Hip BM Flashcards
Function of the Hip
Weight bearing
Stability
Mobility for gait (s and l limb)
Force transmission (pelvis to femur)
Osteology of the acetabulum
Lateral
Anterior
Inferior
Osteology of femoral head
Oriented: medial, superior, anterior
2/3 of sphere
Neck
Greater trochanter
Normal femur angle of inclination
Normal = 125°
Coxa Vera femur angle of inclination
Less than 125°
Adduct hip to align
Coxa Valga femur angle of inclination
Greater than 125°
Abduct hip to align
Anteversion angle
Degree of anterior orientation of femoral head
~15° I’m adults
Greater in children
Increased anteversion will result in what
Decreased external ROM
Decreased anteversion will result in what
Decreased anteversion will result in decreased internal ROM
Ligament in the hip
Illiofemoral, pubofemoral, ischiofemoral, ligamentum teres
Illiofemoral restricts and tightens with what
Restricts extension and ant. Translation
Superior tightens with adduction
Inferior tightens with abduction
Pubofemoral restricts what
Abduction and extension
Ischiofemoral restricts what
Internal rotation and extension
Ligamentum teres limits what
IR/ER
Ligament function
Tension in all ligaments minimizes the need for muscle activity
Ambulation: prevents hyperextension
Arthrokinematics for femur Flex/Ext
Spin
