hip and thigh reference guide Flashcards
(25 cards)
What is a possible cause of osteoarthritis in the hip?
Previous hip injury
Osteoarthritis can be influenced by past injuries, leading to degeneration over time.
What clinical tests are used for assessing hip strength?
Squat or Sit-to-stand analysis, Gait analysis, Strength – Hip
These tests help evaluate the functional strength of the hip.
What is the significance of a positive C-sign in hip assessment?
Indicates hip pain or discomfort
The C-sign is a common indicator of hip joint issues.
What interventions may be used for hip osteoarthritis?
Gait retraining, Assistive device training, Mobility – Hip, Progressive strengthening – Gluteals
These interventions aim to improve function and reduce pain.
What are common causes of traumatic hip injuries?
Younger age, History of connective tissue disorder, Non-contact pivoting or twisting injury
These factors increase the risk for traumatic hip injuries.
What tests are included in the assessment of degenerative hip conditions?
FADIR test, FABER test, Log roll test, Positive C-sign, Palpation
These tests help diagnose various hip issues.
True or False: Stretching is contraindicated for degenerative hip conditions.
True
Stretching can exacerbate symptoms in degenerative conditions.
What is the typical age group for individuals with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)?
Males often between the ages of 9-15 years
SCFE is more prevalent in younger males.
Fill in the blank: Avascular necrosis may present with _______.
knee pain
Symptoms can sometimes be referred to the knee.
What is a common symptom of tendinopathy?
Increased pain with early loading
Tendinopathy often presents with pain during initial activities.
What is myositis ossificans associated with?
Previous hip muscle contusion
This condition can occur after muscle injuries.
What is the recommended intervention for a muscle strain?
Progressive strengthening – Eccentric-bias
Focus on strengthening the affected muscle group progressively.
What is a key assessment for greater trochanteric pain syndrome?
Single leg stance test
This test evaluates stability and pain in the hip area.
What is the main characteristic of snapping hip syndrome?
Internal or External snapping
This condition is often observed in active adolescents.
What assessment is crucial for diagnosing osteochondritis dessicans?
Weight-bearing assessment
This assessment helps evaluate how the hip functions under load.
What are the common interventions for groin pain?
Activity modification, Progressive strengthening, Running retraining
These interventions aim to reduce pain and improve function.
What is a common cause of hip fractures in older adults?
Traumatic injury, Osteoporosis
These factors significantly increase fracture risk.
What is the primary treatment for muscle contusion?
Protection, Ambulation with crutches
These measures help manage pain and prevent further injury.
What is the role of progressive strengthening in hip rehabilitation?
To enhance muscle strength and joint stability
Strengthening is vital for recovery and preventing re-injury.
What is the FADIR test used for?
To assess hip impingement or labral tear
This test helps identify specific hip joint issues.
What does the FABER test assess?
Hip joint dysfunction
This test evaluates the hip’s range of motion and pain response.
What is the main concern with Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)?
Impact on bone health and performance
RED-S can lead to serious long-term health issues.
What are some possible interventions for osteoarthritis?
- gait retraining
- assistive device training
- modify sport/exercise training
- progressive strengtrheing - gluteals
- referral to orthopedic specialist (surgery may be needed chronic/routine)
