Peds Biomechanical Practical 1. Limb Length a. Hips extended and flexed (sitting) b. Pelvis on frontal plane c.

True- ASIS to Medial Malleolus d. Functional- umbilicus to medial malleolus 2. Hip ROM a. Rotate the knees with the pelvis on the frontal plane 3. Femoral torsion (Ryders) 4. Knee position/motion a. Frontal plane position- no deviation (+/- 2cm) b. Sagittal plane position- no deviation (+/- 2cm) c. Transverse plane position- no deviation (+/- 2cm) 5. Tibial torsion a. Normal malleolar tosion= 12-18 degrees external 6. Tibial varum a. Lower 1/3 leg bisection compared to sagittal plane 7. Ankle DF a. Measure angle btw lower 1/3 of leg and lateral surface of foot with STJ neutral b. Normal ~10 degrees DF 8. STJ ROM a. Neutral: bisection of lower 1/3 of leg creates an angle of 0-4 degrees with the bisection of the posterior surface of the calcaneus 9. FF to RF relationship a. Transverse plane- of lesser met heads (2-4) should be perpendicular to calcaneal bisection with STJ neutral and MTJ pronated maximally 10. RCSP- angle base of gait= posterior calcaneus to the sagittal plane a. NCSP- neutral position, position of calcaneus to sagittal plane
