Ortho Exam One Flashcards

Q

When and how do we rule out the lumbar?

A

We rule out the hip when the client is presenting with pain in the pelvis/hip or leg and there has NOT been a history of injury to the hip

We rule out the lumbar with postural, joint play, close pack the joint, and myotome testing

Q

What are the functions of the pelvis?

A
  • the SI joints along with the symphysis pubis help to transfer weight from the spine to the lower limbs
  • provide elasticity to the pelvic ring
  • acts to decrease force of impacts to the spine and upper body caused by contact of the lower limbs with the ground

Q

Define upslip.

A

-the sacrum and ilium move independantly, when the SI joint locks, the sacrum moves up on the ilium and they move dependantly

Q

Why is it important to test for uplip?

A
  • pain may be on opposite side due to hypermobility
  • causes shift of pubic bones
  • iliums rotate

Q

Why do we find anomalies so often at the hip?

A
  • the pelvis is a stabilizing unit, the center of our balance/weight transfer occurs here as well as imbalance
  • there are multiple muscles that act on the pelvis that can cause disarticulation or influence the position of the pelvis
  • our lifestyles require alot of sitting which can alter the position of the pelvis as muscles become short or weak
  • root chakra is located here, which speaks to who we are, as we struggle without identity it can show up as physiological dysfunction
