Question
Answer
What type of joint is the hip?   Multiaxial ball & socket joint  
🗑
What forms the acetabulum?   Fusion of the ilium, ischium & pubis. Deepened by the labrum.  
🗑
Compare the hip & shoulder   Hip is more stable & dynamic, less ROM; hip ligaments stronger  
🗑
What comprises the innominate?   Ilium + Ischium + Pubis  
🗑
Which directions does the acetabulum open?   Inferiorly, Anteriorly, Laterally  
🗑
Which directions does the femoral head open?   Anteriorly, Medially, Superiorly  
🗑
What is the "degree above the frontal plane that the femoral neck faces" & what is it's normal measure?   Anteversion. Normally b/t 8-15 degrees  
🗑
More hip anteversion causes what?   Toeing in (hip IR)  
🗑
Hip retroversion causes?   Toeing out (hip ER)  
🗑
What ligament is the strongest of the hip?   Iliofemoral (Y ligament of Bigelow)  
🗑
What motions does the iliofemoral ligament prevent?   Excessive extension. Also maintains upright hip posture.  
🗑
Which hip ligament is the weakest?   Ischiofemoral  
🗑
Which motions does the ischiofemoral ligament prevent?   Winds tightly on extension  
🗑
Which motions does the pubofemoral ligament prevent?   Excessive abduction of the femur; also limits extension  
🗑
All 3 ligaments limit what?   Internal Rotation  
🗑
Resting Position of the Hip   30 deg flexion & abduction; Slight ER  
🗑
Closed Packed Position of the Hip   Extension, IR, Abduction  
🗑
Capsular Pattern of the Hip   Flexion, abduction, IR > Extension, Adduction, ER  
🗑
Hip Dysplasia occurs more often in whom?   Girls, Infants  
🗑
Legg-Calve-Perthes occurs more often in whom?   3-12 yo boys  
🗑
Hip OA & femoral neck fx occur more often in whom?   Older population, women, usu 2ndary to osteoporosis  
🗑
If pain is in the anterior hip, what could it be?   OA, hip flexor strain, impingement, iliopsoas bursitis, hip fx, stress fx, arthritis, acetabular labral tear, AVN of femoral head  
🗑
Lateral hip pain is indicative of....   IT band, meralgia paresthetica, lumbar n root pain, trochanteric bursitis  
🗑
Posterior Hip pain is indicative of...   referred pain from L-spine; SI jt dysfxn; Hip extensorrotator m. strain  
🗑
Clicking is common with what type of injury?   Labral Tears  
🗑
Internal Snapping Hip   Iliopsoas tendon over lesser trochanter/anterior acetabulum; Iliofemoral ligament over femoral head; Iliopsoas bursal or capsular thickening  
🗑
External Snapping Hip   Tight IT band; Glut max over greater trochanter; Trochanteric bursitis  
🗑
Intra-articular Snapping Hip   Labral/ligamentum teras; loose bodies; capsular instability (laxity in hip)  
🗑
Unremitting, long duration pain in the hip is   Possible yellow/red flag, esp if close to lower back or large nerve distribution area  
🗑
What nerve pierces the piriformis in 12% of the population?   Sciatic N.  
🗑
Posture Observations   Pelvic obliquity (unequal leg length, mm contractures, scoliosis); Watch spine & hip during AROM/PROM; Does pt stand equally on both legs?; Iliopsoas tightness- deviation of spine to same side  
🗑
Balance observations   Balance on single leg (eyes open, then closed)  
🗑
Traumatic Posterior hip dislocation   Limb is shortened, adducted, medially rotated; greater trochanter is prominent  
🗑
Anterior hip dislocation   Limb is abducted, laterally rotated; May be cyanotic or swollen  
🗑
Intertrochanteric fractures   Limb is shortened & laterally rotated  
🗑
Shortening of a leg...   Spinal scoliosis if present on only 1 lower limb; Shortening may be structural or functional  
🗑
Anterior View   Abnormal bony contour difficult to detect; Swelling hard to see  
🗑
Lateral View   Contour of buttock observed; Hip flexion deformity observed  
🗑
Posterior View   Position of the hip & effect of this position on the spine; Hip flexion contracture may lead to increased lumbar lordosis  
🗑
Exam- Active Movements   Flexion; Extension; Abduction; Adduction; IR; ER  
🗑
End feel of Passive Movements   Flexion; Extension; Abduction; Adductoin; IR; ER--All have tissue approximation/stretch end feel!  
🗑
Resisted Isometric Mvmts   Flexion/extension, Abd/Add, IR/ER of hip; Flexion/Extension of the knee  
🗑
Patrick's Test aka Faber aka Figure-4 test   FABER= flexion, abduction, ER. Position = inability to lower leg; Possible SI involvement  
🗑
Trendelenberg's Sign   Stability of hip abduction; Drop in OPPOSITE pelvis  
🗑
Craig's Test for femoral anteversion   Birth- 30 deg; Adult- 8-15 deg; Pt lies prone & flexes knee  
🗑
True Leg Length   ASIS to Medial Malleolus  
🗑
Apparent Leg Length   Belly button to Medial Malleolus  
🗑
Thomas Test   Supine, knee to chest, flatten L-spine; Rise in other leg at hip &/or knee extension &/or hip abduction  
🗑
Ober's Test   IT band tightness; Stabilize hip while loweirng leg  
🗑
Piriformis Test (FAIR test)   Flexion, Adduction, IR; sidelying, flex hip to 60 deg, knee flexed; Lower leg to increase symptoms  
🗑
Peripheral Nerve Injury- Sciatic Nerve   L4-S3- Piriformis Syndrome  
🗑

🗑
Peripheral Nerve Injury- Femoral N.   L2-L4  
🗑
