervation Arose
Problem? So do the SOMATIC Pain Afferent Fibers! Visceral/Somatic Afferent Pain Fibers probably synapse on the SAME INTERNEURON for Conscious Pain Sensation. Result: Pain Sensation ARISING from an Internal organ is PERCEIVED as coming from Skin/Muscle Why Somatic? There is Good Cerebral Cortex Representation for Somatic Areas (better than Visceral) AND Somatic Pain is BETTER Localized |

Referred Pain:
1) Appendix 2) Gall Bladder 3) Pancreas 4) Diaphragm 5) Stomach |
1) Epigastric or Paraumbilical Region
2) Ribs 6-9 and THEN Inferior Angle of Scapula on RIGHT Side 3) Upper Abdomen and/or Back at T10-L2 4) Referred to Shoulder Region 5) Epigastric Region |
|
General Pathways for:
1) Visceral Pain 2) Vague Sensations of Distention and Nausea |
1) Sympathetics
2) Parasympathetics |
|
Blood Supply of Regions of Stomach:
1) Cardiac 2) Fundus |
Cardiac = Left Gastric Artery
Fundus = Short Gastric Arteries |
