Lab - Hip Anatomy & Special Tests Flashcards
2 bones of the hip joint?
Acetabulum
Femoral head
The hip joint is what kind of joint?
Mulitaxial ball and socket
Ligaments of the Hip joint and function?
Lig. of teres (nutrients and proprioception)
Transverse (Acetabular) lig. -> Completes the circle of the acetabulum
Iliofemoral lig. (Y lig. of bigelow) –>anterior reinforcement, prevents overextension
Ischiofemoral (posterior reinforcement)
Pubofemoral (inferior and anterior reiforcement, prevents overabduction
What is the Actebabular labrum?
rim of fibrocartilage, increase the depth of the acetabulum
Hip synovial membrane?
Lines the fibrous capsule
Anterior Hip mscs?
Iliacus
Psoas
TFL
Iliacus and Psoas combined = what?
The Iliopsoas which acts as hip flexor and inserts at the lesser trochanter
Posterior and superficial Hip mscs (Glutes) + actions?
Glute max = primary hip extensor
Glute med = hip abduction and stabilization of pelvis during single-leg stance of gait
Glute min = same actions as glute med
6 Deep posterior hip mscs, action and insertion?
All do Hip ER
Piriformis
Superior Gemelli
Inferior Gemelli
Oburator Internus
Oburator Externus
Quadratus Femoris
All insert on greater trochanter
Hip Bursae?
Iliopsoas (lesser trochanter)
Ischial (sitting bones)
(deep) Trochanteric - under the TFL
Thomas Test - purpose and protocol?
Patient lies on back with one knee up to chest
and other hangs off edge of bed
- Can knee rest at 90 degrees? “ quads tightness
- Can thigh rest on table? “ iliopsoas tightness
- Is leg slightly abducted? “ TFL/lat.thigh tightness
Faber Test - purpose and protocol?
test for hip/ SI joint pathology
- flex, abd, Ext, rotation
Renne’s Test - purpose and protocol?
TFL/ IT band tightness
- Single leg stand, dip to 30-40°
- Positive test = pain at lateral femoral condyle
Noble’s Compression Test - purpose and protocol?
TFL/ IT band tightness
- supine lying/ sit on edge of table
- Knee and hip flexed, then extend knee while applying pressure to lateral femoral epicondyle
- Positive test = pain at 30° flex
Ober’s Test - purpose and protocol?
TFL/ IT band tightness
- side lying
- passively abduct top leg and then allow to adduct with pelvis support
- Positive test = not able to adduct leg
Trendelenburg Test - purpose and protocol?
Glute med weakness
- standing - have patient lift one leg off ground and watch pelvis to see if it drops or stays level
- Positive test = pelvis drops = glute med weakness on standing leg side
Piriformis Test - purpose and protocol?
Piriformis tightness
- Side lying, with top knee flexed
- stabilize pelvis and gently apply pressure on affected leg into adduction and IR over edge of the table
- Positive test = deceased ROM and pain in but
Ely’s Test - purpose and protocol?
For Rectus Femoris tightness
- lie prone
- knee bent at to 90°
- slowly bend knee further
Postive test =AIIS/ ASIS lifts of bed (hip flexes)
Length Length Discrepancy Test (LLD) - purpose and protocol?
LLD
Anatomical (true)
- Measure medial malleolus to ASIS
Functional (Apparent)
- measure medial malleolus to belly button
