Hip Joint

Question 1

What are the hip pathologies?

Answer 1

Acetabular labral tear
osteoarthritis
hip impingement
abductor strain
snapping hip
osteitis pubis

Question 2

What is osteoarthritis?

Answer 2

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition as a result of mechanical overload in weight-bearing
1 in 3 people over 60 suffer from OA, the high Cartlidge breaks down and can have primary and secondary causes.

The signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis are pain around the hip joint but eases with movement develops slowly but worsen overtime of range of motion and decreased function early morning stiffness

Question 3

What is hip impingement?

Answer 3

Femoral acetabular impingement syndrome is a motion related clinical disorder of the hip involving premature contact between articular surfaces

The signs and symptoms of hip impingement stiffness which come radiate to the back thighs or buttocks and is aggravated by acceleration sports.

It may advance to hip osteoarthritis

There are two types come in impingement and pincer impingement

Question 4

What is an acetabular labral tear

Answer 4

Acetabular labral tear is a tear to the acetabular labrum which is the ring of Cartlidge around the acetabular.

This injury is for to result from excessive forces at the hip joint or direct trauma may also be a method of injury

The signs and symptoms are variation in clinical presentation anterior hip and groin pain can have pain in anterior thigh lateral thigh there would be clicking locking popping giving catching stiffness or a dull ache

Question 5

What is an inguinal disruption?

Answer 5

It’s a term used to describe abdominal soft tissue injury known as sportsmen hernia, inguinal hernia, Gilmore groin.

Long-standing groin pain involves damage to external or internal oblique muscles or tendons caused by muscle imbalances and overuse micro trauma

The sides and symptoms are post exercise stiffness and soreness, pain in lower abdomen often radiating to medial upper size, pain can vary from a diffuse ache to sharp pain, pain when turning in bed or getting out of Car, pain and sudden movements

Question 6

What is snapping hip?

Answer 6

There are two types of snapping hip internal and external

Internal the tendon of the iliopsoas muscle as it moves through its normal range of motion across the bone structures of the hip
External localised lateral aspect of the hip TL or abducting fibres of the glutes sliding over the greater trochanter, which is most common

The signs and symptoms of snapping hip are that it is not usually painful,procure a characteristic sound of snapping in around the hip when in motion tightness, and weakness pelvic stability.

Question 7

What is osteitis pubis?

Answer 7

Osteitis pubis is the injury to the sympthesis pubis

This can be caused by excessive repetitive stress or movement is imposed on it , inflammation occurs at the joints and rotational stresses imposed with block tackling and kicking as well as cod may cause joint to become subluxed.

The signs and symptoms of osteitis pubis is gradual history of pain, pain in lower abdomen, pain in groin, improves with prolong rest, pain and coughing or turning in bed, tenderness or synthesis, x-ray can reveal early signs .

Question 8

What are the accessory hip mobilisations

Answer 8

Lateral distraction
Longitudinal distraction
AP glide
PA glide

Question 9

What are the physiological hip joint mobilisations

Answer 9

Flexion
Extension
Abduction
Internal rotation
External rotation

Question 10

Why would you perform a hip lateral distraction

Answer 10

Because it can help with mobility and increase space in the hip joint

Question 11

Why would you perform a hip lateral distraction

Answer 11

Because it can help with mobility and increase space in the hip joint

Question 12

Why would you perform a hip longitudinal distraction

Answer 12

Can help with pain relief, increase joint movement and assess the hip

Question 13

Why would you perform a hip AP glide

Answer 13

Because it increases joint play and capsular stretch to improve range of motion for extension and external rotation

Question 14

Why would you perform a hip PA glide

Answer 14

Because it helps improve range of motion and joint play and may be beneficial for people with hip osteoarthritis

Question 15

Why would you perform hip flexion

Answer 15

To help improve range of motion and flexibility and may also be beneficial for someone with osteoarthritis

Question 16

Why would you perform hip extension mobilisation

Answer 16

Helps improve hip mobility and reduces stress on the lumbar spine

Question 17

Why would you perform hip abduction mobilisation

Answer 17

Can help improve hip strength and function

Question 18

Why would you perform Internal/external rotation

Answer 18

To help improve hip mobility and and strength, which can help prevent pain and make day to day life easier

Question 19

What signs and symptoms would some get for an acetabular labral tear

Answer 19

Pain in the hip/groin/thigh
Clicking or locking
Hip stiffness
Instability
Limping
