Hip Flashcards
Hip Osteoarthritis CPG - Activity Limitation/Physical Performance Measures
- Should use valid physical performance measure such as 6MWT, TUG, SLS, and others (I)
Hip Osteoarthritis CPG - Physical Impairment
- Document PROM, hip muscle strength, FABER over episode of care (I)
Hip Osteoarthritis CPG - Outcome Measures
- Activity Limitation
- Use valid measures such as Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and others such as VAS (I)
Hip Osteoarthritis CPG - Diagnosis
- IR < 24 degrees or IR/Flex 15 degrees less than non painful side
- passive IR increases pain
- Morning stiffness after awakening
- moderate ant or la hip pain when WBing
(I)
Hip Osteoarthritis CPG - flexibility, strengthening, and endurance
- individualized exercises to address impairments
- 1-5 x/week for 6-12 weeks with mild to mod hip osteoarthritis
(I)
Hip Osteoarthritis CPG - Manual Therapy
- manual therapy for mild to mod hip OA that may include soft tissue mobs, thrust, and non thrust
- 1-3x/week over 6-12 weeks
(I)
Avascular necrosis - ROM
- decreased in flex, IR, and abduction
Avascular necrosis - diagnostic tests
- x ray
- bone scan
- CT
- and/or MRI
symptoms of Avascular necrosis
- pain in groin and/or thigh
- tenderness with palpation at hip joint
- coxalgic gait
- pain that increases with WBing
- night pain
injury of what ligament can cause Avascular necrosis
ligamentum teres
What is coxalgic gait
- pt leans toward affected side while pelts stays level or elevated on contralateral side due to normal abductors on affected side
- lateral shift reduces forces exerted on stance leg
- due to arthritis/avascular necrosis
Avascular necrosis - medications
- acetaminophen for pain
- NSAID for pain/inflammation
- corticosteroids are contraindicated since they may be causative factor
- pts taking steroids for other conditions should have dosage decreased
PT goals for Avascular necrosis
- joint/bone protection strategies
-maintain/improve joint mechanics and connective tissue function - aerobiccapcity
- post surgical intervention includes regaining functional flexibility, improving strength, endurance, coordination, and gait training
surgical options for Avascular necrosis
core decompression or replacement
Is avascular necrosis bilateral?
50-80% of the time
Coxa vara
angle of femoral neck with shaft of femur (angle of inclination) is <115 degrees
- “knock knee”
- compensates with gene valgum at knee
- foot forced pronation
- lateral knee joint compression, medial knee joint gapping
- VMO weakness, pes anserine, medial capsule
Coxa valga
angle of femoral neck with shaft of femur (angle of inclination) is >125 degrees
- “bow legged”
- compensates with genu varum at knee
- increased medial compression, increased stress on popliteus, LCL, Lat HS/gastroc/ITB
Coxa vara effect on foot
- forced pronation = pain in arch of foot, medial malleolus, post tib tendonitis at insertion
Coxa valga effect on foot
- tibial varus –> rapid pronation –> post tib tendonitis –> complaints of proximal medial leg symptoms
what does coxa vara usually result from
defect in ossification of head of femur
coxa vara and coxa valga may result from…
necrosis of femoral head occurring with septic arthritis
What is femoral anteversion?
increased angle of torsion (angle between femoral head/neck and an axis through the distal femoral condyles)
- “pigeon toed”
- heel strike with pronated foot –> forefoot varus compensation
What is femoral retroversion
- decreased angle of torsion
- toes out
- results in lateral contact with calcaneus –> excessive pronation during loading response
What is angle of torsion supposed to be?
12-15 degrees in adult
- 25 degrees in infant
What is trochanteric bursitis
- inflammation of deep tronchanteric bursa from a direct blow, irritation by/tight ITB, poor posture/biomechanics causing repetitive micro trauma, weak glute med
