A bundle of muscle fibers is called a:

32. This joint couples axial rotations of the lower leg with hindfoot motion:

43. While positioned in standing, in which direction does the body’s Center of Mass move when the right arm is elevated into 90° of shoulder flexion?

41. Expected muscle actions at the hip during the stance phase of gait would include:

34. In 1-MTP joint motion during gait, the relationship between the hallux and first ray is described as dorsiflexes (1 degree/2 degrees) for every (1 degree/2 degrees) that the first ray plantar flexes.

57. The subtalar joint (STJ) axis of rotation is oriented obliquely such that motion about the axis is triplanar in nature. Which of the following correctly describes the triplanar motion associated with non-weight bearing STJ pronation? 

12. Which of the following answers correctly identifies discussed biomechanical abnormalities that contribute to changes in patellofemoral joint stress and may contribute to patellofemoral joint dysfunction/pain?

35. Which of the following leg/foot kinematics does not occur during early stance (Heel Strike to Midstance) of gait?

27. Weightbearing pronation at the subtalar joint (STJ) involves:

Pictured below are the moment-time (top) and power-time (bottom) curves for the knee during gait. Use the following figure to answer questions 29-30.
