Exam 2- SI jt-hip functional tests Flashcards
what is the SI jt designed for
stability and very little mobility
what is RSA imaging
3D imaging motion and position
what are the RF for SI jt dysfunction
laxity and hormonal changes
during pregnancy- LBP or pelvic trauma
what is the primary cause of SI jt dysfunction
peri partum
immature skeleton due to lack of bone irregularity and congruency
trauma
disease (AS)
what are the S&S of SI jt dysfunction
localized SI jt pain
gluteal and lateral hip pain
pubic symphysis pain
hypermobility S&S
what can be seen on a SCAN for SI jt dysfunction
TL A/PROM- inconsistent
RST- impaired local m and weak antigravity m
ST- SI provocation tests
how are special tests with SI jt dysfunction
motion and palpation are unreliable
ASLR (+) for impaired m
what are most often the best evidence for dx a SI dysfunction
cluster and ASLR
how do we treat SI jt dysfunction
POLICED
m energy technique for m guarding/pain
pelvic belt
JM
MET
what does JM do for SI jt dysfunction
likely positive soft tissue and m influence per manip
what is the primary MET focus of SI jt dysfunction
stabilization
what do we do for MET with SI jt dysfunction
local m and lumbar hypermobility MET
hip m and thoracolumbar fascia
how does ligaments act if m attached to them
what if m is impaired
dynamic
if m is impaired, the ligament does not work how it should
what to edu the patient on with an SI jt dysfunction
reduce fear
early mobilization
general anatomy, biomechanics
reassurance of good prognosis
when are injections involved with the SI jt
pt has ankylosing spondylitis
what MD Rx can be given for SI jt dysfunction for short term benefit
pain/anti inflammatory meds
prolotherapy
what is the prognosis of SI jt dysfunction with pregnancy
rapidly declines during first 3 months post partum
what are the RF for an FAI
genetics and gender
susceptible population and activities
abnormal hip/pelvis kinematics
if a pt has limited post tilt, what other motion can be limited with FAI
hip ER
what is the more often cause of FAI
abnormal hip mechanics
vigorous athlete loading
what is less often the cause of FAI
pediatric hip conditions
femoral neck fx
what is a cam FAI
less spherical femoral head
contacts anterosuperior acetabulum (12 oclock)
more common in males
what are the congenitial types of FAI
cam
pincer
mixed
what is a pincer FAI
deeper acetabulum or anterior osteophyte
neck contacts anterior and sometimes posterior labrum
middle aged athletic
