Hip Flashcards
Primary Hip Flexors
Iliopsoas, Rectus femoris, Sartorius, Tensor fascia latae
Primary Hip Extensors
Pectineus, Gluteus maximus, Adductor magnus (posterior head), Biceps femoris (long head)
External Rotation
By 6 deep external rotators of the hip working as one muscle
Internal Rotation
Many different muscles contribute
Femoroacetabular Impingement
Abnormal growth/deformity of the femur or acetabulum. causes butting together at the end of the range. can damage the cartilage of the Acetabulofemoral joint - risk factor for osteoarthritis. Higher risks in young people and athletic groups
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
If the I-Band is tight - inflammation on the lateral aspect of the knee, friction between I-Band and the lateral condyle of the femur
Hamstring Sprain
Most common injury in football
Most non contact - during running
Hamstring Sprain Risk Factors
previous hamstring sprain
fatigue
strength imbalance
poor flexibility
