Hip Biomechanics Flashcards
What is normal hip flexion
0-120

Is hip flexion done with the knee extended or flexed
Flexed
Is hip extension done with the knee extended or flexed
Extended
What does hip proper mean

0-30
What are the 2 joint muscles you have to take into account for in the sagittal plane (2)
- Rectus femoris
2. Hamstrings
What are the 2 joint muscles you have to take into account for in the frontal plane (2)
- Gracilis
2. ITB
What limits hip ABD
The gracilis
What is IR of the hip with knee extended
0-55
What is IR of the hip with knee flexed
0-45
What is ER of the hip with the knee extended
0-55
What is ER of the hip with the knee flexed
0-45
What causes the decreased amount of hip IR/ER with the knee flexed
The posterior capsule is tension loaded limiting motion
What is the function of a joint capsule
Increase joint congruity to eliminate shear forces
What are the normal hip ranges during gait (4)
- Flexion: 30
- Extension: 10
- ADD/ABD: 5
- IR/ER: 5
What is it called if ABD/ADD and IR/ER increase to 15-20
Circumduction
True or False:
The hip has 3 degrees of freedom during gait
True
How much hip flexion is needed to sit down/rise from a chair
106
How much hip flexion is needed to ascend stairs
67
How much hip flexion is needed to descend stairs
36
Why do we need 106 degrees of hip flexion to sit down/rise from a chair
We are not able to get out of a chair with hip flexion at 90
What are the arthrokinematic motions during ABD in OKC
Superior roll and inferior glide
What are the arthrokinematic motions during ADD in OKC
Inferior roll and superior glide
What are the arthrokinematic motions during IR in OKC
Anterior roll and posterior glide or medial roll and lateral glide
What are the arthrokinematic motions during ER in OKC
Posterior roll and anterior glide or lateral roll and medial glide
What are the arthrokinematic motions during flexion in OKC
Spin (best evidence supports this)
Anterior roll and posterior glide
What are the arthrokinematic motions during extension in OKC
Spin (best evidence supports this)
Posterior roll and anterior glide
What causes flexion and extension to be spin (4)
- Depth of cavity
- Labrum
- Negative pressure of joint
- Ligamentous capsule and stability
True or False:
You do joint play to free up motion throughout the entire capsule for the hip
True
What does the hip equal
Femur
What does the pelvis equal
Os coxa
What bone are we talking about in OKC
Hip
What bone are we talking about in CKC
Pelvis
What hip motion does posterior tilting of the pelvis cause
Hip extension
What hip motion does anterior tilting of the pelvis cause
Hip flexion
What are the sagittal plane motions of the pelvis
Posterior and anterior tilting/tipping
What are the frontal plane motions of the pelvis
Hiking/elevation and dropping/depression
Why is elevation/depression of the pelvis considered hemipelvic motion
Because only one hemipelvis moves
What muscles causes right hip elevation
Right quadratus lumborum and left gluteus medius
What does contralateral hemipelvis elevation cause at the ipsilateral hip
ABD of ipsilateral hip
What does contralateral hemipelvis depression causes at the ipsilateral hip
ADD of ipsilateral hip
What is more common hemipelvic depression or elevation
Depression
What is hemipelvic depression called
Trendelenburg
When do you see hemipelvic elevation (3)
- Foot drop
- Leg length discrepancy
- Poor hip flexor strength
What hip are you pivoting about or around for the transverse plane motions of the hip
The hip of the leg you are standing on
What motions occur in the transverse plane at the hip
Forward and backward rotation
What is left forward rotation equal to
Left hemipelvis forwardly rotating about or around the right hip
What is left backward rotation equal to
Left hemipelvis backwardly rotating about or around the right hip
What is left forward rotation of the hip in terms of IR/ER for both hips
Left: ER
Right: IR
What is left backward rotation of the hip in terms of IR/ER for both hips
Left: IR
Right: ER
Do you use anterior/posterior for rotation and the hip
Negative on that one ghost rider
Which way do the pelvis and lumbar spine move in OKC lumbopelvic rhythm
The same direction
What does lumbopelvic rhythm strive to do in the closed CKC
Keep the head and trunk upright
Which way do the pelvis and lumbar spine move in CKC lumbopelvic rhythm
Opposite directions
What is Janda’s pelvic cross syndrome
Excessive anterior or posterior tilt of the pelvis
If you have anterior pelvic tilting in CKC what occurs at the lumbar spine
Lumbar extension
If you have psoterior pelvic tilting in CKC what occurs at the lumbar spine
Lumbar flexion
What is an adaptively lengthened muscle referred to as
A weak and inhibited muscle
What is an adaptively shortened muscle referred to as
A strong facilitated muscle
What is adaptively shortened and lengthened during anterior pelvic tilting in the CKC
Shortened: Hip flexors and erector spinae
Lengthened: Rectus abdominis and hamstrings
What is adaptively shortened and lengthened during posterior pelvic tilting in the CKC
Shortened: Rectus abdominis and hamstrings
Lengthened: Hip flexors and erector spinae
How much of the acetabulum do the pubis, ischium, and ilium make
Pubis: 1/5
ISchium: 2/5
Ilium: 2/5
When does full ossification of the acetabulum occur
15-25 years old
True or False:
The acetabulum has a horseshoe shaped articular area
True
What type of cartilage makes up the labrum of the acetabulum
Fibrocartilaginous
Why is fibrocartilage good
It has the ability to heal
