Chronic Hip And Knee Pain Flashcards
What is trochanteric bursitis?
Inflammation and swelling of the bursa lateral to the greater trochanter of the femur
Due to overuse or inappropriate use of the LE
What is Ober test?
Patient lateral recumbent
Examiner passive extends and abducts the hip with knee flexed to 90 degrees. Slowly lower the limb
Positive test = inability to adduct past anatomical neutral
Used for contracture in tensa fascia latae, trochanteric bursitis
What is the treatment for trochanteric bursitis?
NSAIDs, steroids, injection, aspiration
Where might SD be found in groin pain/injury?
Hip flexors
What are the relative contraindications to OMT in the lower extremity?
Neural vascular compromise Undiagnosed trauma Fracture Knee internal derangement Undiagnosed LE edema LE infection
What is the origin of Sartorius?
ASIS
What is the insertion of sartorius?
Medial to the tibial tuberosity
What is the action of sartorius?
Hip flexion, abduction, external rotation
Flexes knee and internally rotated leg
What is the innervation of sartorius?
Femoral nerve (L2, L3)
What is the Thomas test?
Have patient lay supine on table with on knee tucked into chest and other leg hanging off table.
Positive test = leg coming off the table
Means they have tight hip flexors
What is the hip scour test?
Assesses labral tear, osteoarthritis
Patient is supine with hip and knee flexed. Compress the femur - internally and externally rotate the hip in adduction and abduction
Positive : clicking, pain
What is Patrick’s test?
Assesses hip motion and distinguishes between hip joint path and SI SD
What is the posterior capsule stretch?
Patient is supine with knee and hip flexed.
Physician has one hand on greater trochanter and one on distal femur above the knee applying and compressive force with both hands varying the Ab/adduction
What is the origin of obturator externus?
Outer surfaces of obturator membrane
What is the insertion of obturator externus?
Trochanteric fossa of the femur
What is the action of obturator externus?
Adduction and external rotation of the hip
Stabilize pelvis
What is the innervation of obturator externus?
Obturator nerve (L3,L4)
What is the origin of pectineus?
Pecten pubis
What is the insertion of pectineus?
Pectineal line and proximal linea aspera of the femur
What is the action of pectineus?
Adduction, external rotation and flexion of hip
Stabilizes hip
What is the innervation of pectineus?
Femoral and obturator nerve L2, L3
What is the origin of adductor longus?
Superior pubic ramus
Anterior pubic symphysis
What is the insertion of adductor longus?
Linea aspera
What is the action of adductor longus?
Adduction and flexion of hip
Stabilizes pelvis
What is the innervation of adductor longus?
Obturator nerve L2-L4
What is the origin of adductor brevis?
Inferior pubic ramus
What is the insertion of adductor brevis?
Linea aspera
What is the action of adductor brevis?
Adduction and flexion of hip
Stabilize pelvis
What is the innervation of adductor brevis?
Obturator nerve L2-L3
What is the origin of adductor Magnus?
Inferior pubic ramus, ischial ramus, ischial tuberosity
What is the insertion of adductor magnus?
Linea aspera and medial epicondyle of the femur
What is the action of adductor Magnus?
Adduction, external rotation, extension of hip
Stabilizes hip
Tendinous part also helps with internal rotation
What is the Innervation of adductor Magnus?
Obturator nerve L2-L4
Tibial nerve L4
