Title: Identify on a skeleton the bones and major bony landmarks of the lower extremity and pelvis.
Course: Physical/Occupational Therapy II (14060-II) > Section: Identifying Anatomy of the Lower Extremity

Identification could include

- pelvis/innominate bones
- ilium (i.e., iliac fossa, anterior superior iliac spine [ASIS], anterior inferior iliac spine [AIIS], posterior superior iliac spine [PSIS], and greater sciatic notch)
- ischium (i.e., lesser sciatic notch, ischial spine, ischial tuberosity, superior ramus, and inferior ramus)
- pubis (i.e., superior ramus, inferior ramus, pubic symphysis, obturator foramen, and acetabulum)
- femur (i.e., head, neck, shaft, greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, medial and lateral condyles, medial and lateral epicondyles, and linea aspera)
- patella (i.e., apex, base, and articular surfaces)
- tibia (i.e., medial and lateral condyle, tibial tuberosity, tibial spine, shaft, medial malleolus, and tibial plateau)
- fibula (i.e., head, shaft, lateral malleolus, and styloid process)
- tarsals (i.e., calcaneus, talus, navicular cuboid, and cuneiforms)
- metatarsals (i.e., head, shaft, and base)
- phalanges (i.e., head, shaft, and base).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the longest, strongest bone in the body?
- How are the ASIS and PSIS significant landmarks for postural assessment?
- What is the layman’s term for lateral malleolus?
