the largest sesamoid bone in the body is:

list 3 benefits of the anatomical design of the patella:

forces that are transmitted throught a joint's artiuclar surfaces is called:

list and describe the 3 facets of the patella:

describe the lateral and medial retinaculums:

a primary restraint against lateral patellar displacement, especially in the lateral inferior direction is the:

the patella's position through an arc of motion is maintained by:

a high-riding patella is called:

where is the position of the patella during the following:

flexion:
extension:

the primary muscle for pulling the patella laterally is the:

which muscle guides the patella medially and proximally, preventing lateral patellar subluxation:

lying deep at the distal end of the quadriceps femoris muscle group and allowing free movement over the distal femur is the:

overlying the anterior portion of the patella and allows the patella to move freely beneat the skin is the:

the distal portion of the patellar tendon and tibial tuberosity receives protection againse friction and blows by the:

located between the tendon and the tibia is the:

one of the 3 fat pads located in the anterior knee compartment, is intracapuslar, but extrasynovial is the:

during a fxnal assessment ask the patient to replicate the fxnal tasks that exacerbate the symptoms and observe for compensations in:

with the knee fully extended and the patient weight bearing, observe the patella for alignment.... describe the proper position:

a high riding patellae is called:

the potential causes are:

consequences:

a low riding patella is called:

the potential causes are:

consequences:

a patella positioned medially is called:

potential causes:

consequences:

a patella that is positioned high and as positioned laterally is called:

the potential causes:

consequences:

the high riding patella exposes the fat pad, forming a "double hump" called:

the relationship between the anterior superior iliac spine, midpoint of the patella, and the tibia tuberosity is called:

the relationship between the long axis of the patella and the tibial tuberosity is called the:

with the patient short sitting, the relationship between the tibial tuberosity and the inferior patellar pole is called:

as the knee moves from flexion into extension in AROM, the patella normally glides superiorly and tracks somewhat laterally creating the:

during flexion, the patella glides inferiorly and medially as it situates itself in the femoral trochlea creating the:

which muscles frequently implicate patellofemoral pathologies during a MMT:

which of the following patella malalignments results in decreased patellar glide and decreased tibiofemoral ROM?

A. patella alta
B. "frog eyed" patella
C. squinting patella
D. patella baja

this chapter organized patellofemoral injuries based on their onset and stability of the patella within the femoral groove... which injuries fall into the followin categories:

traumatic injuries:
patellofemoral pain with malalignment:
patellofemoral instability:
patellofemoral pain without malalignment:

how should patellar alignment be inspected:

is patellar maltracking observed during closed chain activities or open chain motions?

following knee surgery, such as ACL reconstruction, which 2 things should be emphasized in recovery to keep from changing the normal patellofemoral kinematics:

what position should the knee be in to palpate the medial joint line:

what is the big indentation on the joint line called:

how much medial and lateral glide constitue excessive motion of the patella?

the softening and subsequent erosion the the patella's hyaline cartilage is called:

in the patellas resting position within the femoral trochlea, does the medial or lateral border of the trochlea extend further anteriorly?

what is the anatomical signifiance of this orientation?

which of the retinaculums would most likely be damaged with a dislocated patella?
