Chapter 10, Problem 1CCS
45-Year-Old Female with Motor Nerve Damage
In Chapters 7 and 8, you met Kayla Tanner, who suffered a dislocated right hip in a car accident. Six weeks later, Mrs. Tanner was still unable to walk or run without hip pain, and had weakness in flexion at the knee, excessive foot inversion and plantar flexion, and significant “foot drop” (the inability to dorsiflex the foot).
Electromyography (measurement of muscle electrical activity) and nerve conduction studies (measurement of the speed of nerve impulses) revealed sciatic nerve damage, most likely a result of the nerve being compressed when the hip was dislocated. This large nerve innervates many lower limb muscles. Since her surgery, Mrs. Tanner has been undergoing intense physical therapy and has shown significant improvement.
1. During her initial visit, the physical therapist focused on the prime movers and synergists of the hip, knee, and ankle. What are "prime movers" and "synergists”?

Students have asked these similar questions
is patellafemoral pain syndrome a arthogenic or myogenic condition and how can you distinguish it from other conditions
For this set of questions you will need to stand up from the chair you are sitting in,
and then sit back down. Do this slowly so that you can pay attention to what is
happening, and if necessary feel the tone of the muscles in your legs as your
standing and sitting (If you are lying down or standing start from a seated position,
then stand, then sit).
a) During the standing phase, what function is being carried out at the hip joint?
b) What are the prime movers (agonists) that are responsible for this particular
movement (Hint: You should be able to feel them activated)?
c) During the standing phase, what function is being carried out at the knee joint?
d) What are the prime movers (agonists) that are responsible for this particular
movement (Hint: You should be able to feel them activated)?
e) As you sit back down, you realize that some of the same muscles activated during
standing are also active when going from standing to sitting. Explain?
bular ligamen
A 68-year-old woman comes to the emergency department due to pain in the left uppe
arm after a fall from standing height. Medical history is significant for hypothyroidism
and hypertension. Physical examination shows bruising of the shoulder. Left arm
movement is limited due to pain. Plain radiographs reveal a nondisplaced left hume
fracture at the anatomical neck. This patient is at greatest risk for which of the
following complications?
A. Biceps tendon rupture
B. Brachial artery tear
C. Humeral head necrosis
D. Median nerve injury
E. Radial nerve palsy

- A 20-year-old man complained that he was unable to raise his right upper limb. He held it limply at his side with his forearm and hand pronated. During questioning by the physician, he stated that he had been thrown from his motorcycle approximately 2 weeks previously and that he had hit his shoulder against a tree. He also recalled that his neck felt sore shortly after the accident. Physical Examination: On examination it was found that the patient was unable to flex, abduct, or laterally rotate his arm. In addition, he lost flexion of the elbow joint. A lack of sensation was detected on the lateral surface of his arm and forearm. The physician requested radiographs of the cervical and pectoral girdle regions. Radiology Report: No fractures are seen in the cervical region, pectoral girdle, and proximal part of the humerus.
