What are the superior, medial, and lateral borders of the femoral triangle?
Superior: inguinal ligament
Medial: medial border of adductor longus m.
Lateral: medial border of sartorius m.
What are the flexors of the hip?
iliopsoas, sartorius, rectus femoris, and tensor fascia lata/IT band
What are the extensors of the hip?
gluteus maximus and hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus)
What are the adductors of the hip?
adductor longus m.
What are the abductors of the hip?
gluteus medius and tensor fascia lata/IT band
Tight hamstrings lead to a decrease in hip flexion. What is the name of this dysfunction?
hip extension dysfunction
TO check for hip flexion how should the patient be laying?
Supine
To check for hip extension how should the patient be laying?
Prone
How do you check for hip external/internal rotation?
Patient supine or prone with knee flexed to 90 degrees
For hip adduction and abduction how do you set up the patient?
Supine
Iliotibial band restriction presents as:
lateral knee pain and restriction to hip adduction
What are the best ways to check for IT band restriction?
supine or lateral recumbent
ROM of hip flexion
90 degrees knee extended; 120-135 with knee flexed
ROM of hip extension
15-30 degrees
ROM of hip internal rotation
30-40 degrees
ROM of hip external rotation
40-60 degrees
ROM of hip abduction
45-50 degrees
ROM of hip adduction
20-30 degrees
Iliopsoas m. is innervated by what nerve?
femoral nerve (L1-L2)
Gluteus maximus is innervated by what nerve?
inferior gluteal nerve (L5, S1-S2)
Gluteus medius is innervated by what nerve?
superior gluteal nerve (L5, S1)
Adductor longus is innervated by what nerve?
obturator nerve (L2-L4)
What does 0/5 mean on Strength Scale?
no muscle contraction detected
What does 1/5 mean on Strength Scale?
barely detectable flicker/trace of muscle contraction
