Hip Flashcards
Hip Joint ROM needs for functional activities
120 flexion
20 abduction
external rotation
What 3 joints support the hip
Iliofemoral
Pubofemoral
Ischiofemoral
What do the 3 ligaments collectively limit
hip extension
–tightly coiled around capsule in extension to give hip stability
Anterior hip Joints
Iliofemoral-Y ligament, strongest ligament
**limits IR and EXT
Pubofemoral-limits abduction
Posterior hip joint
Ischiofemoral- limits IR and Adduction
Acetabulum
made up of fusion of:
Ilium
Ischium
Pubic Bones
concave
deepened by ring of fibrocartilage labrum
- -hyaline cartilage decreases the forces of friction
- -Thicker on lateral aspects b/c forces more on lateral side
Open Pack of hip
30 flex
30 abd
slight ER-10-15 degrees
close pack of hip
full ext
slight abd
slight IR
Arthrokinematic motion of FEMUR on ACETABULUM
Flex: posterior Ext: Anterior Abduction: inferior Adduction: superior IR: posterior ER: anterior
Normal end feels of hip
flexion: soft
Ext: abduction, adduction, ER, IR- firm
Angle of inclincation
angle between axis of femoral neck and shaft of femur
NORMAL: 125 degrees
Coxa Valga
greater than 135 degree angle and results in long leg on that side and genu varum
- -longer leg on coxa valga
- -leg will bow out–>varum @ knee
Coxa Vara
less than 120 degrees angle and results in short leg on that side and genu valgum
- -shorter leg on coxa vara side
- -valgum at knee
angle of torsion
–angle formed by transverse axis through the formal condyles and axis of neck of the femur
–normal 10-15 degrees
Anteversion
Increased angle of torsion
femoral shaft is rotated medially
RESULTS IN:
genu valgum
pes planus
**internally rotated and foot pronated
Retroversion
Decreased angle of torsion
femoral shaft rotated laterally
RESULTS IN:
long leg
genu varum
**externally rotated and femoral head rotates more in line w/ condyles
Hip flexor muscles
psoas major
iliacus
rectus femoris
Hip extension muscles
gluteus maxiums-attaches to ITband
hamstrings
hip abductors
gluteus medius
gluteus minimus
TFL/IT band
Hip adductors
pectinus
gracilis
adductor magnus, brevis, longus
External rotators
piriformis
quadratus femoris
obturator externus, internus
gemellus superior, inferior
internal rotators
gluteus minimus, medius
Tensor Fascia Latae
Active insufficciency
hamstrings in prone knee flexion
Passive insufficiency
Hamstrings in supine with straight leg raise
Anterior Pevlic Tilt
ASIS moves downwardly and anteriorly
Hip Flexors (iliopsoas and Sartorius) pull down anteriorly
Erector Spinae pull up posteriorly
POSITION: increased hip flexion and lumbar spine extension
OBSERVE: hip flexors, back extensors, abdominals and hip extensors
-excessive femoral IR
Compensations for Anterior Pelvic Tilt
Femur IR
genu valgum
lateral tibial torsion
pes planus
Posterior Pelvic Tilt
ASIS moves upwardly and posteriorly
Rectus Abdominus pulls up anteriorly
Gluteus Maximus and hamstrings pull down posteriorly
POSITION:
-increased hip extension and trunk flexion
OBSERVE:
- hip flexors, back extensors, stability form Y ligaments
- people rest on Y ligaments
Compensastions for Posterior Pelvic Tilt
hip extension Femur ER genu recurvatum genu varum pes valgus
Lateral Pelvic Movement
pelvic drop of less than 5 degrees on swing leg side
gluteus medius on stance side ccontracts to hold up pelvis on swing leg side
IF glute med weak= Trendelenburg Gait
Pelvic Rotation movement
keeps body’s center of gravity within its base of support
forward motion of pelvis
femur opposite side is rotated internally
Common sources of pelvic/hip pain
sciatic nerve-passes under piriformis SI joint lumbar and lumbar/sacral joint bursae OA-groin pain
