Which nerve can cause very unpredictable patterns in the hip area

Where can pain be referred to from the hip
anterior groin / inguinal line
lumbar spine, SIJ, pelvic floor/ring, abdomen, pregnancy
lumbar spine, knee, pelvic floor
The pain provocation tests are
distraction, compression, FABER, thigh thrust

Adductors
Abductors
ER
IR
glut max, hamstring, adductor magnus, post glut med, piriformis
ilipsoas, rec fem, sartorius
adductor group
glut med, min, tfl
glut max, sartiorius, quad femoris

Tight hip flexors cause
anterior tilt of pelvis and lordosis of the spine
NOT all lateral hip pain is
trochanteric bursitis

Pain
Discomfort areas and movements
- deep palpation immediately above or just posterior to greater tro

Pain
Discomfort areas
what is it
- back pain
- local tendon and muscle pain
may spread down thigh like nerve pain - tendon disorder in hips and glutes, causing tendon to deteriorate most common in older woman
Hip capsular pattern
Limited IR and flexion> Limited ABD
femoral anteversion vs retroversion
A: inward twisting of the femoral bone (pigeon toed)
R: outward twisting of the femoral bone
Most common sites of avulsion (tearing) injuries
iliac crest
iliac spine
ischium apophysis
lesser trochanter
