MOUVEMENT ANORMAL [3 records]

Record 1 2013-08-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
CONT

Dynamic stabilizers of the patella also control tibial rotation and patellar gliding. Thus, weakness or insufficiency of the VMO [vastus medialis obliquus] in participants with PFPS [patellofemoral pain syndrome] may contribute to abnormal lateral movement of the patella. This abnormal lateral movement may, as a compensatory mechanism, increase knee valgus and hip internal rotation and decrease knee flexion, which could influence the performance in the anterior directions of the SEBT [Star Excursion Balance Test] among those with PFPS.

CONT

A rollover anticline is directly the result of faulting. The idea is that an extensional fault ... can form with a non-smooth shape ... New sediments are deposited on the downthrown block as the fault moves. They are originally deposited as flat-lying units (zero dip). As they displace downwards, they maintain a constant angle of inclination relative to the fault dip. If the fault surface becomes less steep ... with depth, the beds become increasingly tilted (to keep the same angle between fault surface and bedding surface). ... The tilting produced by the fault ... causes the beds to dip in the opposite direction ... towards the basin margin. The reversal of dip makes an anticline.

CONT

rollover: The down-warping of the hanging wall block along a lystric fault, which occurs when a space opens next to the fault. The resulting structure is usually called a "rollover anticline."

CONT

Some petroleum traps ... form in "roll-over" anticlines on the down-faulted block.
