Hip Eval & Treat Flashcards
Hip Joint (OP/CP)
-synovial joint
-Designed for stability and less mobility
-Convex head of femur and concave acetabulum
-Femoral head faces Medially, anteriorly, superiorly
Resting Position: Flx 30, Abd 30, Slight ER
Closed Packed: Full ext, IR, ABD
Capsular Pattern: Flx, Abd, IR (sometimes IR first)
Hip Dysplasia
-undercoverage of femoral head by acetabulum
-instability
Femoro-Acetabular Impingement
-FAI
-excessive bony development or overcoverage by acetabulum
-too much contact
Acetabulum
-faces anteriorly, laterally, inferiorly
-concave
-2/5 ilium and ischium, 1/5 pubis
-labrum provides neg pressure and suction (fibrocartilage)
-Acetabular fossa: shock absorption and proprioception
Angle of Inclination
-frontal plane of femoral neck
Normal:
-Adults: 125-139
-Infants: 150
-Elderly: 120
Coxa Valga: >139, longer limb, neck straight
Coxa Vara: <125, shorter limb, neck bent
Angle of Torsion
-horizontal plane of femoral neck in relation to condyles
Normal:
-Adults: 10-15 Anterior
-Infants: 30
Excessive Anteversion: >15 deg
-toe in and IR of hip to compensate
Relative Restroversion: <10 deg of anteverison
-toe out and ER of hip to compensate
Absolute Reroversion: <0 deg
-toe out and ER
Joint Capsule
Anterior/Superior:
-thick and dense
-more disposed to shortening and becoming a restriction
Posterior/Inferior:
-thin and loose
-dislocation risk
Posterior Oblique System
-lats, contra glue max, L fascia
-helps with SLS
Anterior Oblique System
-EO/IO, contra hip add and abdominal fascia
-helps wih SLS
