Q

What is piriformis syndrome?

A

The sciatic nerve is compressed or otherwise irritated by the piriformis muscle causing pain, tingling and numbness in the buttocks and along the path of the sciatic nerve descending the lower thigh and into the leg.

Q

What are the two things you are evaluating when inspecting the hip?

Study These Flashcards
A

Posture

Muscle and other contours

24
Q

What are the two bits assessed with AROM of the hip?

Study These Flashcards
A

Gait

Squat up and down

25
Lurching gait may indicate what?
Weakness of the gluteus minimus/medius or leg length discrepancy
26
What are the spinal nerve levels that the SLR evaluates?
L4, L5, S1
27
What is a positive SLR?
Pain in the sciatic distribution of the leg
28
What is the normal ROM of hip flexion?
140 degrees
29
What is a buttock sign?
Passive hip flexion is as (or more) limited and as painful as SLR
30
What does a buttock sign indicate?
Septic bursitis, ischio-rectal abscess, lesion of the sacrum
31
How do you assess passive internal rotation of the hip?
Pt is supine, flex knee and hip to 90, internally rotate
32
What is the normal internal rotation of the hip? External?
``` Internal = 45 External = 60 ```
33
What are we looking for with testing the hip?
Looking for the presence of the capsular pattern of RROM.
34
What is the cause of capsular pattern of RROM?
Lesions of the fibrous capsule of the synovial membrane gives rise to painful passive ROm
35
Capsular pattern of RROM is what (flexion, abduction, adduction, rotation)?
Marked limitation of: - Flexion/internal rotation - abduction -NO limitation of adduction/external rotation
36
What are the hip flexors?
- psoas - Iliacus - Rectus femoris
37
Painless weakness indicates what?
Nerve root lesions
38
What are the main hip extensors?
Hamstrings | Gluteus maximus
39
How do you assess resisted leg adduction?
Place fist between the knees, and have then squeeze
40
What are the primary adductors of the leg?
Pectineus Adductor brevis/longus Gracilis
41
What are the lateral/external rotators of the hip?
``` Gluteus maximus Piriformis Superior gemellus Inferior gemellus Obturator internus Obturator externus Quadratus femoris ``` (Gotta Pee, GO GO Quick)
42
When examining the hip, where should you always start? Why?
Lumbar spine for SDs and neurological issues
43
What are the two quick ways to assess ROM of the hip?
Squatting | Gait
44
What are the major arteries in the legs that you want to palpate when performing an examination of the hip?
Femorals
45
What is the Ely test?
If the heel cannot touch the buttocks, then the rectus femoris is tight
46
What is the Thomas test?
Flexion of the hip causes a contralateral leg flexion from a tight psoas
47
Painless weakness of the hamstrings is likely due to a lesion of what nerve root?
S1 or S2
48
What are the main flexors of the knee?
Quads
49
Hip pain with flexion of the knee is usually due to pathology of what muscle?
Rectus femoris
50
Painless weakness with the knee flexors is a lesion at what spinal level?
L3
51
Why is palpation done *after* AROM and PROM?
Many tissues overlying one another make this kind of palpation difficult to interpret without the basic exam first
52
What are the three classic history bits for a meniscal tear?
- Joint swelling - Clicking - Give way or buckling of the knee
53
What does Apley's test assess for?
Ligaments
54
What does Apley's distraction test assess for?
Meniscal injuries
55
What is the patellar grind test? What does it assess for?
- Compress the knee | - Assesses for chondromalacia
56
What are the two motions of the fibula?
Anterolateral | Posteromedial
57
What is supine thigh traction?
Pulling anteriorly on the tibia with the pt supine, to allow for venous and lymphatic drainage
