38
Q

Feel twinge or tearing during an AROM, may feel worse the next day with pain, weakness and bruising

A

Groin strain

39
Q

Thomas test

A

Athlete lies supine with legs together. ATC places hand under athletes lumbar curve. One thigh is brought to the chest, flattening the spine. Return bent leg to extended position, lumbar curve should return

40
Q

Positive test for Thomas

A

Extended thigh should be flat on the table, if not tight hip flexor

41
Q

What grade quad contusion has the following symptoms: Superficial bruise, mild hemorrhage, pain, no swelling, point tenderness and full ROM

A

Grade 1

42
Q

Quad contusion MOI

A

Direct blow to thigh

43
Q

Athlete lies supine with knees off table. Athlete brings one leg to their chest

A

Kendall test

44
Q

Positive Kendall test

A

If thigh comes off table = tight hip flexor

45
Q

Which quad contusion has the following symptoms: Deeper, pain, swelling, cannot flex knee more than 90 degrees

A

Grade 2

46
Q

What grade quad contusion has the following symptoms: moderate pain and swelling, limping, cannot flex

A

Grade 3

47
Q

What grade quad contusion has the following symptoms: disability, may split fasciae, severe pain, limited ROM

A

Grade 4

48
Q

Severe blow, or repeated blows (usually on the thigh) that produces ectopic bone production

Symptoms: pain, swelling, and decreased function

A

Myositis ossificans traumatica

49
Q

Most common injury to thigh, fatigue, faulty posture, leg length discrepancy, tight hamstrings

Symptoms: hemorrhage, pain, loss of function

A

Hamstring strain

50
Q

This is caused by repetitive movements in gymnasts, dancers, hurdlers, sprinters and cheerleaders

S/S: imbalance in muscle, IT band moves over greater trochanter pain

A

Snapping hip

51
Q

Athlete stands, foot on the unaffected side is limited. Look at the iliac crest to see if it stays level.

A

Trendelenburg

52
Q

Positive test for Trendelenburg

A

If the unaffected side lowers or if standing on leg and the affected hip moves into abduction = weak abductors

53
Q

Abutment of the acetabular rim and the proximal femur

S/S: anterolateral hip pain with prolonged sitting, leaning forward, getting in or out of a car, and pivoting in sports

A

Femoroacetabular impingement (hip impingement)

54
Q

How do you test for a hip impingement

A

FADIR (flexion, addiction, internal rotation of leg)

Positive if anterolateral pain is present

55
Q

Anterior palpation of the bony sites

A

ASIS
Iliac crest
Greater trochanter
Pubic tubercle (we don’t do this)

56
Q

Posterior palpation of the bony sites

A
PSIS
Ischial tuberosity (don’t do this either) 
Sacroiliac joint
57
Q

Which special test is this:

Athlete lies supine with legs straight. Measurement is taken between the medial malleolus and ASIS

Bilaterally compare

A

Anatomical discrepancy: actual bone is shortened

58
Q

Athlete lies supine with legs straight. Measurement is taken from umbilicus to the medial maleoli.

Bilaterally compare

A

Functional discrepancy: due to pelvic tilt or deformity

59
Q

How should you observe the hips during an assessment?

A

Should observe while standing in all directions, standing on one leg and walking

60
Q

What could you find looking at the front view of the hips?

A

If the hip is tilted laterally it could indicate a leg length discrepancy or muscle contraction on one side

Q

What could you find looking at the side view of the hips?

A
