PT Management of Selected Hip Pathology Flashcards
What are important features of adductor longus anatomy?
37.9% tendon 62.1 % muscle
poorly vascularized
What is common MOI for adductor injury?
eccentric load from hip extension to hip flexion, cutting and kicking
What are risk factors for adductor injury?
limited flexibility, muscle imbalance (most common), failed acute management
What is conservative management of adductor injury?
relative rest, strengthening adductor rectus axis, pelvic stability (core, glutes, lower abs)
What is common presentation of iliopsoas injury?
Bursa: internal snapping hip, tenderness, risk for labral tear
What is common presentation of a glute med/min tendinopathy?
common in females, pain on palpation and pain with sidelying
What is glute med/min tendinopathy often misdiagnosed as?
trochanteric bursitis
What is treatment for glute med/min injury?
address causing factors like ITB/TFL contracture (overworked from weak glute med), hip flexor contracture, pelvic obliquity, glute med weakness
Why do most hamstring injuries occur?
weakness in glute med.
What is common MOI for HS ?
sprinting during terminal swing/ preparing for contact- HS are lengthening but must also decelerate limb
What HS is put under greatest pressure during this MOI?
Biceps femoris
What is key of HS for both prevention and rehab?
eccentric ability/control
What is another common MOI for HS?
extreme stretch, hip flexion with knee extension like with soccer players or dancers
semi membranous and proximal free tendon
What area of HS requires longer time for rehab?
more proximal to ischial tube as there is less blood flow to this area
What must PT screen if pt has a proximal HS injury?
avulsion fracture
What are intrinsic risk factors for HS injury?
history of prior strain, older age, muscle weakness, flexibility(still unclear if true)
What potential muscle imbalance relationship must be looked at in HS pts?
greater than 20% muscle weakness in eccentric HS than concentric quads increase your risk by 4 fold for HS injury
What type of rehab has been shown in literature in providing better HS recovery?
progressive agility training and Trunk stabilization
According to JOSPT what is recommended for phase 1 of HS injury recovery?
protection- avoid stretching which will create more scar tissue, pain free movement
ICE-2-3 times daily
NSAIDS- initial time following injury but long term use could damage ms function
What are good therex in phase 1 according to JOSPT?
TA work, SL balance for glute work, short stride stepping drills
Phase 2 according to JOSPT?
full pain free ROM, ice only after exercise, no NSAIDS
Therex during phase 2 according to JOSPT?
submax eccentric movements for fiber regeneration, TA work, focus on transverse and frontal plane before sagittal work,
