Hip Classification/Diagnosis Flashcards
Viscerogenic pain that can refer to hip joint
- abdominal aortic aneurysm
- iliopsoas abcess
- appendicitis
- peritonitis
- ischemic bowel
- kidney
- GI system
Adductor muscle strain
-pain in the groin region
Hamstring muscle strain
-pain in the posterior thigh; strain near the origin at the ischial tuberosity may yield buttock pain
Gluteus medius strain
-pain near the greater trochanter
Snapping Hip Syndrome Body Chart/Location of Symptoms
-not painful at rest, usually felt with functional active use of the muscle
Greater Trochanteric Bursitis Body Chart/Location of Symptoms
-pain over the lateral hip may radiate into a C shape into the anterior/posterior regions
Iliopectineal Bursitis Body Chart/Location of Symptoms
-anterior hip pain with hip flexion & extension (must rule out other pathologies in this region); pain referral into anterior thigh & patellar region
FAI/Labral Tear Body Chart/Location of Symptoms
-Commonly felt in the anterior, superior region of the hip; complains of anterior hip pain; groin pain; can radiate to lateral thigh
DJD/OA Body Chart/Location of Symptoms
- groin, greater trochanter pain; anterior thigh & medial knee pain
- deep ache, stiffness
Piriformis Syndrome Body Chart/Location of Symptoms
-pain or spasm in posterior buttocks; shooting, burning pain in buttocks; down the back of the leg
Avascular Necrosis Body Chart/Location of Symptoms
- pain in proximal thigh or buttocks; may radiate to medial knee
- ache, stiffness
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Body Chart/Location of Symptoms
-pain in the hip; lower thigh, anterior thigh, vague pain in the supra-patellar region, groin with no mechanism of injury
Legg-Calve Perthe’s Disease Body Chart/Location of Symptoms
-anterior thigh pain; can refer to knee, groin
Agg factors for muscle strain
-running, sit to stand, squatting, single leg stance, jumping
Snapping Hip Syndrome agg factors
-hip flexion, hip adduction
Bursitis agg factors
-walking, lying with pressure over area, hip adduction
FAI/Labral tear agg factors
-running, twisting
DJD/OA agg factors
-stiff in the morning getting out of bed, walking, stairs, sit to stand
Piriformis Syndrome agg factors
-walking, crossing of legs, prolong sitting
Avascular necrosis agg factors
-walking, standing, crossing legs
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis agg factors
-walking (antalgic gait)
Legg-Calve Perthe’s Disease agg factors
-walking (antalgic gait)
Neurodynamic considerations for slump
-getting in or out of a car, taking a bath, kicking a football, prolonged sitting
Neurodynamic considerations for SLR
-any activity that includes the leg extended (gait, kicking)
Neurodynamic considerations for PKB
-any activity in which the knee is bent toward the buttocks, such as hurdling
Neurodynamic considerations for a 24 hour pattern of hip pain
-may be worse at night (posture), worse in AM due to night position or worse at end of day - latent effect from a sustained posture or repetitive activity
Ease factors for muscle strain
-NSAIDS, ice, rest, soft tissue massage
Snapping Hip Syndrome ease factors
-stretching, avoiding provocative movements
Bursitis ease factors
-NSAIDS
FAI/Labral tear ease factors
-rest, non-weight bearing
Ease factors for DJD/OA
-rest, NSAIDS, use of assistive device, AROM
Ease factors for piriformis syndrome
-soft tissue massage
Avascular necrosis ease factors
-NSAIDS sometimes are effective; rest
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis ease factors
-rest
Legg-Calve Perthe’s Disease ease factors
-rest
History of muscle strain in the hip
-over dominance of the antagonist muscle (i.e. quadriceps > hamstrings); repetitive trauma or overuse of the muscle
Snapping hip syndrome external cause (history)
-snapping of the ITB or gluteus maximus over the greater trochanter
Snapping hip syndrome internal cause (history)
-snapping iliopsoas tendon over iliopectineal eminence
