If a person comes in on crutches recovering from an ACL surgery on their right leg and they are NWB where is the center of mass on the patient?
Definition
Just over the right leg.
Term
If a pt comes in and you notice that their pelvis is dropped forward what muscles would you want to test for strength?
Definition
abductors, they create an equal and opposite force to keep the pelvis stable.
Term
If a pt comes in complaining of hip problems you might want to begin by measuring the acetabular anteversion angle and the center edge angle. What are the typical values fro both men and women?
Definition
acetabular- men 18.5°
Women 21.5°
Center- men and women – 35-40°
Term
If you found a problem with the acetabular anteversion angle how would you explain to the patient what is wrong?
Definition
The measurement found describes where your hip joint sits on your body. This particular measurement describes how far in front of your body this joint is found. A typical measurement for a female is 21.5° for a male 18.5°.

Definition
Left leg internal rotation, right leg external rotation
Term
A pt comes in complaining of pain on her right hip. You notice that when she walks she hikes her left hip in the air. What type of force can be causing her right hip pain?
Definition
Compression force
Term
A pt comes in with a Trendelenburg gait pattern. He has a pelvic drop on the left side. You educate him about assistive devices and you want to set him up with a cane. Which side would you advise him to hold the cane and why?
Definition

On the right side so it will not only take off 15% of the weight, but also increase his base of support and release come of the compression force.

Weight Bearing-Terms
Definition
HAT-Head And Trunk
GRF-Ground Reaction Force
Term
HIP

Weight Bearing-Pelvis to Acetabulum
Definition
Most WB stress in the pelvis pass from the SI joint to the acetabulum
Term
HIP

Weight Bearing-During standing/upright
Definition
In standing, at least half the HAT passes through the pelvis to the femoral head.

The GRF travels up the shaft.
Term
HIP

WB - Force of HAT and GRF create force on neck
Definition
These forces create a bending force across the femoral neck. That creates a tensile force on the superior femoral neck and compression on the inferior neck.
Term
HIP

WB- Forces on neck countered by muscles
Definition
The forces on the neck of the femur are countered by the pull of the abductor.
Term
HIP

Osteokinematics-Close Pack Position
Definition
Extension, Internal Rotation and Abduction

*NOT the most congruent position*
All ligaments are taut in this position.
Term
HIP

Osteokinematics-Open Pack Position
Definition
Slight flexion, abduction, slight external rotation
Term
HIP

Osteokinematics
Definition
120 deg Flexion
10-30 deg extension

Term
HIP

Weight Bearing - Trabecular adaptation
Definition
The trabeculae of the proximal femur adapt to the WB forces. One area becomes stronger against compression, another against the GRF and another against tesile forces.

In between these strong lines is a small triangular weak spot called the "Zone of Weaknes"

In other words, when seen from above, one side of the pelvis shifts forward or back.

 

Most commonly occurs in unilateral stance with the axis passing through the hip joint

Mnemonic for adductors:


Please Leave Great Big Marks

 

 

Term
In what plane does the adductors create torque?
Definition
In all planes-frontal plane (both pelvic on femur and femur on pelvic) and sagittal plane (causes flexors or extensors to fire depending on hip position)
Term
What makes up the flexor musculature of the hip?

Term
Fractures
Definition
They are a hip joint pathology due to bony failure of the femoral neck
Term
Osteoarthritis
Definition
Is a hip joint pathology which is due to the deterioration of the joints articular cartilage and leads to decreased ability to dissipate load
Term
What if the abductors cannot generate enough torque in single leg stance?
Definition
Lateral trunk lean, Trendelenburg, or cane-same side, or cane-opposite side
Term
Lateral trunk lean
Definition
Will lean towards the side of weakness so the abductors do not have to work as much. This also brings the LOG closer to the hip joint.
Term
Trendelenburg
Definition
The pelvis drops to the unsupported side even when the lateral lean is present
Term
Cane-same side (as weak side)
Definition
This decreases body weight by the amount of the downward thrust- up to 15% of weight relief is possible
Term
cane-opposite side (as weak side)
Definition
The reduction of the weight is similar to that of cane-same side but in this case the cane is further from the painful hip so it can assist the abductors in providing countertorque
Term

Definition
ASIS moves anteriorly and inferiorly while spine extends.
Term
Posterior Pelvic Tilt
Definition
