The lower limb is designed for locomotion and is most adept for which of the following? A. superb dexterity B. manipulation C. mobility D. stability

The lower limb is designed for locomotion and is most adept for which of the following? C. mobility D. stability

The lower limb sacrifices mobility to gain the stability necessary to bear the body’s weight. Back to Board

In order for a person to lift their leg to get into a car, what action of the hip must be achieved? A. flexion B. extension C. rotation D. circumduction

In order for a person to lift their leg to get into a car, what action of the hip must be achieved? A. flexion C. rotation

Remember to flex your hip when you get into a car. Back to Board

As a person lifts his/her right foot to walk, the hip abductors on which side of the body stabilize the hip? A. right B. left C. left & right D. not listed

As a person lifts his/her right foot to walk, the hip abductors on which side of the body stabilize the hip? A. right B. left

When the right foot is raised, left hip abductors contract to prevent the pelvis from tipping down to the unsupported side. Back to Board

If a person laterally rotates their left hip, in what direction (relative to the body’s midline) will the left big toe move? A. away from midline B. toward midline C. no change from midline D. along midline

If a person laterally rotates their left hip, in what direction (relative to the body’s midline) will the left big toe move? A. away from midline B. toward midline

Lateral rotation of the hip moves the big toe away from midline. Back to Board

All of the muscles that move thigh are responsible for what action? A. abduction B. adduction C. circumduction D. flexion

All of the muscles that move thigh are responsible for what action? B. adduction C. circumduction

All muscles that move thigh are used during circumduction. Back to Board

Where does leg flexion and extension occur? A. hip B. knee C. ankle D. waist

Where does leg flexion and extension occur? A. hip B. knee

The leg extends from knee to ankle, so flexion and extension of the leg occurs at the knee. Back to Board

For a child that has “bowed-legs”, which ligaments on both knees are under the most physical stress? A. anterior cruciate B. posterior cruciate C. medial collateral D. lateral collateral

For a child that has “bowed-legs”, which ligaments on both knees are under the most physical stress? A. anterior cruciate D. lateral collateral

In genu valgus or bow-legs, the lateral collateral ligaments are most stretched. Back to Board

When one presses the gas pedal in a car, what movement of the foot is taking place? A. dorsiflexion B. plantarflexion C. pronation D. supination

When one presses the gas pedal in a car, what movement of the foot is taking place? A. dorsiflexion B. plantarflexion

Plantarflexion points the toe, while dorsiflexion brings the top of the foot, or dorsum, up toward the anterior surface of the leg. Back to Board

The sole of the foot moves toward the midline during what action of the ankle and foot? A. inversion B. eversion C. circumduction D. rotation

The sole of the foot moves toward the midline during what action of the ankle and foot? A. inversion B. eversion

Inversion brings the sole of the foot in to face medially; eversion moves the sole to face out laterally. Back to Board

Which of the following joints is NOT involved in the flexion and extension of the toes? A. metatarsophalangeal B. proximal interphalangeal C. distal interphalangeal D. tarsometatarsal

Which of the following joints is NOT involved in the flexion and extension of the toes? A. metatarsophalangeal D. tarsometatarsal

The tarsometatarsal joints provide very limited movement, and is not involved in toe flexion. Back to Board

When a runner wants to get a good jumpstart in a race, he or she depends on what action of the hallux to help him/her push off? A. flexion B. extension C. inversion D. eversion

When a runner wants to get a good jumpstart in a race, he or she depends on what action of the hallux to help him/her push off? A. flexion C. inversion

In pushing off, the big toe or hallux is flexed. Back to Board

Which toe serves as the point of reference when discussing the abduction and adduction of the toes? A. 1 st toe (hallux) B. 2 nd toe C. 3 rd toe D. 4 th toe
