a) Normal
b) abnormal
c) hip dysplasia
c) hip dysplasia (<20)
True or false: The joint capsule in the acetabulum is Mobility AND stability.
TRUE! Mostly provides mobility (ROM) while providing SOME stability

A patient come in complaining of weakness of quadricep muscles. Notable on history was a non-contact ACL tear when he was 42. What muscles do you think are involved?
a) gluteal medius
b) gluteus minimus
c) gluteus maximus
d) a and b only
d) a and b only

c) non-contact ACL rupture
d) contact ACL rupture
c) non-contact ACL rupture
During the Trendelenberg test, If a patient raised his right foot and you notice a drop on the right hip, what could be the cause of this?
weakness of his left gluteus medius and gluteus minimus
A patient comes into your office complaining of buttock pain when sitting. Though if it is better when they are sitting on a softer surface. The symptomx are provoked with passive abduction and IR of the hip in
d) piriformis syndrome
A 18 yo track athlete/hurdler m complains of pain around the ischeal tuberosity and pain with sitting. When you try to raise his straight leg, and dorsiflex the leg, he screams out in pain. Oh dear. What could be the problem?
a) hamstring syndrome
b) gluteal maximus weakness
c) gluteal medius weakness
d) piriformis syndrome
a) hamstring syndrome
Why are young athletes in track often see an avulsion hamstring injury?
because their ischial apophyses is not completely fused until late teens/early 20s
Which of the following does not work to screen and rule out lumbar spine/SI
a) buttock pain with trunk AROM
b) Straight leg raise test on the side of the symptoms
c) Straight leg raise test on the opposite side of symptoms (XSR).
d) Fabere’s test
e) none of the above
e) none of the above
What does FABERE’s test stand for?
F = Flexion AB = ABduction ER = External Rotation E = Extension
A 38 yo f comes in complaining of pain while stair climbing at the gym and being unable to lay on the side of the pain (left side). Suspicious! You place her hip in full passive flexion, adduction, and internally and externally rotate her hip and she screams the entire time. What is the diagnosis?
a) trochananteric bursitis
b) pelvic floor muscle weakness
c) osteitis pubis
