Plantar flexion, knee flexion
where does L1 dermatome start / where does it go
Starts at L1 and wraps around to the groind area
Where does L2 dermatome start, where does it go
Starts at L2 (so near botom of ribs) - not yet on hip
wraps down to upper anterior leg
Where does L3 dermatome start. Where does it go
Starts at L3
Wraps around and goes to middle of anterior leg
Where does L4 dermatome start?
Where does it go
Starts at L4
Wraps around leg goes right over anterior knee and down medial calf
Where does L5 dermatome start? where does it go
Starts at L5 and wraps around to lateral upper leg (goes lateral knee) then wraps to the middle of the calf then moves to medial 1/2 of dorsal / plantar surface of foot.
Where does S1 dermatome start? Where does it go
S1 dermatome satrts at S1 goes
Goes down the lateral posterior aspect of the hip (litteraly the alteral posterior half of hip) lateral anterior calf and lateral posterior 1/2 of calf then lateral 1/2 plantar/dorsal surface of foot
Where does S2 dermatome start? Where does it go?
Starts at S2
Travels down the medial posterior 1/2 of hip and calf (terminates before the foot)
KNOW S3-5 all on posterior surface of glutes w/ S5 being the most medial and inferior
What is the strongest risk factor that someone will have a fall? what about second most likely factor
Previous history of falling. Followed by fear of falling
Is Hip OA better or worse after activity?
Worse (once the activity is done they stiffen back up)
Is Hip OA better or worse at the end of the day?
Worse - because those msucles are tired / joints are stifening up / inflammed
Does Hip OA get better or worse w/ movement
Better - as long as the movement isnt to intense
What does hip OA feel like in the AM?
Stiff
Does hip OA get better or worse w/ prolonged sitting?
Worse (stiffness)
Why is hip OA associated w/ muscle weakness?
The pain around this joint keeps them from fully using them hip which quickly leads to atrophy - causing the muscle to be weaker
Why does hip OA cause balance issues
Think if they go into a trendelenberg to get away from affected side that causes them to already be off balance
Fear avoidance (fear of falling = increased risk of falling)
Altered joint mechanics - aka joints arent sending great proprioceptive information (because they’ve been damanged from taht general wear and tear) your body won’t know where it is in space - leading to an increased fall risk
Which age group is most likely to get hip OA? Which gender?
Women over 55
Where is pain from hip OA typically located?
Inguinal area (more medial) or trochanteric area. It sometimes extends to the anterior thigh/knee
Seems like its typically more inguinal but think the front of that leg
Does weight bearing increase or decrease hip OA pain?
INCREASE
remember - your distract pt’s w/ arthritis because they are already getting that bone on bone
How would a hip OA pt report their feeling in the hip in the morning?
More stiffness (motion is lotion)
How would someone w/ hip OA report their symptoms after sitting for an extended period of time?
Stiffness pain
What would someone w/ hip OA feel at night when changing positios?
Pain (reduced movement leads to that sutffness and pain)
also at night we have more inflamamtion - so that can also increase pain in the affected area
Why would someone with hip OA have more difficulty outting on socks and shoes?
Because that requires a lot of deep hip movements
A hip OA pt does aggressive exercise. What is the pain outcome
Increased pain - we want that mild EX to alliviate their symptoms
What is an outcome measure
Tool or test that helps doctors measure how well something is doing, It can be a simple questionaire, a test of physical abilities, or something else. - these neasyres guve a ckear way to see changes in health, the impact of treatments, or how something feels
What does the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) specifically measure?
