Ratio between the diameter of the acetabulum and depth is lowest when?
- A.
At birth
- B.
Puberity
- C.
After skeletal maturity (early-mid 20s)
- D.
After age 40
- E.
After age 65
Correct Answer
A. At birthExplanation
The ratio between the diameter of the acetabulum and depth is lowest at birth. This is because the acetabulum, which is the socket of the hip joint, is relatively shallow in newborns compared to adults. As a person grows and develops, the acetabulum deepens and becomes more proportionate to the diameter, reaching its maximum depth in early-mid 20s. After that, the depth of the acetabulum may decrease slightly with age, but it remains relatively stable until around age 40 when degenerative changes may occur. Therefore, the ratio is lowest at birth when the acetabulum is shallowest.Rate this question:

Weak hip flexors cause:
- A.
Decreased hip extension
- B.
Decreased hip flexion
- C.
Decreased hip abduction
- D.
Decreased hip adduction
- E.
Decreased hip rotation
Correct Answer
B. Decreased hip flexionExplanation
Weak hip flexors can lead to decreased hip flexion, which refers to the movement of bringing the thigh towards the abdomen. Hip flexors are responsible for initiating this movement, and if they are weak, it can result in limited range of motion and difficulty in performing activities that require lifting the leg or bending at the hip joint. This can affect various daily activities such as walking, running, and climbing stairs. Therefore, decreased hip flexion is a common consequence of weak hip flexors.Rate this question:

Increased tightness in hip flexors cause:
- A.
Decrease hip flexion
- B.
Decrease hip extension
- C.
Anterior pelvic tilt in standing, causing lumbar lordosis
- D.
Posterior pelvic tilt in standing, causing lumbar kyphodosis
- E.
Hanging on the ligament
Correct Answer(s)
B. Decrease hip extension
C. Anterior pelvic tilt in standing, causing lumbar lordosisExplanation
Increased tightness in the hip flexors can lead to a decrease in hip extension. This is because tight hip flexors restrict the movement of the hip joint, making it difficult to fully extend the leg backwards. Additionally, tight hip flexors can cause an anterior pelvic tilt in standing, which refers to the pelvis tilting forward and causing an increased curvature in the lower back known as lumbar lordosis. This is because the tight hip flexors pull the pelvis forward, causing an exaggerated arch in the lower back.Rate this question:

The weakness of hip extensors causes:
- A.
Decreased hip extension
- B.
Decreased hip flexion
- C.
Lurch when wallking
- D.
Lumbar lordosis
- E.
Lumbar kyphodosis
Correct Answer(s)
A. Decreased hip extension
C. Lurch when wallkingExplanation
The weakness of hip extensors can lead to decreased hip extension, which means that the ability to move the hip joint backward is reduced. This can result in difficulties in activities such as walking, as the hip extensors play a crucial role in propelling the body forward during the gait cycle. The lurching motion observed during walking can be attributed to the weakened hip extensors' inability to properly extend the hip joint.Rate this question:

The tightness of hip extensors causes:
- A.
Decreaed hip extension
- B.
Decreased hip flexion
- C.
Decreased external rotation
- D.
Decreased internal rotation
- E.
Lower back pain
Correct Answer(s)
B. Decreased hip flexion
D. Decreased internal rotation
E. Lower back painExplanation
Tightness in the hip extensors can lead to decreased hip flexion, decreased internal rotation, and lower back pain. When the hip extensors are tight, they can limit the range of motion in the hip joint, making it difficult to bring the knee towards the chest (hip flexion) and rotate the hip inward (internal rotation). This can result in compensatory movements and increased stress on the lower back, leading to pain.Rate this question:

The weakness of hip abductors causes:
- A.
Decreased abduction
- B.
Decreased adduction
- C.
Instability during single leg stance
- D.
Glut medius limp
- E.
Lumbar lordosis
Correct Answer(s)
A. Decreased abduction
C. Instability during single leg stance
D. Glut medius limpExplanation
The weakness of hip abductors can result in decreased abduction, as these muscles are responsible for moving the leg away from the midline of the body. This weakness can also lead to instability during single leg stance, as the hip abductors help to stabilize the pelvis and maintain balance during this activity. Additionally, a weak hip abductor, specifically the gluteus medius muscle, can cause a limp or a characteristic gait pattern known as a "glute medius limp." However, there is no direct relationship between hip abductor weakness and decreased adduction or lumbar lordosis.Rate this question:

Tightness in hip abduction causes:
- A.
Decreased hip abduction
- B.
Decreased hip adduction
- C.
Pelvic drop during standing
- D.
Glut medius limp
- E.
Low back pain
Correct Answer(s)
B. Decreased hip adduction
C. Pelvic drop during standingExplanation
Tightness in hip abduction causes decreased hip adduction and pelvic drop during standing. When the hip abductors are tight, it limits the range of motion in hip adduction, making it difficult to bring the leg back towards the midline of the body. This can lead to a pelvic drop during standing, as the body compensates for the limited range of motion by tilting the pelvis to the side. This imbalance and compensatory movement can contribute to low back pain and a limp in the glut medius muscle.Rate this question:
