Q

what is a maneuver to measure leg length discrepancy true vs apparent?

A

weber-barstow maneuver

Q

what are normal values for hip IR?

A

0-45º

22
Q

what is the capsular pattern at the hip?

A

limitation in flexion, abduction and IR
max loss IR, moderate loss flexion, and moderate loss abduction
minimal loss of extension = greater functional limitation than the same loss of flexion

23
Q

what is a positive scour test/ quadrant test?

A

pain, grinding, catching or crepitation in the hip- concern for intra-articular pathology (OA, labral pathology, osteochondral defect, or osteonecrosis)

24
Q

how is the scour test/quadrant test perfromed?

A

patient supine. PT flex to 90º and IR/add, then flex ER/add

25
Q

what is the anterior labral tear test (FADIR) for?

A

the examination of the femoracetabular impingement syndrome or an anterior labral tear

26
Q

how is the anterior labral tear test performed?

A

patient supine, flexion, adduction, internal rotation

27
Q

what is important to remember with FABER test/Patrick’s test/Figure-four?

A

compare bilaterally for ROM and pain (with overpressure)
can be used as a comparable sign

28
Q

if a patient has decreased ROM with FABER test what is it indicative of?

A

hypomobile SI or hip joint, or tight adductors/hip flexors

29
Q

if a patient reports pain with FABER test what is it indicative of?

A

PSIS/buttocks- SI/lumbar spine pathology
GT/thigh- intra-articular hip joint pathology
knee- meniscal pathology

30
Q

how is FABER test performed?

A

patient supine, flexion, abduction, ER

31
Q

how many zones are there in the flexion-adduction test?

A

3

32
Q

in a normal population what zone should a patient be able to adduct to in the flexion-adduction test?

A

1

33
Q

if a patient can only get to zone 2 or 3 they may have pathologic changes (limitation secondary to pain, apprehension, or limited end rage) what could it be indicative of?

A

children: legg-calve-perthes disease and SCFE
adults: sinister pathology like fracture, cancer

34
Q

what 3 muscles are being tested in the thomas test (3 muscle kendall test)?

A

iliopsoas: hip flex, and hip ER
rectus femoris: hip flex, and knee extension
TFL/ITB: hip flex, and hip abduction

35
Q

during ober test what is indicative of a tight ITB?

A

< 10º hip add

36
Q

for craig’s test what defines femoral anteversion?

A

more than 15º

37
Q

for craig’s test what defines femoral retroversion?

A

less than 8º

38
Q

what movements are assessed with MMT?

A

flexion/extension/abduction/adduction/ IR/ER of hip
flexion and extension of knee

39
Q

what does a positive trendelenburg test indicate?

A

organic hip abductor weakness
hip compression load intolerance (hip OA or labral tear)
trohchanteric bursitis/ iliotibial band syndrome
S1 myotome involvement

40
Q

what does the patellar-pubic percussion test test for?

A

fracture of hip

41
Q

how is the patellar-pubic percussion test performed?

A

tap patella or use tuning fork- asses qualitatively the sound bilaterally

42
Q

what is a positive patellar-pubic percussion test?

A

diminished percussion note on side of pain

43
Q

what is a negative patellar-pubic percussion test?

A

no difference bilaterally

44
Q

what is the FAIR test?

A

60º hip flexion
90º knee flexion
hip add to table
passive IR of hip to end range

45
Q

what is a positive FAIR test?

A

pain at intersection of sciatic nerve and piriformis

46
Q

what is the open pack position of the hip?

A

30º flex, 30º abd, slight (5º) ER

47
Q

what is the closed pack position of the hip?

A
