Q

Coxa Vara- Pathologically Smaller Inclination Angle

A

<125⁰; Increases moment arm for abductor muscles, so need less muscle force, but creates greater bending and shear stress in the femoral neck and reduces ROM.

Q

Anteversion (pathologically high angle)

A

Toe in; Coxa valga; >20⁰; internal rotation during gait; causes adductor moments at the knee and ankle, also may cause posterior positioning of GRF
during propulsion effectively reducing the lever arm of
the triceps surae; decreases propulsion you get from the triceps surae

Q

Retroversion (pathologically low angle)

A

Toe out; <20⁰; external rotation during gait (duck-footed walk); may cause posterior positioning of GRF
during propulsion effectively reducing the lever arm of
the triceps surae.

42
Q

Pelvifemoral rhythm

A

like scapulohumeral rhythm of the shoulder. To maximize the apparent range of motion of the distal segment (in this case the head) multiple joints
are used in concert; not pathologic but rather characteristic of normal functional human movement. Caution is only warranted with injuries and heavy loaded human movement.

E.g., touching your toes, roundhouse kick (rhythm allows end effector- toes- to reach higher target)
E.g., Posterior Pelvic tilt at deepest part of squat (achieve apparent ROM of hip flexion)

43
Q

Lateral trunk lean towards the side of pain or weakness

A

Helps by:
• Reduces the moment arm of the force of gravity which reduces the required muscle force needed to maintain equilibrium

• Reduces necessary torque generated by the
abductor muscles (gluteus medius)

• Reduces the overall joint reaction force at the hip

44
Q

Cane in Contralateral Hand

A

• Reduces weight of Head, Arms, Torso (HAT), but also provides a counter torque to
the torque of gravity thus reducing need for abductor muscle force.
• Canes considered to relieve hip of up to 60% of its load in stance

45
Q

Cane in Ipsilateral Hand

A

• Still some benefit from alleviating some of the body weight through the cane
• But in theory the force of the cane on the hand causes a torque about the affected
hip in the same direction at the torque due to gravity
• Overall exacerbates the problem
