Hip Flashcards
what is a clinical syndrome
based on the presence of symptoms over the greater
trochanter of the hip, including bursitis, gluteal tendinopathy, and iliotibial band (ITB) pathology.
GREATER TROCHANTERIC BURSITIS
what are the three common greater troch burse?
gluteus minimums bursa
sub gluteus medius bursa
subgluteus maximus bursa
what is the most common age for trochanteric pain?
middle aged women (40s) and elderly (60s)
Originally, the most assumed cause of pain for the lateral hip region was the ___________. Now other pathologies have been found to be just as prevalent including____________________.
- subgluteus maximus bursa
- gluteal tendinopathy and atrophy and tensor fasciae latae tendinopathy
what is the most commonly cound pathological structure in lateral hip pain?
glute med (but it is prob in conjunction with other things)
what are theories of greater troch bursitis?
- ITB rubbing over glute med tendon
- direct trauma/strain
- repetitive micro trauma
what is the initial cause of bursisits or tendon pain? and what occurs over time?
- inflammatory reaction
- oxidative stress and apoptosis
___________is theorized to
stimulate nociceptors.
Anoxia

infiltration of vascular and neuronal tissue, which can be accompanied by adrenergic
involvement
Chronic pain
MOI for greater trochanter bursitis
- hyperabduction of the hip
- trauma
- direct blow or fall
- overuse and microtrauma (more common)
contributing factors to greater troch hip bursitis are…
- poor walking mechanics
- prolonged sitting/standing
- lumbar/sacral pathology
- LLD
- poor multifidus/transverse abdominis
- tight flexors, adductors, and hammys
signs of greater trochanter bursitis
- pain on posteriolateral hip and buttock (can go down lateral thigh, rarely extends beyond the knee and into the poterior thigh )
- numbness and snapping at the greater troch
- L2-L4 nerve roots (thigh)
- L5 dermatome (lat thigh)
aggravating activities for greater troch bursitis
- ipsilateral side lying, prolonged standing, crossing the legs. rising from a chair and climbing activities.
- Climbing and descending stairs or walking uphill.
- Hip external rotation and abduction movements.
- Running and jumping.
- All these activities create increased stress or pressure on the hip joint, requiring more
stabilization from muscle-tendon units and their surrounding structures. - Running, jumping, and climbing all require a high level of gluteal muscle contraction with both
concentric and eccentric control
what are easing activities of greater troch hip bursitis
- Rest from aggravating activities.
- Antiinflammatory medications.
- Lying supine.
- Contralateral side lying with pillow between knees.
surgical options for greater troch bursitis
- steroid shots
- bursal sac calcification and excision
- ITB release
- tendon anchor repair
- trochanteric reduction osteotomy
what is the goal of rehab for greater troch bursitis
- decrease further injury, inflam, and regain ROM
once inflam has decreased in greater troch bursitis what should the focus be on?
ID the factors that contribute to the greater troch pain
exercises to promote hip ROM and strength
what exercises are good for greater troch bursitis to help restore ROM and strength?
eccentric gluteal exercises
dynamic pelvic stability
when treating greater troch bursitis _________________ are important for healing.
Trunk and pelvic strength and stability
what are 3 injury prevention techniques for greater troch bursitis?
- modification of running to avoid crossing midline
- stability and shock absorption
- correction of LLD
acute vs chronic hamstring tendinopathy
acute- overstretch with microtears and inflam
chronic - degeneration and cellular/collagen abnormalities
what is a grade 1 muscle strain
Grade I is defined by pain with
minimal or no strength and ROM
loss. Very minimal tissue disruption
has occurred.
what is a grade 2 muscle strain
Grade II is defined by tissue damage
that results in decreased muscle
strength and function. Muscle fiber
disruption has occurred.
what is a grade III muscle strain
Grade III is defined by complete
muscle disruption resulting in
complete strength and functional
losses.
what is a common cause for hamstring strain?
- strong eccentric load (noncontact)
- sprints
- over stretch ROM
- fall, jump, kick, lung
