Hip Lecture Flashcards
Hip functions
Supports weight of load, arms, trunk
Static & Dynamic
Pathway for transmission of forces between pelvis & lower extremities
Mechanical stresses on hip
Tensile, torsional, compressive loading SLS: 2.4-2.6x Walking: 1.3-5.8x Stairclimbing: 3x Running: 4.5+x
Compressive Forces
Body Weight
Muscular Activity
Process of differential diagnosis
85% of the info for accurate dx is acquired during the subjective exam
3 deciding questions:
appropriate for this pt
appropriate w/ additional referral
inappropriate for PT at this time
Categorizing sources
Local neuro/mesculoskeletal - Intra-articular - Extra-articular Remote/referred neuro/musculoskeletal Systemic sources
Intra-articular causes
Ball & Socket articulation (femur/pelvis)
Impressive Load Transmission & ROM
Open & closed kinetic chain, compression/shear forces
Refer pain to anterior groin, buttock, greater trochanter, anterior thigh, medial knee
Intra-articular
Femur/Acetabulum - stress fx, bone bruise, chondral lesions, bone spurs/OA
Acetabular Labrum, tears
Transverse Acetabular Ligament - sprain/strain
Joint Capsule/synovium - strain or inflammation
Ligamentum Teres - tear/strain
Intra-articular: additional
Local infection Septic arthritis Neoplasm (tumor) Avascular necrosis DDH, birth LCP, 6-10 years SCFE, 11-14 years
Extra-articular
Ligament sprain -Inguinal -Iliofemoral -Pubofemoral -Ischiofemoral Muscle Strain/Tear -Superficial & deep flexors, adductors, extensors, rotators Bursitis Iliopsoas bursa Trochanteric bursa Ishiogluteal bursa
