1
Q

Hip exam: history, interview and systems review consider what?

A
  • Non-musculoskeletal: medical - visceral, systemic origin such as genitourinary can refer to hip

19
Q

What to observe with function at the hip

A
  • ROM
  • deviations/compenstation
  • pain during LQS squat, functional movement, gait
20
Q

Angle of inclination - structure/alignment

A
  • normal; 125º
  • smaller <125º
  • larger > 125º
21
Q

Coxa vara

A
  • smaller <125 from femoral head/acetabulum to shaft
  • increase shear force on femoral neck
  • decreased length of abductors
  • decreased force production of abductors
22
Q

Coxa valga

A
  • angle between the head of the femur and shaft is >125
  • less shear force across femoral neck
  • increase length of abductors = better force production
23
Q

Normal anteversion

A
  • 15º
  • femoral neck is rotated 15ºin relation to femoral condyles
24
Q

Excessive anteversion

A
  • > 15º
  • can result in
  1. medial femoral torsion (structural change OR
  2. toeing-in compensation
25
Q

Retroversion angle

A
  • <15º
  • can result in
  1. lateral femoral torsion (structure change) OR
  2. Toeing-out compensation so that femoral head gets seated properly
26
Q

Craig’s test for ante version

A
  • palpate greater trochanter parallel to table
  • normal angle 8-15
  • measure with Goni - patella SA= straight up and MA = 2nd toe?
27
Q

Femoral medial torsion

A
  • patellas point inward
  • squinting patella and bowlegs when feet are pointing forward
  • femoral condyles go medially
  • ER hip so that patellas face forward but feet are now out
28
Q

Congential hip dislocation testing: telescoping sign

A
  • push posterior long axis of femur
  • lift femur up
  • (+) is excessive movement (hip comes out)
29
Q

Congential hip dislocation testing: ortbanti’s sings and Barlows sign

A
  • Ortolanti’s sign: abduct and ER hip will relocate (reducing click)
  • Barlow’s sign: perform IR and adduction of hip and the hip dislocated posterior (then do ortolani)
30
Q

Congential hip dislocation: limited abduction (harts sign) Cleland

A
  • passvely abduct both hips
  • (+) test = see asymmetrical abduction
  • may clunk as abducting reduces hip
31
Q

How is the hip joint a stable joint

A
  • acetabulum = deeper socket
  • expansive capsule is 1ºsupport: runs acetabulum to base of femoral neck, thinner posterior/inferior capsule = dislocated posterior)
  • extrinsic ligaments add support; iliofemoral, pubofemorla, ischiofemoral
32
Q

Normal end feels at the hip

A
  • normal capsular with some give/creep
  • flexion- soft tissue approximation
33
Q

abnormal end feels at the hip

A
  • limited capsular pattern (stiff without creep)
  • marked limitation IR, abduction
  • moderate limitation: flexion/extension
  • less limitation ER, adduction
34
Q

During AROM/PROM of the hip patient may experience

A
  • femoroacetabular impingement: pain end ROM
  • labral tear = pain or clicking
35
Q

Femoralacetabular impingements

A
  • Cam impingement: large FH, small acetabulum
  • pincer type impingement: large overhanging acetabulum
  • Combination of CAM and pincer impingement
  • **these may result in degeneration or labrum/articular cartilage and cause DJD
36
Q

Hip arthrokinematics

A
  • open chain: convex FH on concave acetabulum (spin)
  • anterior glide of FH: ER/Ext
  • Posterior glide Femoral head: Flex/IR
  • Medial glide of FH ABD
  • lateral glide Add
  • inferior glide hip flexion beyond 70
  • Closed chain: roll and slide in the same direction as pelvic motion
37
Q

open pack vs closed pack positions for the hip joint

A
  • loose pack: 30ºflexion, 30º abduction, Slight ER
  • closed pack: full extension, IR, abduction
38
Q

Joint assessment if hypomobile turn into treatment

A
  • long axis distraction
  • inferior glide - hip flexion beyond 70
  • lateral distraction; Rx with strap
  • capsule length: stretch flexion/extension, adduction/abduction, IR/ER
  • FABER (Patrick’s) test
39
Q

Strength assessment of the hip

A
  • RI of myotomes/NR scan
