Process/Skill Questions:

- What muscles in the lower extremity are responsible for helping a person move from sitting to standing?
- What actions would a person be unable to perform if he/she injured the femoral nerve?
- What is the most common part of the bone in the hip joint to break during a fall?
- What key muscle prevents the knee from buckling?
- What bony landmarks are used to measure knee flexion and extension?
