Exam 2- SI jt-hip functional tests Flashcards
what is the SI jt designed for
stability and very little mobility
what is RSA imaging
3D imaging motion and position
what are the RF for SI jt dysfunction
laxity and hormonal changes
during pregnancy- LBP or pelvic trauma
what is the primary cause of SI jt dysfunction
peri partum
immature skeleton due to lack of bone irregularity and congruency
trauma
disease (AS)
what are the S&S of SI jt dysfunction
localized SI jt pain
gluteal and lateral hip pain
pubic symphysis pain
hypermobility S&S
what can be seen on a SCAN for SI jt dysfunction
TL A/PROM- inconsistent
RST- impaired local m and weak antigravity m
ST- SI provocation tests
how are special tests with SI jt dysfunction
motion and palpation are unreliable
ASLR (+) for impaired m
what are most often the best evidence for dx a SI dysfunction
cluster and ASLR
how do we treat SI jt dysfunction
POLICED
m energy technique for m guarding/pain
pelvic belt
JM
MET
what does JM do for SI jt dysfunction
likely positive soft tissue and m influence per manip
what is the primary MET focus of SI jt dysfunction
stabilization
what do we do for MET with SI jt dysfunction
local m and lumbar hypermobility MET
hip m and thoracolumbar fascia
how does ligaments act if m attached to them
what if m is impaired
dynamic
if m is impaired, the ligament does not work how it should
what to edu the patient on with an SI jt dysfunction
reduce fear
early mobilization
general anatomy, biomechanics
reassurance of good prognosis
when are injections involved with the SI jt
pt has ankylosing spondylitis
what MD Rx can be given for SI jt dysfunction for short term benefit
pain/anti inflammatory meds
prolotherapy
what is the prognosis of SI jt dysfunction with pregnancy
rapidly declines during first 3 months post partum
what are the RF for an FAI
genetics and gender
susceptible population and activities
abnormal hip/pelvis kinematics
if a pt has limited post tilt, what other motion can be limited with FAI
hip ER
what is the more often cause of FAI
abnormal hip mechanics
vigorous athlete loading
what is less often the cause of FAI
pediatric hip conditions
femoral neck fx
what is a cam FAI
less spherical femoral head
contacts anterosuperior acetabulum (12 oclock)
more common in males
what are the congenitial types of FAI
cam
pincer
mixed
what is a pincer FAI
deeper acetabulum or anterior osteophyte
neck contacts anterior and sometimes posterior labrum
middle aged athletic
what structures are involved with FAI
articular cartilage
labral
what pain be reported that we should consider to be a FAI
mechanical groin pain
what are the symptoms of FAI
gradual onset of hip pain in anterior/groin area
lateral hip possible
what can worsen symptoms with FAI
repetitive and or prolonged hip flexion
what can you observe with FAI
impaired LE control
what functional tests can indicate FAI
impaired balance and LE control
quad dominant squat
what does ROM show with FAI
pain and limited with FLX and IR/H ADD at 90 deg flx
hip maltracking
<85 deg arc of RT
what is the largest predictor of groin pain
<85 deg arc at 90 flx
true/false
the different types of FAI all present in different ways
false
they all present the same
what does the rest of the SCAN show for a FAI
RST- decrease activation in ant gravity hip m
CM- possible consistent
ST- compression +
what will show in the BE for FAI
AM- possible hypo if persistent
Sp Test- FIR, FADDIR, FABER, possible femoral torsion +
palpation- + over anterior hip
how do we treat FAI
POLICED
JM
load management- exercise/ergonomic
foot orthotic- realignment or m activation
Pt edu
MET
what Pt edu can we provide with FAI
limit hip flexion >90
verbal cues for LE control
what are we trying to emphasize with MET for a pt with FAI
cartilage integrity
m function- antigravity hip m
mobility
emphasize LE control
what is the prognosis of FAI
many play with labral tears - no sx
ARJC decrease prognosis
what is the MD Rx for FAI
ultrasound guided injections
sx- iliopsoas release or labral
what is the most common cause of hip pian
ARJC
what are RF of ARJC in the hip
> 50 yrs
previous joint injury
preceded FAI
increasing BMI
occupational activity
what can allow a pt to develop ARJC in the hip sooner
previous injury
FAI
what is a subsequent predictor of hip disease
LBP
what drives the pain for ARJC in the hip
subchondral bone (innervation) since articular cartilage is gone (no innervation)
what are symptoms of ARJC in the hip
AM stiffness < 30 min
less tolerant to WB activities and sitting
C sign of pain
nociplastic
why is standing and sitting more painful with ARJC in hip than FAI
ARJC- articular cartilage = compression forces
FAI- labrum = stabilizer
what might you observe with ARJC in hip
asymmetrical gait
trendelenburg gait, lateral pelvic tilt
how is a lateral shift named
named by the way which hip drops
what can we see in a scan for ARJC in hip
ROM- > 3 planes restricted
CM- consistent block
RST- pain and weakness in ABD
ST- compression +
what will accessory motion show with ARJC in hip
hypomobility
what sp test would be found with ARJC in the hip
impaired functional performance (6 min walk, up and go)
impaired balance
what can we do to treat ARJC in the hip
POLICED
modalities
JM
MET
AD
pt edu
what is our purpose in treatment for ARJC in the hip
cartilage integrity
impaired m activation
mobility
what is an easy way to choose the correct assistive device
what AD allows walking most effectively with least pain
what pt edu is needed for ARJC in hip
limit hip flexion >90
wt managment
what needs to be included for MET with ARJC in hip
include trunk and hip anti gravity m
balance
what parameters for MET with ARJC in hip
