When observing the interdependence of the leg and the foot in a weight bearing position; during the motion of knee extension when raising from a chair, you expect:

In a weight training machine for knee flexion (Moving from extension to flexion) The combined tibial rotation with flexion will be _______________.

A snowmobile driver left the trail and struck a tree. The driver’s left knee was flexed at approximately 90 degrees and the tibia was impacted anteriorly creating a vector force in a posterior direction (from anterior to posterior). What would this mechanism of injury MOST result in?

In a weight training machine for knee flexion (Moving from extension to flexion)     The menisci will move in a _______________ direction.

Which patterns of motions would be most limited if the coxo-femoral capsule is the main limiting structure?

During the motion of “nodding” while moving in flexion direction, at the atlantoaxial joint:

You observe a patients gait and a toe-out (externally rotated lower extremity) is apparent during the entire stance phase of gait. What could you suspect at the coxofemoral level?

A patient with neck pain brings you a picture of their workstation. You observe that the patient sits with a forward head position to maintain their eyes in line with the computer screen. What changes in the spine curvature do you expect to observe?

The effects of rotation of the knee on the menisci are dissimilar, thus their injury rate is different because:

A person is turning their head to the right to place their jacket on the right top shelf of a closet. What combined motions occur in the upper cervical spine:
