Pelvis and Hip - Hypermobility through IPI Flashcards
(54 cards)
What is hypermobility in the hip?
excessive arthrokinematics/ joint play (guiding motion)
What are the traumatic etiologies of hypermobility of hip?
- fx and ligamentous tear
- labral
What are the atraumatic etiologies of hypermobility of the hip?
- extreme motions in sports
- labral tear with FAIS/IPI
-systemic connective tissue disorder
What are bone abnormalities for hypermobilities?
- shallow acetabulum
- inferior acetabular insufficiency
- excessive femoral version or torsion
- excessive femoral neck angle
What are some femoral torsions in the transverse plane?
- the angle between the femoral condyles and femoral head and neck
What is excessive ante version?
Toeing in
What is excessive retroversion?
Toeing out
What are the frontal plane angles that we should be concerned with?
The angle between the shaft of the femur and the neck
What is coxa valga?
-larger angle of inclination
- leads to gene vara or bow-legged position
What is coxa vara?
- smaller angle of inclincation
- leads to gene valga or knock-kneed position
What is the prevalence of hip hypermobility?
- inconsistent biological sex differences
- 5-35% of those with hip joint pain
What are risk factors for hypermobilitY??
- genetics
- injury
- nature of pt’s activites
What are some activities that can cause or contribute to hip hypermobliity?
- running
- ballet
- golf
- hockey
- soccer
- excessive rotation, flexion, hyperextension
What are symptoms of hypermobility?
like impingement due to hypermobility plus:
- anterior groin or lateral hip pain
- popping, locking or snapping present
- feeling of instability, especially when squatting
What are some signs of hypermobility in the hip?
like impingement due to hypermobility plus:
- ROM: Hip IR> 30˚ at 90˚ flexion
- combined motion: possible inconsistent block
What special tests are there for hip hypermobility?
- Hip apprehension
- ligaments teres test possibly postitive
- specific ligament tests likely positive
- abnormal femoral version or torsion
What is the hip apprehension test?
in prone move hip into ext with ER and ABD while applying antinf force on femur (specific to pubofemoral ligament test)
What is the PT rx focus for hip hypermobility?
- primary focus is on cartilage integrity and stabilization
What is regional interdependence?
- theory that differing body regions are biomechanically and neurophysiologically interdependent and impairment into one region can contribute to impairment in another, particularly if persistent
What may play a role in regional interdependence?
central mechanisms such as the motor cortex
What is the predominant innervation to the L4-S1 Z joints?
L4 dorsal rami
What is the predominant and MOST consistent innervation to the L4-S1 discs?
The L1, 2 dorsal root ganglia and L4 and L5 sinuvertebral nerves
What are the iliolumbar ligaments at L5 innervated by?
L1-4 spinal nerves
What happens if any of the L4-S1 joints are persistently hypermobile/unstable?
The L1-4 nerves are more likely to become sensitized and excessively recruit the hip flexors
