Pelvis and Hip 3 Flashcards
(71 cards)
etiology of hypermobility at the hip
traumatic like fx, ligament tear, or labral tear
atraumatic from extreme motions in sports, labral tear with FAI/IPI, and systemic connective tissue disorders
if there is a bony abnormality, what factors may contribute to hypermobility of hip
shallow acetabulum
inferior acetabular insufficiency
excessive femoral torsion or version (only one we can pick up clinically)
excessive femoral neck angle
what is femoral torsion
in transverse plane
angle between femoral condyles and femoral head and neck
excessive anteversion = toeing in
excessive retroversion = toeing out
what is the femoral neck angle
in frontal plane the angle between the shaft and neck
what is coxa valga
larger inclincation angle
leads to genu vara or bow legged
what does valgus mean
distal segment moves laterally
i.e. coxa valga = bow legged stature
what is coxa vara
smaller inclination angle
leads to genus valga or knock kneed position
prevalence of hypermobility at the hip
inconsistent with gender differences
5-35% of those with hip pain
risk factors for hypermobility
genetics
injury
nature of pts activities
-running
-ballet
-golf
-hockey
-soccer
-excessive RT, FLX, and hyper EXT
symptoms of hypermobility of hip
like impingement due to hypermobility plus:
anterior groin or lateral hip pain
popping, locking, or snapping
feeling of instability, especially when squatting
signs of hip hypermobility
like impingement plus
ROM: hip IR>30 at 90 flx
combined motion: possibly inconsistent
special tests for hip
hip apprehension
abnormal femoral version or torsion
what is the hip apprehension test
in prone
move hip into ext and abd while applying anterior inferior force on femur
specific to pubofemoral ligament test
PT Rx for hypermobility of hip
primary focus on cartilage integrity and stabilization
predominant innervation to the L4-S1 Z joints
L4 dorsal Rami
predominant and most consistent innervation to the L4-S1 discs
L1, 2 dorsal root ganglia
L4 and L5 sinuvertebral nn
iliolumbar ligaments are innervated by
L1-4 spinal nn
if there is a instability at L4-S1, what muscle groups would be more likely to excessively recruit due to the predominance of L1-L4
hip flexors (L1/2)
hip adductors (L3)
knee extensors (L3/4)
Ankle DF (L4/5)
main function of iliopsoas and where does it attach
primarily a hip flexor and trunk stabilizer
attaches to iliocapsularis
functions of iliocapsularis and where does it attach
primarily a dynamic stabilizer for capsule
also a hip flexor
attaches to iliopsoas, anteromedial capsule, and rectus femoris
rectus femoris attaches to
the capsule
the capsule attaches to
the labrum
nerve roots for iliopsoas, iliocapsularis, and rectus femoris
iliopsoas= L1-4
iliocapsularis = L2-4
rectus femoris = L2-4
simplify the hip consequence of excessively recruited hip flexors
muscles are overrecruited and pull on attachment to capsule that ultimatley pulls on the labrum as well
