Inominate Rotation Flashcards
TART
check for TTA on abdomen, quads, thights, lower back, back thighs, butt, hamstrings
Trendelenburg tests
- Pt stands
- Lifts one foot by ending at the knee.
- Get behind pt and look at their pelvis.
- test: pelvis of unsupported side drops telling us glut medius weakness on standing leg.
Ex. L hip drops= R gluteus medius weakness
Thomas Test
- Pt lays on back
- Pulls knees to chest
- Lowers one leg to take
+ test: gap is present tell us tight hip flexor
Ober Test
- Pt lays on side with hips and knees flexed
- Stabilize hip
- Abduct and extend upper leg
- Bring leg back to the table
* + test: leg does not adduct back to the table -> IT band contracture
- Bring leg back to the table
Osteopathic Evaluation of Innominate
- Standing Flexion Test OR ASIS Compression Test to determine side of dysfunction
- RESET HIPS
- Evaluate for rotations and/or shears
- PSIS Height
- ASIS Height
- Iliac Crest Height
- Medial Malleoli Height
- Evaluate for inflares or outflares
* a. ASIS to Midline - Evaluate for pubic dysfunction
* a. Pubic Tubercles
Standing Flexion Test
- Pt stands up and youre behind them bent down with your hands on their PSIS.
- Have pt bend forward and try to touch toes
- Watch movement of your fingers
+ test: one PSIS moves further than the other, indicating an SI joint dysfunction on that side.
What do you do before a supine eval?
RESET hip; bend knees, place feet flat on the table and lift hips off the table; go back down
ASIS compression test
+ test: hard end feel indicated SI joint dysfunction on that side
PSIS height
Have patient lay down on stomach and place thumbs BELOW the PSIS.
Push UP and note which one is more superior.
ASIS height
- Have patient lay down on back and place thumbs on inferior part of ASIS.
- Push up and note which one is more superior.
Iliac crest heights
- check heights of iliac crest and note is one is more superior than the other.
Medial malleoli height.
- Touch inferior part of medial malleoli and note which is more superior.
ASIS to midline
- tell pt to touch BB
- measure the distance between ASIS and umbilicus
- Note which has an increase in distance.
Pubic tubercles
Use palm to move down to the public tubercles, starting at the suprapubic area
Note any pain upon palpation
L/R Anterior Innominate Rotation
- Standing flexion: + on side of dysfunction
- PSIS- more superior on side of dysfunction
- ASIS- more inferior on side of dysfunction
- Malleoli- inferior
- Iliac crests: even
