hip pathologies Flashcards
what is OA?
degenrative condition affecting joints
damage to joint surface
irregular loss of ac
Why does a joint w/ OA become hypo-mobile over time?
thickening of the subchondral bone
what happen to the muscles around a joint affected by OA?
muscles are hypertonic due to aims to provide more stability
what happens to the ligament and capsule as they try to stabilize joint w/ OA
stress that leads to irritation/thickening and scar tissue leading to joint hypomobility
what happens to bones as a result oif the increase tension on the ligaments and capsule due to OA
increase tension leads to stress on bone and it will try to heal itself; as such osteophytes will form and lead to deformity
what are the most common risk factors associated w/ OA
- females
- age
- stress/abnormal loadingh
- overuse
- previous injury to the joint
- obesity
- joint misalignment
- underloading
how does OA compare to RA
OA tends to be assymetrical
characteristics of OA
pt > 50 asymmetrical pain am stiffness < 30 min swellinh loss ROM weak surrounding ms
how to assess for hip OA?
- presence of pain in the hip and
IR hip < 15 degrees and ESR less or equal to 45 degree mm/H OR hip IR greater or equal to 15 degreres and am stiffness less than 60 min and over 50 yo
where is the pain site for hip OA
Groin deep Buttocks Anterior thigh Knee (referred) Pain site will be asymmetrical
what is the MOI for hip OA
insidious onset
progressive disease
what is the pain pattern for hip OA
initially c/o pain
over time c/o stiffness and decreased ROM
w/ hip OA what is generally the first mvmt to be limited?
flexion
what muscles may be atrophied w/ hip OA?
glute med and max
what functional tests can be performed to assess for hip
unilateral WB trendelenberg proprioception pain w/ squatting gait assessment
what are the stages of OA?
- ms reaction, mvmt reaction
- contracture
- bone ankylosing, osteophytes
what happens to ROM in the first stage of OA?
reduced IR especially w/ hip extended, decreased flexion, add, decreased FABER
decreased extensioon, abd, ir in CPP
how is the hip EF w/ OA in the first stage?
hypertonicity
how is EF in 2nd stage of hip OA?
early Capsular
loss of IR > flexion, abd > extension
how is the EF in the 3rd stage of hip OA?
bone to bone
what is often a cause for back pain in pts?
hip problems
how is risom in pts w/ hip OA?
weakness or inhibition w/o pain often due to glute weakness
how is palpation in pt w/ hip OA?>
pain around ms joint
ms may have increased tone and tension
what are some hip OA questionnaires that can be used?
WOMAC
LEFS
HHS
what conservative Rx can be used for OA
- pt education on lifestyle modifications
- pain management and self management
- weight control
What can be used to treat for pain of oa?
ice
tens
ifc
how can hypertonicity be reduced in oa?
static distraction traction compression massage STT dry needling
how to improve flexibility w/ hip OA?
HEP
massage
how to improve ROM w/ hip OA?
AROM/PROM
passive acessory glides of the hip
how can traction be helpful to joints w/ oa?
improves cartilage nutrition and lubrification
how to improve str?
w/ reduced pain go from NWB to WB
what is the GLAD program?
clinical guidelines for Rx of the hip and knee OA in order to proved high quality care
