You had the cartilege in your knee repaired, in about 2 to 3 weeks depending on your rate of healing ( as soon as the incisions have healed )your doctor will send you to a physical therapist, by then you should already be getting stronger but the real progress will happen during the physical therapy.
What else can I help you with?
Is the Patellar reflex inhibited or enhanced by voluntary muscle activity in the quadriceps?
The patellar reflex is enhanced by voluntary muscle activity in the quadriceps. When you contract your quadriceps, it stretches the patellar tendon, causing a stronger reflex response when the knee is tapped.
What is the effector in the patellar reflexes?
The quadriceps femoris muscle.
What muscle is involved with the patellar reflex?
The quadriceps group of muscles. Rectus Femoris more specifically.
What are patellas?
The patellar tendon connects the quadriceps to the tibia bone.
What does the patellar reflex employ?
The patellar reflex employs the sensory and motor nerves in the leg that control the contraction of the quadriceps muscle in response to tapping the patellar tendon just below the knee cap.
How does the stretch reflex cause the quadriceps femoris muscle group to contract?
Tapping on the patellar tendon stretches receptors called the muscle spindles in the quadriceps muscle group of the anterior thigh. This stimulus evokes a rapid motor reflex to contract the quadriceps and shorten the muscles. This process is called the patellar reflex.
Point where the patellar ligament attaches?
The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia. It is the distal portion of the quadriceps tendon, which extends from the quadriceps muscle over the patella and then becomes the patellar ligament when it attaches to the tibial tuberosity.
Where are sensory stretch receptors of the withdrawal reflex located?
they are located in the limbs, because the limbs are the effectors of the withdrawal reflex.
What is the primary insertion of the quadriceps muscle?
These muscles all have a ligament of insertion which is called the patellar ligament. This ligament inserts to the tibial tuberosity.
The patellar reflex helps the body to maintain?
The patellar reflex helps the body maintain posture and balance by quickly contracting the quadriceps muscle in response to a tap on the patellar tendon. This reflex helps to prevent falls and maintains stability during sudden changes in position or movement.
What is the insertion of all the muscle of the quadriceps group?
These muscles all have a ligament of insertion which is called the patellar ligament. This ligament inserts to the tibial tuberosity.
What muscle tendons keep the patella in place?
The two tendons that are attached to the patella are: the quadriceps tendon, which attaches above, and the patellar tendon, which attaches on the bottom
