Capsular patterns, ROM, MMT Flashcards
Osteokinematics: Within the hip joint, what are the motions permitted, the plane the motion occurs and the axis of rotation?
Flexion/extension = saggital plane, ML axis AB/ADduction = frontal plane, AP axis IR/ER = transverse plane, vert. or longitudinal axis
Arthrokinematics: What happens the motion of the hip in open chain?
Femoral head rolls in the same direction of the movement and slides in the opposite direction
What is the capsular pattern of the hip joint?
IR > Flexion = abduction > no limitation of ER or adduction
What is the range of motion for hip flexion?
0-120 degrees
What is the primary muscles being tested in hip flexion MMT?
Posts major and Iliacus
What is the end feel of hip flexion?
Soft; may be firm due to tension in post. joint capsule and the glut max muscle
What substitutions do you need to look for with hip flexion?
Use of the sartorius and TFL
What is the range of motion for hip extension?
0-20 degrees
What are the primary muscles being tested in hip extension?
Glut max and hamstrings
How do you isolate glut max?
Bend the knee in hip extension
What is the end feel for hip extension?
Firm; ligamentous, unless there is tight musculature
What is the range of motion for hip abduction?
0-45 degrees
What primary muscles are being testing in hip abduction?
Glut med and glut min
What is the end feel of hip abduction?
Firm; ligamentous unless there is tight musculature
What substitutions do you have to look for with hip abduction?
- “hip hike” by using trunk muscles to move leg
- ER and flexion substitution
- TFL substitution
How do you isolate the TFL in hip abduction?
place the leg at 45 degrees of hip flesion
What is the range of motion for hip adduction?
0-15/20 degrees
What muscles are being tested in hip adduction?
Adductor magnus, brevis, and longus; pectine and gracilis
