Thigh and Hip Flashcards
whats the only muscle that crosses the hip?
rectus femoris. (extends knee and flexes hip)
muscle that crosses knee?
hamstrings (flexes knee and extends the hip)
Quadriceps contusion MOI
direct crushing force to quadriceps
acute single moi
extent of force and degree of ______ influences depth and functional disruption
thigh relaxation (braced/prepared for impact vs someone more relaxed injury is worse)
signs and symptoms of quadricep contusion 2 things
pain with temporary loss of function
early swelling with palpable painful region
Quad contusion management:
-POLICE
-ongoing use of ice/compression until rom increases
whats essential for management of quad contusion?
Early pain free ROM and loading in a pain free range are essential
Early management of quad contusion:
- cryotherapy with gentle stretching
-transition to heat
-tensor to compression ADL
Quad contusion return 2 play management:
-be able to return 2 play
-protection via equipment
-ongoing management of effusion and muscle tightness likely necessary
Quadriceps muscle strain MOI most common:
overstretching if quadriceps at knee (flexion) and hip (extension)
another less common MOI of quad muscle strain:
-forceful abrupt activation of quad in a compromised position
Quad muscle strain sign and symptoms:
pain, point tenderness, spasm
Quad muscle strain sign and symptoms loss of function:
knee flexion, hip extension,hip flexion and knee extension strength
GRADE 1 quad muscle strain sign and symptom: 5 things
1.tightness in front of thigh
2.Near normal gait and mobility
3.Limited swelling
4.mild discomfort during palpation
5.some discomfort with isolated quadricep contraction
GRADE 2 quad muscle strain sign and symptom: 4 things
1.antalgic gait (limited ROM @ knee and pain)
2.swelling (firm with bogginess)
3.Pain on palpation, possible defect in muscle
4. resisted knee extension and hip flexion will reproduce pain with moderate strength
GRADE 3 quad muscle strain sign and symptom:
-can’t weight bear
-lots of pain palpation
-unable to perform active knee extension
-pain with resisted knee extension and hip flexion
-isometric contractions may produce defect or bulge in muscle
-rect fem feel deformity
management of grade 1 quad strain:
wrapped during ADL and activity to reduce discomfort
management of grade 2 quad strain:
ice and compression during acute phase with gradual increase in pain free knee ROM as pain and hesitation subsides
management of grade 3 quad strain:
crutch use for 7-14 with compression
quad muscle strain rehab progression
isometric at multiple ranges
concentric only bilateral strengthening
concentric eccentric loading
eccentric overloading
plyometric/maximal effort
hamstring muscle strain MOI:
-hamstring and quad contract together
-dynamic change in role from hip extender to knee flexor
-fatigue posture, lack of flexibility and strength imbalances
hamstring strain is a
intrinsic non contact injury
hamstring strain most often occurs _________ or __________
mid muscle belly, or closer to orgin
Grade 1 hamstring muscle strain sign and symptoms:
-soreness during movement and point tenderness
Grade 2 hamstring muscle strain sign and symptoms:
-sharp snap and tear sensation
-severe pain
- loss of function
-bruising and deformity
