Lecture 9 Kinesiology of the Hip Flashcards
What is the JT of the hip?
Coxofemoral JT
What is the CPP of the hip JT?
extension, internal rotation, abduction
What is the capsular pattern of the hip?
internal rotation, flexion, abduction (variable)
What is the typical dislocation of the hip JT?
posterior (85%), usually due to major trauma, ie: knees to dash MVA
What type of JT is the hip?
ball and socket synovial
What are the 3 main ligaments of the hip?
iliofemoral / Y ligament
pubofemoral ligament
ligamentum teres / ligament of head of femur
What is the zona orbicularis?
thickening of the joint capsule around the neck of the femur
The acetabulum faces what direction?
lateral, anterior and inferior
What direction does the femoral head face?
medial, anterior and superior
What is coxa varum?
occurs when the inclination of the femoral neck is less than 125 degrees.
What is coxa valgum?
occurs when the angle of inclination of the femoral neck is greater than 135 degrees
What is femoral anteversion?
occurs when the angle of torsion of the femoral neck is greater than 15 degrees. Results in toe-in stance
What is femoral retroversion?
occurs when the angle of torsion is less than 15 degrees, results in toeing-out
What are movements of the hip JT?
flex/ex
abd/add
internal/external rotation
What is the plane and axis of hip flex/ex?
medial lateral axis
sagittal plane
What is the plane and axis of hip ABD and ADD?
anterior posterior axis
frontal plane
What is the plane and axis of the hip IR/ER?
mechanical axis of the femur, no plane
What often accompanies decreased ROM at the hip?
compensatory increases at the pelvis and lumbar spine
