Hip Flashcards
(83 cards)
degrees of freedom of hip joint
3, 6 osteokinematic directions
capsular pattern
joint specific pattern of restriction of passive movement
hip capsular pattern
flexion>IR>abduction limitations
open packed capsular restriction
flexion and ER
How does hip joint congruency differ from other joints?
Very congruent, meaning less accessory movement so mobilizations are less effective
increased stability with mobility
femoral head vascularity
ligamentum teres - 1/3
circumflex
superior/inferior gluteal arteries
4 major ligaments of the hip
iliofemoral: anterior, Y
pubofemoral: anterior
ischiofemoral: posterior
ligamentum teres: blood supply and stabilize at 90 flexion
stabilizer muscles of the hip
psoas, hip rotaters
hip clock orientations
felt around greater trochanter
12: glut med
1-2: glut min
3: glut max
4-5: vastus lateralis
6-7: quadratus femoris
8-10: conjoint tendon
10-11: piriformis
flexors of the hip
iliacus
TFL
sartorius
rectus femoris
adductor longus
pectineus
assist: gracilis, adductor brevis, glut min anterior fibers
extensors of the hip
glut max
hamstrings
adductor magnus posterior fibers
assist: glut med
abductors of the hip
glut med
TFL
superior glut max
glut min
assist: sartorius, rectus femoris, piriformis
adductors of the hip
adductor group
pectineus
gracilis
Assist:
obturator externus
internal rotaters of the hip
no pure internal rotaters
TFL
glut min

adductor longus/brevis
semimebranosus/tendinosis
external rotaters of the hip
obturator internus/externus
gemellus sup/inf
quadratus femoris
piriformis

posterior glut med
biceps femoris
functional mobility at hip
shoe tying: 120 flexion
sitting: 112 flexion
squatting: 115 flexion/ 20 abduction/20 IR
up stairs: 67 flexion
down stairs: 36 flexion
put on pants: 90 flexion
normal angle between head of femur and neck
125 degrees
How does the angle at the femoral neck change the hip?
increased angle: coxa valga
decreased angle: coxa vara
coxa valga
creates increased stress across joint surfaces
shortens hip abduction moment arm to be disadvantageous
increased LE length
creates varus at knee, stress to medial side
more likely to get FAI
coxa vara
more horizontal femoral neck
increased downward shear force
decreased angle of pull for hip abduction
creates valgus at knee, stresses lateral side
more prone to fx due to increased torsional/shear force
femoral anteversion
neck is oriented anterior, smaller angle of head and neck in transverse plane
results in hip IR and in toeing
femoral retroversion
increased angle of femoral neck and head in transverse plane
results in hip ER and out toeing
avascular necrosis of femoral head
dead bone/bone marrow into subchondral plate cause by lack of blood flow to femoral head
PT treatment of avascular necrosis
the aftermath, we can catch condition but primary treatment is surgery
