Hando, Gill, Walker, Garber, “Short- and long-term clinical outcomes following a standardized protocol of orthopedic manual physical therapy and exercise in individuals with osteoarthritis of the hip: a case series” Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, 2012, Vol. 20, No. 4. Objectives: Describe short- and long-term outcomes observed in individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA) treated with a pre-selected, standardized set of best-evidence manual therapy and therapeutic exercise interventions.
Results: • “Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) scores improved from 4·3(±1·9) to 2·0(±1·9), hip flexion range of motion (ROM) improved from 99 degrees (±10·6) to 127 degrees (±6·3) and hip internal rotation ROM improved from 19 degrees (±9·1) to 31 degrees (±11·5).” • “Improvements in HHS, NPRS, and hip ROM measures reached statistical significance (P<0·05) at 8-weeks and remained significant at the 29-week follow-up.” • “Mean changes in NPRS and HHS scores exceeded the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) at 8-weeks and for the HHS scores alone at 29 weeks. The 8 and 29 week mean Global Rating of Change scores were 5·1(±1·4) and 2·1(±4·2), respectively.” • Discussion: • “Improved outcomes observed following a pre-selected, standardized treatment protocol were similar to those observed in previous studies involving impairment-based manual therapy and therapeutic exercise for hip OA. Future studies might directly compare the two approaches.”
Manual Therapy Protocol • Patient supine at the edge of table • Therapist next to patient on stool. Optional to place one knee on plinth for leverage. • Belt placed around proximal femur of patient and around ischialtuberosities of therapist. • Distract hip joint inferiorly by shifting hips posteriorly while using hand to bring patient into hip flexion. Hip Flexion With Caudal (inferior) Glide Improve Hip Flexion
Manual Therapy Protocol • Patient in supine, may hold onto table to avoid sliding • Place hip in slight flexion/ abduction. • PT grasps pt. with both hands above the malleoli • Impart distraction by shifting weight posteriorly Long Axis Distraction Improve all Hip Motions
Manual Therapy Protocol Posterior – Anterior Mobilization • Pt. prone with hip placed in flexion/ abduction/ external rotation • Place towel roll under pt. knee • PT kneels on table while using left knee to prevent the pt. LE from internally rotating • Impart anterior mobilization through greater trochanter • Progress by bringing hip further into flex./ abd./ ER and repeat Improve Hip Extension
Manual Therapy Protocol Iliopsoas Stretch • Place pt. supine with buttocks at edge of table (in Thomas test position) • Flex pt. non involved hip while extending the involved side • PT holds opposite LE in flexion and while extending other LE until stretch is felt in the hip flexors Improve Hip Extension
Manual Therapy Protocol Piriformis Stretch • Pt. in supine • PT flexes and externally rotates pt. involved hip until stretch is felt in the buttocks • Progress with increased flex./ ER/ and adduction Improve Hip Internal Rotation and Stretch Hip Joint Capsule
Manual Therapy Protocol • Pt. placed in supine • PT places belt around pt. proximal femur and therapists ischialtuberosities • PT flexes pt. hip to 90 • Impart lateral distraction by shifting weight posteriorly • Following distraction, using AAROM internally rotate pt. hip Internal Rotation with Distraction Improve Hip Internal Rotation
Exercise Program • Lie supine • Grasp the front of your knee as shown. • Pull your knee to your chest until you feel a stretch in your buttock and posterior thigh. • Hold stretch for 30 seconds or more. • Perform every day for 3 sets of 30 seconds. Knee to chest stretch Glute Max and Hip Capsule Stretch
Exercise Program • Lie on your left side. • Use your right lateral hip muscles to lift leg towards the ceiling. • Do not let pelvis rotate posteriorly. • Hold for 1-2 seconds at the top and return to starting position. • Perform every other day for 3 sets of 12 reps. Hip Abduction Strengthen Glute Med
Exercise Program Hip Flexor Stretch • Lie with your buttock at the edge of the table. • Grasp the front of your knee as shown and pull your knee to your chest • Let your opposite leg relax and fall towards ground until you feel a stretch in the front of your thigh and groin. • Hold stretch for 30 seconds or more. • Perform every day for 3 sets of 30 seconds.

Selkowitz, Beneck, Powers “Which Exercises Target the Gluteal Muscles While Minimizing Activation of the Tensor Fascia Lata? Electromyographic Assessment Using Fine-Wire Electrodes”JOrthop Sports PhysTher. 2012 Nov 16 Background: Abnormal hip kinematics (i.e. excessive hip adduction and internal rotation) has been linked to certain musculoskeletal disorders. The TFL is a hip abductor but also internally rotates the hip. As such, it may be important to select exercises that activate the gluteal hip abductors while minimizing activation of TFL. Conclusion: If the goal of rehabilitation is to preferentially activate the gluteal muscles while minimizing TFL activation, then the clam, mini squat side-step with band, unilateral bridge, and both quadruped hip extension (straight leg and bent knee) exercises would appear to be most appropriate
