Hip Testing: Active, Passive, Resistive, Mobility Flashcards
Active Movement Testing
- Supine
- Prone
Supine: 1. Active Hip Flexion with flexed knee 2. Active ER (roll out) 3. Active IR (roll in) 4. Active Abduction 5. Active Addiction Prone: 6. Active hip extension with flexed knee 7. active IR with flexed knee
Passive Movement Testing
- supine
- prone
Supine: 1. Passive Hip Flexion with flexed knee 2. Passive ER (roll out) 3. Passive IR (roll in) 4. Passive Abduction 5. Passive Addiction Prone: 6. Passive hip extension with flexed knee 7. Passive IR with flexed knee
What is the Capsular Pattern For the Hip?
Edit it add in flexion
Also look up 30-30-er
IR Extension from 0 Abduction flexion ER
Resisted Movement Testing
- position of patient
- type of testing
- what we say
- motions
- patient in supine in the resting position (30-30-ER) to put noncontractile tissues on slack
- isometric
- “dont let me push you” (then you push to make them do this isometrically)
8. Hip flexion
9. Hip extension
10. Hip abduction
11. Hip abduction
12. Hip ER
13. Hip IR
14. Knee Flexion
15. Knee Extention
Mobility Testing (3)
- Longitudinal Distraction
- Lateral Distraction
- Ventral Distraction
Mobility Testing
Longitudinal Distraction
- what is it
- position
- set up
- mobilization
- direction
inferior separation of femoral head from acetabulum, implication for hypomobility overall loss of movement (dont do if OA)
- position: supine, resting position
- set up: stabilize pelvis with aide or strap
- mobilization: hands at distal thigh or ankle and distract in caudad/distal direction by shifting weight back
Mobility Testing
Lateral Distraction
- what is it
- position
- set up
- mobilization
- direction
it is a distraction or glide laterally to take the femoral head out of the acetabulum, implication for hypomobility overall loss of movement
- position: supine, resting position
- set up: stabilize pelvis with aide or strap
- mobilization: hands at proximal medial thigh with my ulnar border as close to the inguinal crease as possible. stand at pt side and pull back laterally.
Mobility Testing
Ventral Distraction
- what is it
- position
- set up
- mobilization
- direction
anterior glide of the femoral head. implication for hypomobility: tight hip extension
-position: prone, trunkand pelvis on tx table
set up: do not need to stabilize in this position
mobilization: pt can have trunk/pelvis on tx table and other leg on floor, PT holds distal femur (knee in flexion) and other hand at proximal posterior of thigh close to the gluteal crease.
direction: push anteriorly: femur glides anteriorly in the acetabulum
FOR TIGHT EXTENSION
Tx of painful hip is direction dependent: T/F
it is not direction dependent (for tx of a stiff joint we do care about direction)
appropriate interventions:
1. pain before resistance: AROM limited more than 50% due to pain
- pain decreases
- pain decreases and ROM increases more than 50% range
- full range, no pain
- Resistance before pain
- grade 1 oscillation (then re-evaluate ROM)
- increase amplitude and repetitions (increase number of bouts of oscillations and increase the amt of movement that takes place in the joint within a pain free range)
- increase amplitude to grade 2 short of pain and do physiological movements as well
- now pain and resistance is at the same time so if it is a hard end feel it can only be grade 2 oscillations short of pain to reduce pain – if it is a capsular end feel we can stretch the joint capsule and use grade 3 or 4 to stretch to the end of the anatomical range into realm of pain only in subacute and chronic phase
- grade 3/4
Tx of Hip Pain (5)
- Anterior-Posterior Technique (hand is posterior to greater trochanter) [side]
- Longitudinal (hand is superior to greater trochanter) [side]
- Medial-Lateral (supine)
- Caudad/Distal (supine)
- Cephalic/Proximal (supine)
Tx of Painful Hip Anteror-Posterior -Rationale: -Position: -Motion: -Grade:
-Rationale: pain relief
-Position: side lie, resting position (pillow btwn legs)
-Motion: thumbs posterior to greater trochanter with hands on thigh
-Movement: oscillation at a steady state, 1-2 per second for 20 seconds
-Grade: Grade 1 and 2
(of pushing a flys back you wouldnt bend his knees)
Tx of Painful Hip Longitudinal -Rationale: -Position: -Motion: -Grade:
- Rationale: pain relief
- Position: sidelie, pillow btwn legs, resting position
- Motion: therapists thumbs superior to greater trochanter (stand above greater trochanter at an angle)
- movement: superior to inferior direction along length of femur longitudinally
- Grade: Grade 1 and Grade 2
Tx of Painful Hip Medial-Lateral -Rationale: -Position: -Motion: -Grade:
- Rationale: pain relief [since not at hip, good for post surgery]
- Position: supine, resting position, pillow under knees
- Motion: therapist hands on distal femur and proximal tibia
- Movement: medial to lateral (looks like IR)
- Grade: 1 and 2
Tx of Painful Hip Caudad/Distal -Rationale: -Position: -Motion: -Grade:
- Rationale: pain relief
- Position: supine, resting position, pillow under knees
- Motion: hands on distal femur
- Movement: caudal/distal direction (you should feel the femoral condyles, it is similar to the distraction)
- Grade: 1 and 2
Tx of Painful Hip Cephalic/Proximal -Rationale: -Position: -Motion: -Grade:
- Rationale: pain relief [good for patients with pain at heel strike and WB on full leg hurts hip]
- Position: supine, resting position, pillow under knees
- Motion: hands on distal femur and proximal tibia
- Movement: cephalic/proximal (do not just slide soft tissue)
- Grade: 1 and 2
- can also be done at tibia
- grade 3 and 4 for weight bearing
