and is most adept for which of the

following?

C.

mobility

D.

stability

The lower limb is designed for locomotion

and is most adept for which of the

following?

Back to
Board

The lower limb sacrifices mobility to gain the

stability necessary to bear the body’s weight.

A.

flexion

C.

rotation

B.

extension

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

In order for a person to lift their leg to get

into a car, what action of the hip must be

achieved?

Back to
Board

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

A.

right

C.

left & right

B.

left

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

As a person lifts his/her right foot to walk,

the hip abductors on which side of the

body stabilize the hip?

Back to
Board

When the right foot is raised, left hip abductors

contract to prevent the pelvis from tipping

down to the unsupported side.

A.

away from midline

C.

no change from midline

B.

toward 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

If a person laterally rotates their left hip,

in what direction (relative to the body’s

midline) will the left big toe move?

Back to
Board

Lateral rotation of the hip moves the big toe

away from midline.

A.

abduction

C.

circumduction

B.

adduction

D.

flexion

All of the muscles that move the thigh are

responsible for what action?

C.

circumduction

B.

adduction

All of the muscles that move the thigh are

responsible for what action?

Back to
Board

All muscles that move the thigh are used during

circumduction.

A.

hip

C.

ankle

B.

knee

D.

waist

Where does leg flexion and extension

occur?

A.

hip

B.

knee

Where does leg flexion and extension

occur?

Back to
Board

The leg extends from knee to ankle, so flexion and

extension of the leg occurs at the knee.

A.

anterior cruciate

C.

medial collateral

B

.

posterior cruciate

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

For a child that has “bowed-legs”, which

ligaments on both knees are under the

most physical stress?

Back to
Board

In genu varus or bow-legs, the lateral collateral ligaments

are most stretched.

A.

dorsiflexion

C. pronation

B.

plantarflexion

D.

supination

When one presses the gas pedal in a

car, what movement of the foot is taking

place?

A.

dorsiflexion

B.

plantarflexion

When one presses the gas pedal in a

car, what movement of the foot is taking

place?

Back to
Board

Plantarflexion points the toe, while dorsiflexion brings the top

of the foot, or dorsum, up toward the anterior surface of the leg.

A.

inversion

C.

circumduction

B.

eversion

D.

rotation

The sole of the foot moves toward the

midline during what action of the ankle

and foot?

A.

inversion

B.

eversion

The sole of the foot moves toward the

midline during what action of the ankle

and foot?

Back to
Board

Inversion brings the sole of the foot in to face medially;

eversion moves the sole to face out laterally.

A.

metatarsophalangeal

C.

distal interphalangeal

B.

proximal

interphalangeal

D.

tarsometatarsal

Which of the following joints is NOT

involved in the flexion and extension of the

toes?

A.

metatarsophalangeal

D.

tarsometatarsal

Which of the following joints is NOT

involved in the flexion and extension of the

toes?

Back to
Board

The tarsometatarsal joints provide very limited

movement, and is not involved in toe flexion.

A.

flexion

C.

inversion

B.

extension

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

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?

Back to
Board

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

A.

toe

Which toe serves as the point of reference

when discussing the abduction and

adduction of the toes?

Back to
Board

In the foot, ab- and adduction occur in reference

to the 2nd toe.
