The Hip Overview Flashcards
How many degrees of freedom is in the hip?
3 degrees of freedom with 6 osteokinematic movements
Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction, IR, ER
What is a capsular pattern?
A joint specific pattern of restriction of PROM which indicates capsular tightness
What is the position of capsular restriction?
flexion
abduction
medial rotation (IR)
If stabiize the pelvic bone (?) more extension and medial rotation
What is the closed pack position of the hip?
Extension
Medial rotation
Abduction-adduction (?)
What is the open pack position of the hip?
Flexion
External rotation
- max surface contact
What is the anatomical characterisitics of the hip?
Has 4 bones that makes it symbiotic with innominate
What type of joint is the hip?
congruent joint - ball and socket
- making it a slide and glide movements
What is the function of the hip?
Mobility and stability
Transmission of forces between the pelvis and LE
How much force is needed to dislocate the hip?
400 newton pounds :0
That’s ALOT BROTHER
What are the primary blood supply of the femoral head?
- ligamentum teres
- circumflex arteries
- superior and inferior gluteal arteries
What is the function of the labrum?
a fibrocartilaginous tissue that is meant for:
- cushion
- slide and glide
What are the anterior ligaments?
Iliofemoral (Y)
Pubofemoral
What are the posterior ligaments?
Ischiofemoral
Ligametum teres
What does the ligamentum teres assist with?
90 degree flexion that helps with IR/ER
What are the two types of muscles in the body?
Stabilizers and movers
What are the primary stabilizers
Hip rotators and psoas
What are the flexors of the hip?
Iliacus
TFL
Rec fem
Sartorius
adductor longus
pectineus
Assistance from:
- gracilis
- adductor brevis
- anterior glute min
What are the extensors of the hip?
Glute max
Hammies
Posterior adductor magnus
Assistance from:
- glute med
