What is Ely’s test
Femoral nerve stretch test - patient prone, flex knee and extend hip to stretch femoral nerve.
If patient is prone and knees are flexed, what does it mean if one knee is higher than the other? If one knee is more anterior than the other?
One knee is higher = longer tibia.
One knee is anterior = longer femur
Which ligament Limits extension, abduction, external rotation
Iliofemoral ligament
How do measure an apparent leg length discrepancy
Umbilicus to medial malleolus
Which motion of the hip is limited first in OA
Internal rotation
9 internal rotators of the hip
- TFL
- Adductor magnus, brevis, longus
- Gracilis
- Gluteus medius
- Gluteus minimus
- Semitendinosus
- Semimembranosus
