hip & pelvis

Question 1

inferior glide of pubic bone via leg pull (pubic symphysis/ pubic joint)

Answer 1

EFFECT: increase inferior glide, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: stop if painful, CI’d if, this also tractions lumbar spine so if pathology or pain in lumbar spine discontinue

Question 2

distraction of pubic symphysis (indirect)

Answer 2

EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: caution if adductor strain, inguinal hernia or pubic pain

Question 3

axial distraction (acetabulofemoral/ hip joint)

Answer 3

EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: if sacroiliac or symphysis pubis unstable or if current groin or knee injury use caution

Question 4

medial glide of femur (acetabulofemoral/ hip joint)

Answer 4

EFFECT: increase hip ABD, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: if sacroiliac or symphysis pubis unstable, lumbar spine should be in neutral to avoid injury

Question 5

inferior glide of femur (acetabulofemoral/ hip joint)

Answer 5

EFFECT: increase hip flexion & ABD, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not lever hip

Question 6

posterior glide of femur (acetabulofemoral/ hip joint)

Answer 6

EFFECT: increase flexion & internal rotation, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: close to inguinal ligament, femoral nerve & artery use caution, place pillow under knee

Question 7

axial posterior glide of femur (acetabulofemoral/ hip joint)

Answer 7

EFFECT: increase flexion, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: sacroiliac joint instability, do not compress patella

Question 8

anterior glide of femur (acetabulofemoral/ hip joint)

Answer 8

EFFECT: increase extension, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress sciatic nerve, just lateral to ischial tuberosity, do not hyperextend hip-may stress sacroiliac joint

Question 9

axial posterior of sacroiliac joint (SI)

Answer 9

EFFECT: increase sacroiliac overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress patella

Question 10

superior glide of ilium on sacrum (SI joint)

Answer 10

EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: caution of compression to sciatic nerve

Question 11

inferior glide of ilium on sacrum (SI joint)

Answer 11

EFFECT: increase inferior glide of SI joint, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: CI’d for SI joint hypermobility & lumbar spine pathology, discontinue if painful

Question 12

distraction of sacroiliac joint (SI)

Answer 12

EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: CI’d if SI joint unstable
