Hip and Abdomen Flashcards
The only quad muscle that crosses the hip and its actions
rectus femoris
flex the hip, extend the knee
What is the only hamstring muscle that does not cross the hip?
short head of biceps
actions of hamstrings on the knee and hip
flexes the knee, extends the hip
what s ectopic calcification (Myositis Ossificans)
chronically inflamed striated muscle resulting in myosis. bone growth within the muscle
what loss of function can you expect from a quad muscle strain
knee flexion ROM
hip extention ROM
Hip flexion and knee extension strength
hamstring muscle strain most often occurs where
mid muscle belly or close to the origin
what kind of strengthening is essential to reduce the likelihood of repeat hamstring injury
eccentric stregthening
Femoral anteversion is what direction
toes point inward, turn in
femoral retroversion is what direction
toes point out, turn out
what is a normal femoral angle
15 degrees anterior to the long axis of the femur and condyles
what is the Kendall’s test good for
can see the quad group tenseness and leg rotation from hanging down while laying on a table
what is the Trendelenburg test
when standing on one leg, the non-stand leg should be higher, test is positive when stance leg is higher. Indicated weak abductors (glut medius) of the stance leg
adductor sprain MOI
twisting motion at the trunk/pelvis with hip external rotation or excessive abduction
what should you restrict when it comes to adductor sprains. for how long.
dynamic exercise until almost completely pain free. major set back if introduced too early
hip labral tear occurs due to…
repetitive movements resulting in degeneration of the labrum or acutely in a hip dislocation
what test is related to hip labral tears
positive hip scour position. full flexion and external and internal rotation
observing gait, if the heel kicks in during toe off it indicates…
what about when the heel turns out
in = tight external rotators out = tight internal rotators
sciatica is most often due to…
a tight piriformis
sciatica is commonly confused as…
a hamstring strain or pull
someone is complaining of deep pain in the gluteal or hip region, but no low back pain. what do you suspect?
sciatica/piriformis syndrome
T or F
“snapping hip” should always be managed immediately, focusing on soft tissue release
F
should only be managed if it is disabling
what is a flail chest
3 or more consecutive ribs are fractured
how long does healing take for costochondral separation
1-2 months
what is it called when the pleural cavity becomes filled with air causing the lung to collapse
pneumothorax
