Hip evaluation/treatment Flashcards
week 8 (43 cards)
What are the objectives of hip evaluation?
Perform a comprehensive evaluation of the hip and thigh
Identify conditions presenting in outpatient settings
Understand underlying causes of hip/thigh dysfunction
What does FAI stand for?
Femoroacetabular Impingement
None
What are the two main classifications of hip pathology?
Intra-Articular Hip Pathology
Extra-Articular Hip Pathology
None
What are common signs of intra-articular hip pathology?
Anterior or peritrochanteric hip pain
May radiate to the buttock or groin
None
What are characteristics of extra-articular hip pathology?
Involves tendons, bursae, muscles
Localized tenderness, often over greater trochanter
None
What are the key signs of Osteoarthritis (OA) in the hip?
Moderate anterior/lateral hip pain with WB
Morning stiffness < 1 hour
↓ Hip IR PROM (<25°) & ROM differences (>15°)
Age > 50
CPR for OA includes specific symptoms.
What does the acronym CPR stand for in the context of hip OA?
Clinical Prediction Rule
CPR helps in diagnosing conditions based on specific signs.
What are the positive signs for OA according to the CPR?
- Pain ↑ with squatting
- Lateral hip pain w/ hip flex AROM
- Pain with Scour Test
- Pain with hip extension AROM
- Hip IR PROM < 25°
A combination of 3 out of 5 signs indicates a higher likelihood of OA.
What are common signs of labral tears?
Anterior groin pain or C-sign
Clicking, giving way, sharp pain
Pain ↑ with sitting, standing, squatting
Commonly co-exists with FAI.
What are the risk factors for Avascular Necrosis (AVN)?
- Steroid use
- Alcoholism
- Sickle cell anemia
AVN can lead to severe hip complications if not managed early.
What are the signs of AVN?
- Hip extension ROM < 15° (SP 92%)
- Pain in groin (55%)
- Pain in thigh (57%)
- Pain in buttock (71%)
- Pain in knee (22%)
Referral is required for early management.
What is the purpose of the FADIR special test?
To assess for FAI, Labral Tear, OA
Sensitivity: 94–99; Specificity: 8
What does a positive FABER test indicate?
Pain (groin/posterior/SIJ)
Sensitivity: 81; Specificity: 25
What is a common condition associated with greater trochanteric pain syndrome?
Tenderness over gluteal muscles
Common in older adults.
What are the signs of snapping hip syndrome?
Audible/palpable snap during hip movement
Can be internal (iliopsoas) or external (TFL/ITB).
Fill in the blank: Muscle strains can be graded from I (mild) to _______.
III (complete tear)
Strains are often caused by sudden activity.
What are the key pediatric hip conditions?
- SCFE
- LCPD
- Apophysitis/Avulsions
- Hip Dysplasia
Referral is needed for all pediatric red flags. (limb, ER posture, pain referral to knee)
What are the common sources of referred pain in hip conditions?
- Lumbar spine
- SIJ/pelvis
- Viscera
Regional interdependence should always be assessed.
What should be integrated for clinical reasoning during hip evaluation?
Subjective + objective data
This helps in confirming the structure and relevant tests.
What is the primary objective of HIP Rehabilitation?
Identify evidence-based interventions for soft tissue and bony injuries of the hip, and create an evidence-based rehabilitation program for the hip and thigh.
What are general guidelines for treating Articular Dysfunction?
- Manual therapy
- Trunk stability
- ROM
- Hip/trunk strengthening
- Stretching
- Joint mobility
- Functional training
- Neuro re-education
- OA (osteoarthritis)
- Patient education
- Gait training
- Flexibility
- Capsular pattern
- Endurance
What are the components of treatment for Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI)?
- Activity modification
- Postural correction
- Balance
- Movement pattern training
- Activity specific training
- Surgery
What is a key consideration in treating Avascular Necrosis of the femoral head?
Protected weightbearing with crutches, walkers, or canes and activity modification to avoid overloading.
What interventions are included for Osteochondral lesions?
- Patient education
- Pain medication
- Symptom control
- NSAIDs
- Activity modification
- Gait training
- Dynamic stabilization
- Hyaluronic acid injections
- PRP
- MSC and BMAC
- Surgery
