347
Q

Superior gluteal nerve entrapment/injury

  • Hip surgery
348
Q

symptoms of Superior gluteal nerve entrapment/injury

A
  • Weak hip abductors (gluteus medius and minimus, TFL)

- Trendelenburg gait

349
Q

Trendelenburg Test

A

Test the hip abductors (gluteus medius and minimus, TFL) innervated by the superior gluteal nerve

350
Q

Negative Trendelenburg Test

A
  • the pelvis remains level
  • Muscle contraction of the gluteus medius/minimus/ TFL on the unsupported (stance) side pulls the pelvis down (This keeps the unsupported side from dropping)
351
Q

Positive Trendelenburg Test (Trendelenburg sign)

A

Single leg standing on involved side, pelvis drops on unsupported (swing) side.

352
Q

what can cause a postiive trendelenburg test

A

hip frx or dislocation

353
Q

Trendelenburg Gait (Lurch):

A

excessive lateral lean to keep center of gravity over supported leg while walking

354
Q

safe area of infragluteal injections

A
  • superolateral quadrant
  • above line from PSIS to greater trochanter tip
  • Triangular area between ASIS, tubercle of crest, greater trochanter
355
Q

Inferiorgluteal nerve entrapment/injury

Caused by

A
  • Hip surgery

- Injection related injury

356
Q

Inferiorgluteal nerve entrapment/injury symptoms

A

Weak hip extension
Weak lateral rotation
Gluteus maximus gait (Gluteal lurch or lurch gait)

357
Q

Gluteus maximus gait (Gluteal lurch or lurch gait)

A

During gait, the trunk lurches backwards at heel-strike on the affected side
(Keep center of gravity behind the hip)

358
Q

primary hip extensors during walking

A

hamstrings

359
Q

Normally the___ contracts at heels-strike, this slows the forward motion of the trunk and the flexion movement caused by the hip flexors.
