Hip Flashcards
phase where emphasis is placed on:
- protection of the injury
- management of pain and inflammation
- gentle protected ROM/stretching exercises
- light strengthening exercise as appropriate
often acute injury/immediate and early post-surgery
maximal protection phase
phase where emphasis is on progression of activity within pt tolerance and healing to include:
- continue to progress ROM and stretching in larger ranges
- increased strengthening, advancing and/or adding OKC exercise as appropriate
sub-acute conditions or middle post-op stages
moderate protection phase
phase where emphasis is on:
- advance OKC to CKC strengthening
- emphasis on functional activity
- progress activity as tolerated with goals of returning to PLF (normal ROM, str, return to sports, etc)
chronic conditions, normal healing, later post-op stages
minimal protection phase
progression of phases is dictated by: (3)
- tissue healing
- successful achievement of goals within each phase
- pt tolerance
restore hip/pelvis function goals (8)
- postural alignment and dynamic stability of lumbopelvic region
- awareness of pelvic positioning
- activation of core and pelvic stabilizing mm
- strengthening of the hip and trunk mm
- working on overall alignment of LE kinematic chain
- hip jt mobility and soft tissue extensibility
- coordinated neuromuscular control between core and LE mm to ensure safe ADLs, IADLS, work, etc
- function of associated body systems (ie. cardiovascular endurance)
fracture type:
- fracture occurring between the greater and lesser trochanter
- more common in pts with OA
intertrochanteric
fracture type:
- occurs at femoral neck
- disrupts blood supply to hip joint with 65-85% developing avascular necrosis
common in pts with osteoporosis
femoral neck fx
fracture type:
- fx below greater and lesser trochanters, usually along the proximal 1/3 of the shaft of the femur
malunion, delayed union or non-union of bone is common
loosening of fixation devices also common d/t increased force load through femur
subtrochanteric
5 complications of hip fx
- poor healing/union of bone
- avascular necrosis
- blood clots/PE 40-90%
- infection, pneumonia d/t poor mobility
- death
Hip fx maximum protection phase rehab (5)
day 1 - 21
- ankle pumps, breathing ex. for DVT prevention
- pain and swelling control
- gentle protected assisted ROM (supine, seated)
- sub-maximal isometrics
- protected weight bearing
hip fx precautions:
- no combined/diagonal motions
- no SLRs
- no bridging
Hip fx moderate protection phase rehab (~3-6 weeks) (4)
- progress from supine/seated to standing exercise
- isometric to streight plane OKC –> con/ecc based on pain tol. (quads, glutes, abd, hams)
- progress to CKC once pain free FWB achieved
- progress hip ROM and strengthening as tol.
hip fx minimum protection phase (6-8 weeks) (3)
- continue to advance exercise OKC to CKC
- promote normal gat
- functional activities
pelvic fx stable rehab:
bed rest of days to 1 week followed by AROM exercises and isometric strengthening exercises
pelvic fx unstable rehab:
require ORIF follwoed by AROM exercises and isometric strengthening exercises
pelvic fx WB status:
NWB to PWB for ~2 months (unstable)
