Hip FUNCTION focus Flashcards
Passive tension in which muscle(s) limits ABduction?
the 2-joint gracilis
Passive tension in which muscle(s) limits ADduction?
TFL and ITB
Passive tension in which muscle(s) limits hip flexion when combined with knee extension?
the 2-joint rectus femoris
Motion of the hip joint is produced by movement of the pelvis on the
femur.
Anterior and posterior tilting of the pelvis will result in flexion and extension of both hip joints simultaneously in bilateral stance. What about single leg stance?
can also occur at stance hip joint alone when opposite leg is NWB.
What occurs with a posterior pelvic tilt in the sagittal plane?
pubic symphesis rises, sacrum descends
hip extension
What occurs with an anterior pelvic tilt in the sagittal plane?
ASIS moves inferiorly on fixed femur
hip flexion
Stand on left leg. Drop pelvis. What happens at the hip joint?
L hip adduction
(medial angle b/w femur and line through ASIS decreases)
R hip abduction
Stand on left leg. Hike pelvis. What happens at hip joint?
L hip abduction
(medial angle b/w femur and line through ASIS increases)
R hip adduction
Lateral pelvic tilt is named by what is happening to which side? Which side it the axis of rotation?
the side opposite to the WB hip in unilateral stance is the tilting side. The WB hip joint is always the axis of rotation.
In bilateral stance (closed-chain), how does lateral pelvic tilt manifest and what happens at each hip joint?
results in lateral shift of pelvis
so if R lateral pelvic shift, R femur is adducted
L hip drops, L femur abducted
With L unilateral stance, how does forward rotation manifest?
L hip is axis of rotation, R hip rotates forward, medial rotation at left hip
Is forward/backward pelvic rotation possible in closed-chain bilateral stance?
Yes. The center of rotation is vertical axis through center of pelvis. (R forward/L backward)
What combination of movements increases ROM in forward flexion to reach the hands to the floor? Is this mostly open or closed chain?
PELVIFEMORAL MOTION
combination of hip flexion, anterior pelvic tilt, flexion of lumbar spine maximizes ROM
OPEN chain
R sidelying position, lift your left leg into abduction? What else happens and is this open-or closed chain?
PELVIFEMORAL MOTION
combination of L hip abduction (OPEN-chain)
lateral pelvic tilt (left hike about the right hip) and lumbar flexion to the left (closed chain)
What is pelvifemoral motion?
combination of hip, pelvic, and lumbar motion
Anterior pelvic tilt is accompanied by what hip joint motion and what compensatory lumbar spine motion?
hip flexion
lumbar extension
Posterior pelvic tilt is accompanied by what hip joint motion and what compensatory lumbar spine motion?
hip extension
lumbar flexion
