  1. Lecture 6 The Hip

  2. Anatomy Review • Hip Joint • Multi-axial ball and socket synovial joint • It has maximum stability because of the deep socket (acetabulum)for the insertion of the head of the femur • Strong ligaments and capsule encase this joint • Acetabulum is deepened by a labrium

  3. Hip Ligaments • Iliofemoral • Prevents excessive extension • Strongest in body • Ischiofemoral • Tight in extension • Pubofemoral • Prevents excessive abduction and extension • All three limit MR

  4. Hip joint • Resting position 30 degrees flexion • 30 degrees abduction and • slight lateral rotation

  5. Forces on the hip • Standing 0.3 X BW • Standing one leg 2.5 X BW • Walking 1.3-5.8 X BW • Upstairs 3 X BW • Running 4.5 X BW

  6. Common problems • referred pain from back (lumbar spine) or SI to hip

  7. Nerves • Majority of nerve supply arises from the Lumbar Plexus • Lumbar Plexus - formed from the first four lumbar spinal nerves • Largest branch is the Femoral nerve- supplies to the muscles and skin of the anterior thigh • Another branch Obturator nerve which provides innervation to the adductor muscles

  8. Sacral plexus - L4 through S4 spinal nerves • Sciatic nerve arise from the sacral plexus • Sciatic innervate the hamstrings

  9. Rom of Hip / End Feels • Flexion/ Extension • LR/MR • Abduction / Adduction • Muscles?

  10. Special Tests

  11. Thomas Test • Hip flexors • Hip flexion contracture • Athlete is supine with knees hanging over edge of table • Athlete brings knee up to chest , examiner can help push up so it is tight to chest • Positive test- if the hip flexor (iliopsoas) is tight on the opposite side the upper leg will lift up off the table

  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv4tYyRLXv8&feature=related • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDBtb_IIf_U&feature=related

  13. Rectus Femoris contracture ( Kendall Test) • Same as above – make sure they are right on edge of table • Now when they pull the knee to the chest look at the angle of the knee • If negative the knee should hang at 90 degrees • positive test - if the leg straightens out

  14. Slump Test • Myofacial structures ( Dura) • Athlete is seated with both legs hanging over the edge of the table, tuck chin to chest and slump upper body forward • Examiner passively (or can be done actively by athlete) raises the leg to extension • Positive test- is pain ( limitations in Range) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGGgospax-A&feature=related

  15. Patrick FABER test • SI and General ROM of the hip • athlete Supine • foot on opposite knee • leg lowered in to abduction and LR • compare Left and right • positive test- is a difference in ROM and pain • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_e-QqmBDJE

  16. Tripod sign • Hamstring contracture • Athlete is seated with both legs hanging over the edge of the table • Examiner passively raises the leg to extension • Positive test - if the individual leans back to relieve the stress on the hamstrings

  17. Trendelenburg sign • Weak Glut medius ( on stance side) • athlete standing on one leg must be able to stabilize hip • pelvis is level from left to right • Positive test - if ASIS ( pelvis) drops on non-stance side • Indicates a weakness or instability on stance side

  18. Tests for leg length • The leg is anatomically or functionally shorter • Spine and pelvis (and others) will be affected due to kinetic chain • May lead to scoliosis, pelvic rotations and neck issues

  19. Anatomical or True Leg length • To test measure from ASIS to medial malleolus (or lateral if muscle or fat get in way) heels approx 6 to 8 inches apart • Slight difference acceptable (1-1.3 cm considered normal) • If more than normal – measure tib and femur to see where difference is (can eyeball this • Side view and Front view

  20. Functional or Apparent Leg Length • Results due to a compensation for a change that may have occurred because of positioning rather than structure • Unilateral pronation – spinal scoliosis, pelvic rotations • Can measure from umbilicus to medial malleolus • The test is only meaningful if the test for true leg length in negative

  21. Muscle testing • Psoas and iliacus • Hip flexors • Athlete is seated with knees flexed • Hands on the edge of the table • Athlete lifts the upper leg off the table and examiner applies pressure on anterior surface of thigh downwards • Examiner stabilizes opposite side • Positive test – pain and weakness

  22. Sartorious • Hip flexor, abductor and lateral rotator • Athlete is sitting or supine • Athlete brings ankle to opposite knee • Resistance applied to medial malleolus and to the lateral side of the thigh by examiner in an attempt to straighten the leg • Positive test – pain and weakness

  23. Gluteus Maximus • Hip extension • Athlete is prone on table • Knee is flexed • Resistance is applied by examiner to the proximal knee (post thigh) in attempts to flex the hip • Stabilize above the hip (low back ) • Gluts work best when knee is flexed • Positive test – pain and weakness

  24. Gluteus minimus and medius • As a hip abductor • Athlete is side lying with lower leg and hip flexed to 90 degrees • Resistance is applied to the proximal knee on the lateral side of the thigh • Movement should be without flexion or Lateral Rotator • Pelvis is stabilized • Positive test – pain and weakness

  25. Gluteus minimus and medius • As a Medial Rotator • Athlete is supine or sitting • Knee flexed over the edge of table • Resistance is applied to the lateral malleolus pushing the leg medially • Positive test – pain and weakness

  26. Adductors • Longus, magnus, brevis, gracillis and pectinus • Athlete is side lying • Non test limb is supported by the examiner • Lower limb is the test limb • Limb is adducted of the table and resistance is applied to the proximal knee joint medial thigh (pushing into abduction) • Positive test – pain and weakness

  27. Lateral Rotators • Obturator Internus, Obturator Externus, Superior and Inferior Gemellies and Piriformis • Athlete is sitting with knee flexed over edge of table • Resistance is applied to the distal leg on the medial malleolus • Pushing lower leg laterally • Positive test – pain and weakness

  28. Sport Specific Functional Tests • walking • going up and down stairs • running straight ahead , and variations • squatting • jumping
