wk 8- Hip, pelvis, lumbar Flashcards
Red flags (10)
-high speed impact/history of trauma
-fever
-constant pain
-unwell
-unexplained weight loss
-bowel/bladder dysfunction (painful urination, incontinence, retention)
-myotomal muscle weakness
-gait alteration
-saddle paraesthesia
-history of cancer (esp breast, prostate, reproductive)
why are red flags important
indicators of possible serious pathology such as
inflammatory/neurological conditions
MSK damage or disorders
circulatory problems
suspected infections
tumours
systemic conditons
groin pain is common in?
males more than females and athletes
sports:
-ice hockey/football
-mode of injury: kicking, change of direction, sprinting
risk factors for groin pain
-previous history
-higher level of play
-reduced hip adduction strength (adductor squeeze test)
-lower level of sports specific training
-reduced hip internal rotation and bent knee fall out range
-altered trunk muscle function
common findings in athletes with long standing adductor groin pain
- degenerative change. of symphyseal joint
-adductor muscle insertion
pubic bone marrow oedema
-secondary cleft signs
clinical criteria for adductor groin pain
adductor tenderness and pain on resisted testing
clinical criteria for iliospoasis groin pain
liopsoas tenderness
Pain on resisted hip flexion AND/OR pain on
stretch
clinical criteria for inguinal groin pain
Pain location in the inguinal region AND
tenderness of the inguinal canal.
No palpable hernia.
Pain aggravated with resistance testing of the
abdominal muscles OR on Valsalva/cough/sneeze
doha agreement is
how different types of groin pain is classified
clinical criteria of pubic groin pain
Local tenderness of the pubic symphysis and
the immediately adjacent bone.
No particular resistance test that could be
used in conjunction with palpation
clinical crtieria of hip groin pain
History (onset, nature, location, mechanical
symptoms e.g. catching, locking, clicking or
giving way)
PROM tests and special tests: FABER, FADIR).
adductor muscles and types of injuries that occur
adductor magnus, longus, brevis and pectineus helps with movements
- adductor muscle strain
- adductor tendinopathy/ enthesopathy
tests for adductor related groin pain
palpation (adductor longus, pectineus, gracillus)
resistance (squeeze test with hip in neutral and long lever, or with hip and knee flexion, or outer range adduction)
stretch (passive adductor stretch, FABER test)
80-81% probability of MRI adductor lesion with 3 tests positive
iliopsoas related groin pain
poor correlation between clinical tests and imaging, MRI needed to assist diagnosis
hip flexor injuries account for 1/3 of acute groin injuries
inguinal related groin pain (excluding inguinal hernia) diagnosis/injuries (4)
- posterios wall bulge
- ilioinguinal nerve adhesions
- ilioinguinal nerve entrapment
- enestheopathy at insertion
pubic related groinpain injuries (4)
- pubic symphysis joint (older athletes)
- pubic apopysitis (younger athlete)
- superior/inferior pubic rami bone stress injury
- abdominal tendonopathy/enthesopathy
