42
Q

Observation - Posture

A

Anteversion/Retroversion
Coxa vara/valga
Leg length differences

43
Q

If patient has lordotic posture…

A

weak RA, tight iliopsoas

44
Q

If patient has sway back

A

weak iliopsoas, tight ES, tight hams, weak glut max

45
Q

If patient has asymmetrical iliac crests

A

tight hip abductors, tight quadratus lumborum

46
Q

Balance/Gait - One leg stand

A

Trendelenburg
Balance
PF strength

47
Q

Balance/Gait - Gait

A

Affect of posture on gait
Balance
Pain with gait

48
Q

AROM

A
Flexion
Extension
Abduction
Adduction
IR 
ER
49
Q

Hip Flexion -

A

Sitting or supine (Usually supine)

50
Q

Hip Extension -

A

Supine - doesnt asses extensors unless PT adds resistance
Prone - only tests a limited range
Sidelying - resistance can be applied to imitate gravity, pelvis has to be stabilized

51
Q

Hip Abduction

A

Supne

52
Q

Hip Adduction

A

Supine

53
Q

Hip IR

A

Supine - hip 90 degrees

54
Q

Hip ER

A

Supine, hip 90 degrees

55
Q

Hip OA cluster

A

Hip IR less than 15
Hip flexion less than or equal to 115
Age greater than 50

56
Q

Hip OA cluster 2

A

Hip IR greater than or equal to 15
Pain with hip IR
Morning stiffness of hip for up to 60 min
Age greater than 50

57
Q

End Feels for hip in normal

A

should all be tissue resistance (springy/muscular)

58
Q

Muscle testing

A

Myotomal testing
GMT
MMT
Resisted contraction of muscle

59
Q

GMT

A

helps you determine general strength

60
Q

MMT

A

for specific muscles that are weak

61
Q

Resisted Contraction

A

used to determine if greater muscle contraction will cause pain
Isolates to a muscle or tendon problem
Resisting muscle in lengthened position is a good way used for subtle lesions that midrange contraction may not pick up

62
Q

Strong and painless Resisted COntraction

A

Normal or very isolated minor pathology

63
Q

Strong and painful Resisted contraction

A

Minor/moderate pathology of mm, tendon, bursa

64
Q

Weak and painful resisted contraction

A

more acute or major pathology of mm, tendon, fracure

65
Q

Weak and painless resisted contraction

A

serious pathology, nervous system, tumor

66
Q

Joint mobility assessment

A

Resting (open packed) position
Close packed position
Capsular pattern

67
Q

Resting (open packed) position

A

Flexed 30 degrees, abd 30 deg, slight lateral rotation

68
Q

Close packed position

A

max ext, medial rotation and abduction

69
Q

Capsular pattern

A

medial rotation, flexion, abduction = extension

70
Q

in treatment when contractile tissues are lengthened…

A

follow with lengthening non contractile tissue and vice versa

71
Q

Joint Mobility Assessment

A

Lateral distraction
Longitudinal Distraction
Anterior Posterior
Posterior Anterior

72
Q

Flexibility

Thomas
Modified Thomas
Elys
Ober
Modified Ober
Hamstring
Piriformis
73
Q

Below 60 degrees of hip flexion, piriformis is

A

an external rotator

74
Q

Above 60 degrees of hip flexion, piriformis is

A

a medial rotator and horizontal abductor

75
Q

Special Tests

A

Scour

FABERE

76
Q

Scour test

A

nonspecific for medial - anterior lesions and when done in abduction for posterior-lateral lesions

77
Q

FABERE test

A

non specific for screening hip pathology if pain is in hip

78
Q

Labral Tests

A

Internal rotation, compression = high Sn, poor Sp

MRA is best

79
Q

Craigs Test

A

Used to assess anteversion/retroversion

Determine the point where GT is most lateral

80
Q

Leg Length Test

A

x ray is gold standard

81
Q

Activity limitations and participation restrictions

A
One leg balance
Sit to stand
Single leg squat
Step ups
Step downs
Isolated sport activity 
6 min walk test
TUG
82
Q

Outcome Measures - Lower Extremity Functional Scale

A

minimally important differece = 9 points

84
Q
