Lecture 5 (Hip interventions) Flashcards

1
Q

What should you tell someone w/ OA about their condition?

A

There is inflammation and irritation within your joint, but movement can help clear some of that inflammation and make you feel better

Q

Pt walks in w/ severe hip OA. Your first thought is to get them doing aerobic exercise to get the blood flowing. It is quickly obivous that this is not going to work. What is a less intense option we can do to get their blood flowing?

A

Aquatic EX (this off loads the joint, however you will want to eventually get them on land)

Q

KNOW: Exercise is the strongest intervention for OA

NOTE: we also need to work on ROM so that we can strengthen in a full ROM

Also make the EX functional or they wont want to do it - you need to make this EX specififc to your pts

Q

In a pt w/ acute hip OA what modalities would we use? (4)

Would you use thes modaltities before or after therapy?

A

Heat
Ice
ultrasound (only on really superficial areas of the hip)
E-stem (overwhelming system so we don’t sense the pain)

It’s up to you to decided before vs after

Q

When would we choose heat over ice (2)

A

If theres no inflammation

pt preference if theres no inflammation (ask them what feels better then we can get them exercising)
* I’m guessing you would typically lean toward heat before to get the blood flowing to that area and lean to ice after to calm it down.

Q

KNOW: most manual therapy for hip OA is those arthrokinemtaic movements + distract / traction. Lateral glides also do really well w/ lots of hip pts

Soft tissue work for these individuals is typically ischemic release (trigger point release) –> think pushing on iliopsoas / glute med / piriformis / TFL

KNOW: Lumbar manipulation might also help hip pain pts due to regional interdependence (especially for those pts that don’t want u messing w/ hip)

Q

What is the biggest advantage to an anterior THA appraoch?

A

Low dislocations

46
Q

What is the biggest disadvantage to an anterior THA?

A

Glute med weakness (need to cut through it)

47
Q

KNOW: Anterior is becoming more common because they don’t have to cut through too much muscle (pull muscles apart don’t cut through) - however - is becoming more common

A
48
Q

Why does the THA anterior appraoch have a low dislocation rate?

A

Because instead of cutting through the muscles they’re able to pull them apart –> leading to that lower dislocation rate

49
Q

An Elhers Danlos pt walks into your clinic and you notice they’ve had a hip replacement. What kind of hip replace did they most likely have done and why?

A

Anterior hip location because of its lower idslocation rate

Any of those connective tissue / lax joint issues get ones done w/ lower dislocation rate (note: we want chronic dislocaters to get the surgery that has the least dislcoations)

50
Q

Which kind of hip replacement invloves releasing the abductors form the greater trochanter?

A

Direct Lateral approach

51
Q

What is the advantage to a direct latearl appraoch to hip replacements?

A

Lower idslocations (however anterior is still less)

52
Q

What are the disadvantages to a direct latearl appraoch for THA?

A

increased chance of getting a limp

53
Q

Which THA appraoch would you expect was done if pt comes into the clinic w/ a trendelenburg gate?

A

Direct Lateral (highest limp rate)

This makes sense, this appraoch is litteraly discontecting the abductors from the greater trochanter - and weak abductors = trendelenburg gate

54
Q

What is the most common THA approach?

A

Posteriolateral appraoch

55
Q

What is the biggest advantage of a posterolateral approach to a THA? Why?

A

Low incidence of limp. They essentially are able to pull the glute med up and work around it instead of cutting through it - which leads to less gate problems because the muscle wasnt cut through

56
Q

What is the biggest disadvantage of a posteriolateral apporach?

A

Dislocations

(think because they need to go through more muscles because they’re going form the back side)

57
Q

KNOW: basically the reason that the posteriolatearl approach is the most common is because it has the least likely chance to cause a limp in a pt

A
58
Q

How long after surgery can you get up with a THA?

A

Day - no wt bearing precautions

59
Q

What is the biggest disadvantage of cemented THA?

A

It can break open and cause gangreen

60
Q

KNOW: Most hip THA are WBAT

A
61
Q

KNOW: DVT can happen have THA. Normally 2 weeks - 3 months after

A
62
Q

What is heterotopic ossification?

A

Abnormal bone growth within the muscle (can happen after THA)

63
Q

KNOW: Leg length discrepencies can happen after THA

A
64
Q

KNOW: You can have nerve damage w/ hip THA

Should be able to know what peripheral nerve was most likely innvolved depending on what appraoch was taken and where the numbness is

A
65
Q

When do most hip dislocations happen after THA?

A

1-2 months after

Typically this far out because this is when they’ve gotten comfertable moving again

66
Q

How long do hip precautions normally last for THA?

A

12 weeks - life long

67
Q

Can you break hip precaustions in therapy? Why?

A

Yes, because its the combination of them not just one motion

68
Q

Would crossing legs while sitting break hip precautions for someone w/ an anterior or posteriorlatearl THA?

A

Posteriorlateral

Adduction / Flexion / Internal rotation

69
Q

What are posteriorlateral hip pre caustions?

A

No flexion past 90
No internal rotation past neutral
No adduction past midline

70
Q

What are hip precautions for someone w/ an anterior hip replacement?

A

No abduction
No extension beyond neutral
No medial rotation past neutral

71
Q

KNOW: w/ a posterior THA were worried about dislocating posterior and w/ anterior were worried about dislocating anterior

A
72
Q

What singular motion can someone w/ inter trochatneric hip replacement not do?

A

abduction - can be done passively not actively (don’t want to stress glute med)

73
Q

How long does a THA last?

