10/14 - Hip Exam Considerations Flashcards
what is the significance of subjective history
may determine up to 90% of dx
what are 6 components of hisotry
subjective hx
MOI
chronicity
pain intensity
sport demands
activity status
what does pain w static positions indicate
intra-articular path
what paths may be associated w sitting buttock pain (4)
ischial bursitis
hamstring syndrome
gluteal bursitis
lumbar disk
what does pain w dynamic activity indicate
extra-articular / ms
what does pain w walking on level ground indicate
dysplasia
hip flexors
what does pain with walking up stairs indicate
inc demand on ABDs
what does pain with deep flexion indicate
possibly FAI
what does sharp pain indicate and what other sx are typically associated
labrum or articular loose bodies
- clicking, catching, locking
what does a C-sign indicate
intra-articular path
what does burning pain indicate
nerve entrapment
what nerves at the hip are at risk for being entrapped (6)
femoral
lateral femoral cutaneous
ilioinguinal
genitofemoral
obturator
sciatic
if in addition to burning pain, the patient is also experiencing paresthesias, numbness, weakness - what should be considered
lumbar involvement
what is one of the first things to consider when hearing of night pain
r/o systemic dz, tumor
what should be considered when getting imaging for a hip
high prevalence of (+) findings in asymptomatic people
- abnormalities seen might not even have anything to do w sx
since imaging shouldn’t be done in isolation, what other things should be considered (2)
sx
clinical signs
what sx are more likely to be coming from the hip than the spine
limp
groin pain
dec IR
how does labral path pain present
central groin and peritrochanteric
what does (-) groin pain r/o
labrum and FAI involvement
in a relaxed supine position, why would inc ER be seen
lax ant capsule
retroversion
in a relaxed supine position, why would dec ER be seen
ant capsule restriction
what primary motions will you see dec strength in if a patient has hip related pain
ADD
ABD
flex
ER
IR
conflicting evidence on ext
how does 90deg of hip flex vs <90deg bias hip flexors
90deg - biases psoas
<90 - biases many other flexors
