36. Similar to the ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder, this joint enjoys the entire free range
of movements that the shoulder does.
A. Acetabular femoral joint
B. Sacroiliac joint
C. Glenohumeral joint
D. Acetabulum
The difference between the two joints is that the distal end of the lower extremity is
constantly concussing with the ground or floor, whereas the upper extremity often has an open
kinetic chain.

A. knee flexion.
B. extension.
C. adduction.
D. bent knee hip flexion.
A weak and contracted psoas will distort gait by shortening stride, and it can cause the
quadratus lumborum to spasm as it tries to resist the pull on the lumbar spine.

knee-tracking issues and Osgood-Schlatter disease.
A. Rectus femoris
B. Tensor fascia latae
C. Sartorius
D. Gluteus maximus
This muscle is an important "guide" for the patella; as it contracts, it pulls this bone along the
trochlear groove of the femur. Rolling, elliptical movement, compression, and broadening are
useful techniques for unwinding the quadriceps.

43. To strengthen the gluteus maximus, what movement needs to occur?
A. Adduction
B. Extension
C. Abduction
D. Flexion
This muscle is most emphasized when the hip starts from a flexed position and moves to full
extension and abduction, with the knee flexed 30 degrees or more to reduce the hamstrings'
involvement in the action.

With this weakness, the individual's opposite pelvis will drop on weight bearing because the
hip abductors cannot maintain proper alignment.