A

20 years (active = less)

74
Q

KNOW: Indications for a THA revision

Disabling pain
Stiffness
Functional Impairment
Bone loss on radiograph
Implant loosening on radiograph
Fracture
Recurrent dislocation
Infection

A
75
Q

KNOW: Typicaly Post-op impairments:

Edema
Pain
Impaired motor contorl
Impaired ROM
Impaired gait
Impaired balance

A
76
Q

When is home health indicated for rehab following THA

A

When they arent community ambulators and can’t get out

77
Q

THA pt asks “when can I drive’

A

talk to doctor - I didn’t take them
* PT’s cannot remove this
* But usually 6-8 weeks - use a pillow

78
Q

THA pt “Can a lay on my side”

A

Usually no, only if you use a pillow to keep legs from crossing (breaking hip precautions)

79
Q

THA pt “can I lay on stomach”

A

Sure

80
Q

THA pt “does it matter what side of the bed I sleep on”

A

night stand on non surgical side so that you can step out of bed instead of trying to roll across (non surgical side on edge side) - sleep on the side of the bed that does not have issues

81
Q

what kind of toilet should THA pts use?

A

raised toilet (doesnt break flexion restrictions)

82
Q

KNOW: Tell THA pts to avoid funiture that dips down due to hip flexion resitrcions

A
83
Q

Can THA pt’s go up stairs?

A

Yes, never breaks that 90 degrees of hip flexion

84
Q

KNOW: For THA post-op

Must know surgical approach
Must know cemented vs non cemented

Goals for rehab:
* Pain free motion of the hip
* Independent ambulation w/o gait deviations
* Functional independence in ADL’s

A
85
Q

What are muscle setting exercises?

A

Isometric (think muscle sitting still)

86
Q

What are quad sets?

A

Just contracting your quads without using them

quad sets, gluteal sets are typically prescribed in the acute phase after THA

87
Q

Can someone w/ a recent posteriolatearl THR bent over to pick up stuff?

A

No, this is still hip flexion passed 90

88
Q

What stage of THA post-op should you beging cardio interventions?

A

Acute - Its never too early!!

89
Q

KNOW: Start LE strengthening / weightbearing in the acute phase (that proably means they’re doing body wt stuff on a mat)

A
90
Q

When should you start closed kinetic chain EX when a THA pt

A

2 week mark (think shallow squats (not breaking 90)

91
Q

When should you start anti gravity movements after THA?

A

2 weeks

92
Q

KNOW: Need to work on balance work w/ THA (saftey and gets all the muscles working)

A
93
Q

What should you avoid doing w/ FAI?

A

Deep hip flexion

94
Q

KNOW: Its important to individualize hip FAI treatment because there can be several different causes to it (cam, pincer, mixed - can be tight anterior capsule of hip)

A
95
Q

What two areas do we need to strengthen w/ FAI / Labral tears?

A

Hip / Trunk

96
Q

What arthro kinematic would be best for hip FAI?

A

Hip inferior glide

this is because deep hip flexion makes the pain w/ this worse (think because those cam / pincer deformities are pushing down making it painful)

Also lateral distraction / distraction helps because its pulling apart those capsules

Also stretching helps these pts

97
Q

What positions would someone w/ hip FAI (or labral tear) want to avoid due to pain?

A

Hip flexion, IR, ADD

This is because all of these motions work together and compress down on that labrum

98
Q

KNOW: Tight anterior joint capsule / musculature could be involved w/ FAI / Labral tears (could stretch anterior)

A
99
Q

what kind of motions are bad for hip FAI / Labral tears?

A

repetitive motions that go into deep hip flexion IR / add

100
Q

With FAI / Labral tear we normally have weak muscles where and tight ones where?

A

Weak posterior tight anterior

Glute med / max = weak
TFL / ilipsoas / rec fem = tight

101
Q

What range should you strengthen hip FAI / Labral tear pts w/ first?

A

Mid range

early range (stretched) = bad overlap

end range = to far into that flexion = bad

NOTE: its important to strengthen core as well for these - anytime you’re moving your legs you’re really using your core

102
Q

What percent of FAI / Labral tears return to sport?

A

57% but only 30% get back to full (bad)

surgery is not great for this either

103
Q

Greater Trochanter Pain syndrome = gluteal tendinopathy = greater trochanteric bursitits

A
104
Q

What is the most common thing that we do chronically that brings on greater trochanter pain syndrome?

How do we help manage it?

A

Sitting at a desk = adaptive shortening of glute med

managed by fixing posture (especially when sleeping = compressing on bursa needs to be fixed)

105
Q

Do extra articular issues (such as greater trochanteric pain syndrome) do well with distraction?

A

No - doesnt help

106
Q

If I distract the hip and it hurts worse am I thinking its extra articular or intra?

A

Extra

If it was inside the capsule we’d be specifically targeting it w/ distraction (or any arthro kinematics) –> however those extranal things are just stretchde in a way they don’t like which makes them not do well w/ distraction / arthrokinematics

107
Q

KNOW: Glute med inserts on the greater trochanter

A
108
Q

KNOW: We want to do abduction strengthening things w/ greater trochanteric pain syndrome (because abductors are the issue) and avoid adduction strengthening because that is going to stertch the muscle

Think doing a lateral step up would help a lot

A
109
Q

For greater torchanteric pain syndrome what is the most important thing to strengthen

A

Glute med w/ abduction (because it inserts on the greater trochanter)

NOTE: if you’re going to do any stretching you should work on stretching TFL because its going to try and do all that abduction for glute med and is going to get really taut
