Hip and knee Flashcards
(34 cards)
Central Compartment (3)
Labrum,
Ligamentum teres,
Articular surfaces
Peripheral Compartment (2)
Femoral neck,
Synovial lining
Lateral Compartment (5)
- Gluteus medius,
- Gluteus minimus,
- Piriformis,
- IT band,
- Trochanteric bursae
Anterior Compartment
Iliopsoas insertion,
Iliopsoas bursae
Borders of femoral t
- Superiorly – Inguinal Ligament
- Medially – Medial border of Adductor Longus muscle
- Laterally – Medial border of Sartorius muscle
Adduction Somatic Dysfunction
Hypertonic Long or Short Adductors
Muscles that IR:
tensor fascia lata,
gluteus medius,
gluteus minimus
Muscles that ER:
- gluteus maximus,
- piriformis,
- sartorius,
- obturator internus/externus,
- superior/inferior gemellus,
- quadratus femoris
Hip Extension Somatic Dysfunction
hypertonic Hamstrings (straight leg)
or
Gluteus Maximus (knee bent)
Hip Flexion Somatic Dysfunction
to test:
Thomas Test: Flexion of opposite Hip causes hip flexion in dysfunctional side
Typically due to hypertonic hip flexors, commonly the iliopsoas
Abduction Somatic Dysfunction
d/t hypertonic IT band
how to dx hypertonic SHORT adductors
FABER
Flexed
ABduct
Externally Rotate at thight and knee
Major and Minor Motions of the Tibiofemoral Joint
major: F and E
min: IR/ER, AD/AB, ant/post glide
Posterior Glide
As Knee Flexes, tibia Glides Posteriorly on femur
Anterior Glide
- As Knee Extends, tibia Glides Anteriorly on femur
think of it as if the femur does not move
Anterior Drawer Test
+ orthopedic test
positive test indicating disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament
tibia in relation to the femur with acharacteristic “mushy” or “soft” end point
Anterior Drawer Test
+ SD test
A positive test is one in which there is a“hard” end-feel
and the posterior drawer has a “soft” or “empty” end- feel, but is not greater than 1 mm of slide.
normal finding for anterior drawer test
Normal finding: A “firm” end point is elicited with a “recoil” due to a healthyviscoelastic response.
Flexed Tibiofemoral Somatic Dysfunction
—-what is special about this?
pillow under patients legs
Diagnose ABduction/ADduction Tibiofemoral SD
Induce ABduction of distal tibia by applying a Valgusforce to knee (gaps)
Induce ADduction of distal tibia by applying a Varusforce to knee (compress)
Tibiofemoral Joint IR/ER angles

W- increased
External Rotation of tibiofemoral joint leads to
anteromedial glide of tibia on femur
Internal Rotation of tibiofemoral joint leads to
posterolateral glide of tibia on femur