Good at looking at hip OA (but i think it does arthritis in general)
Why wouldnt we use the LEFs test when assessing OA? (2)
Its not specifically for OA but the entire lower exteremity (LE)
Also, some of the stuff on here is realtively active (running / jumping) and pt’s w/ OA are typically older and can’t do these movements
Would someone with hip OA be good at sit to stand? Why or why not
No
Because they arent good at those deep motions
Could someone w/ hip OA have a positive trendelenburg? Why
Yes
Because trenedelnburg is caused by poor hip abductor (think glute med) strength. These muscles atrophy from disuse misuse w/ hip OA leading to this sign
What muscles atrophy the most with OA
Glutes
Patient is sitting with leg in what position clues us in that its an OA thing
Leg pointed out
ER/ABDUCTION/FLXN
Anything to try and open up that joint capsule
How many CM is leg length discrepency?
1.5 CM
KNOW: Hip OA pt’s can have leg length discrepencys
KNOW: Hip OA pt’s can present with genu valgum (knees in) or genu varum (knees out)
Ask and make sure it hasnt been there since childhood but some kind of boney change due to a change in posturing
What two motions are most limited w/ hip OA? which one is more limited?
Internal rotation is the most limited movement followed by hip flexion
NOTE: AB / EX is also somewhat limited (probs don’t memorize)
This is because these two motions close down the most on that joint capsule
Could we rule hip OA out if their hip can get full ROM (not motion resitrction) in every direction?
Yes
How many planes of motion need to be limited for us to be clued in that its hip OA?
3 or more
We would normally see limitations in IR/FLXN and Abduction or Extension
A patient is asked to go into hip flexion and stops because they can’t go any further. What is my next question?
What’s limiting you (pain vs tightness). Then where is that pain or tightness. How would you describe the pain. Is it the pain you came in with? (compariable sign)
Which two accessory movements are typically limited w/ hip OA? why?
Posterior / inferior glide
This makes sense. The hip is a convex on concave (opp). Internal rotation = anterior roll = posterior slide (joint assessment). Flexion/abduction = superior roll = inferior slide (asses)
which 3 muscles would we do MLT on for hip OA?
Hip Flexors
IT band
Piriformis
Which 2 muscles would we MMT for
Glute med (abduction) / glute max
atrophy of these two muscles are highly correlated w/ hip OA
We flex or hips a lot more than we extend them meaning glute max could be atrophing (+ extension is one of those movements we won’t be doing as much w/ hip OA)
Glute med because we stop abducting because it hurts and when we stop using it we start losing it.
Would we do a trendelenburg test for hip OA? Why
Not the best test
All it tells us is that the glutes are weak. It tests for that glute med abduction but nothing specific to OA
What movements are in the FABER test?
Flexion
Abduction
External rotation
Would we use a FABER test for hip OA? Why?
It kind of tests it but not specific to hip OA
What is a Scour test? Is it good for hip OA
Them jamming the hip in the acetabulum and then grinding the hip from a 12 a clock position to a 2 a clock position back and forth (out in out in)
Think a scouring pad to clean a dish
It’s good for figuring out if someone for sure doesnt have hip OA. If we do this test and there is no pain then the person almost def doesnt have hip OA. However, a posititve doesnt mean it is hip OA (could be a 100 other things)
What two imaging is done for hip OA
x-ray and MRI
What is the Clinical prediction rule for hip OA? How many factors do we need
1) Self-reported squatting as an aggravating factor (closing down the hip space - cramming down on the hip joint)
2) PASSIVE IR of involved side less than or equal to 25 degrees
3) Active hip flexion causes lateral hip pain (think about head moving laterally)
4) Active hip extension causes hip pain
5) Postitive Scour test w/ adduction (not when you scour out but when you scour in [maxiamlly closes down hip joint]) in the ground or lateral hip
NOTE: Hip OA pain is typically in the groin (anterior hip) or lateral hip (trochanteric area)
We need 4/5 of these to be posititve to rule in hip OA
If I move the lumbar spine and it doesnt reproduce latearl hip pain, then i bring the knee into deep flexion and have latearl hip pain and I thinking lumbar or hip issues?
Hip
What does CPR stand for?
Clinical prediction rule
Who gets femoral stress fractures more, men or women?
Women
