Which pelvic position would put the Iliopsoas muscle on overstretched? What about shortened?
Anterior pelvic tilt the Iliopsoas will be shortened and not very efficient when contracting. Posterior pelvic tilt the iliopsoas could be overstretched may have insufficient cross bridges of the muscle and less force production of the muscle
Clinical Prediction Rule for Hip OA, 4 out of 5 of clinical findings most likely they will have OA, probability of hip OA will be 91%. What are the 5?
• Squatting as a aggravating factor • Scour test -Active hip flexion reproduces lateral hip pain because reduced joint clearance of the femoral head and acetabulum prematurely come into contact that could reproduce the pain in the groin area -Active hip extension reproduces pain, the femoral head glides anteriorly and if you have the anterior superior area of the acetabulum being involved than when you extend the femoral head has to glide anteriorly than that pathological issue will contact the femoral head and give you the hip pain in the groin area (labrum is the most likely sight of labral tears anterior superior) • Passive hip IR equal or less than 25 degrees
When using a mobilization belt or gait belt to perform an inferior glide of the hip describe the procedures that should be followed? *Remember to always assess the inferior glide at the 30 deg of hip flexion and 30 deg of hip abduction FIRST
• Supine with involved knee and hip flexed • Belt placed around the patient's proximal thigh • Force is applied in a long axis traction • Hip inferior glide can be used for pain and improve abduction, and flexion

○ Observation standing test ○ Examination (all the components) ○ Dynamic Examination
When conducting a physical exam what type of findings could be found for someone who has Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI)? Whats the difference if the labrum is involved compared to the Iliopsoas tendon?
- Antalgic gait - Femoral anterior glide syndrome - Posterior tightness - Lumbar pathology and hypertonicity of ER (tight not allowing femoral head go posteriorly during hip flexion, get an obligatory force of the femoral head to come forward causing premature contact between the femoral head and acetabulum) - Pelvic tilt and occurrence of bony impingement (anterior pelvic tilt, posterior pelvic tilt increases the distance) - Possible + Thomas' Test - Possible + Ober's Test: excessive IR during squatting, could also decrease the distance of the acetabulum as well Iliopsoas tendon could get impinged from decreased joint clearance (look at RIMT and MMT) Labrum involved: clicking, buckling, locking and groin pain, positive findings in log roll and impingement test Iliopsoas involved: hip flexors groin pain when contracted
What type of findings would you find when conducting a history for someone who has a Labral Tear?
- Buckling - Clicking - Instability - Pain primarily in the anterior groin oMultiple RCT studies demonstrating the evidence for anterior hip pain and labral tear (warning intra-articular pathologies such as OA) oMultiple RCT studies demonstrate the evidence for buckling, clicking and instability providing useful diagnostic information for the presence of labral tear
What are some secondary predisposing factors for labral tears?
- Disease (Global): oLegg-Calve' Perthes disease oDown's and Marfan's syndromes - Mechanical trauma (focal): oTrauma ER with hyperextension oTorsion and loading (pivoting and twisting) o Femoral Anterior Glide Syndrome: Occurs when the head of the femur is unable to go in its appropriate backward gliding into the hip joint during hip flexion. Instead the head of the femur is forced forward into the joint resulting in an improper moving pattern. Placing pressure at the front of the hip, leading to pain and discomfort

What are some hip stress fracture interventions that should be considered? If you are dealing with a runner describe how much they should reduce their running if the patient has pain after running, if the patient present with pain during running and after but it does not affect their performance, and if the patient has pain during running after running and it affects their performance?
- Rest - Immobilization - Assistive device - Addressing predisposing factors -Hip Spica -Address LLD - Stretching (hip flexors, IT band, hamstrings) - Strengthening (glut med, glut max) (open chain-close chain, short lever arm-long lever arm) - Stationary bike (chair is at the level of the greater trochanter) - Aquatic therapy - If the patient has pain after running, than you can have the patient reduce running by 25% - If the patient presents with pain during running and after and it does not effect performance reduce running by 50% -Pain during, pain after and effects performance discontinue the running completely

What is the difference between Anatomical and Functional LLD? What is considered clinically significant? *Measured in cm
-Anatomical LLD: one leg is longer than the other one because of the tibia is longer or the femur could be longer, measured from the ASIS to the medial malleolus -Functional LLD: could be because of a functional shortening or compensation that makes one lower extremity longer than the other one or shorter. Could be due to adaptive shortening of soft tissues, could be a joint contractures, ligamentous laxity, or some kind of mild alignment of the lower extremity, measured from the Umbilicus to the medial malleolus -5 mm or greater
Where is the ischial bursitis (Weaver's bottom) located? What types of findings would you find in the history and the physical exam?

Typically pain that patients with hip intraarticular pathology usually present with -Intraarticular Pathology: any pathology inside the joint - Ex: Labral tears, Hip OA, Subchondral Lesions, and also Chondral defects - All of these patients usually present with C-type of pain as well as groin pain
When stretching the quadriceps you start the patient in sideling and have them pull the heel toward the buttock until stretch is felt in the front of thigh. What's another way we can do this stretch, what would be a progression from this stretch? *Make sure the hip is at zero or neutral extension
-Could use a gait belt (for those older patients) -Progress them could have them in prone (could also use a gait belt in this position as well), progress them further standing with the leg back (make sure they contract their gluts and rectus abdominis so you can do a posterior pelvic tilt)
Neuromuscular Reeducation Motor Control: What types of External and Internal cues can be given when asking a patient to perform a squat?
-External cues: -When the individuals attention is drawn on an object or a mental image outside of the body part in question Ex: While bending your knees keep your knees pointing at a cone you place directly in front of them (there attention is more directed towards the cone in front of them than their own body to avoid excessive adduction and IR or perhaps to avoid that knee going beyond the toe) Research has shown that External cues are superior to internal cues, this does not mean to not use internal cues, mixture of both with more emphasis on external cues is the more desired intervention Ex: if you want more hip hinge to occur tell your patients to visualize them sitting on a toilet when they are squatting. EX: Perhaps in front of a mirror and having tape in front of them and tell them to make sure when they are squatting that the knee does not touch or point toward the line that is more perhaps adducted and IR -Internal cues: - The individuals attention is drawn to the body part in question Ex: Bend your knees while keeping your knees over your feet avoiding bringing your knees towards the midline
For a patient that has FAI why do we want to encourage gluteus dominance over hamstring?
-Glut max origin and insertion closer to the joint makes the femoral head into a compact position on the acetabulum leads to more stability of the joint, and less pain -Want to encourage gluteus dominance, want to primarily recruit the glut max when we do extension type of exercise, squatting, prone hip extension, jumping -Hamstring dominance makes the femoral head excessively move into anteriorly during activities that require hip extension (do not want hamstring dominance) - Ex: Prone hip extension, creates more of an anterior glide of the femoral head against the acetabulum (excessive movement of the femoral head forward could lead to that impingement of the femoral head against the acetabulum)
Besides recruiting the hip abductors in a Clamshell I position what other muscles are recruited here? How can we progress this?
-Glut med, and Glut Max -Progress this exercise by placing a theraband around the distal end of the thigh -OR could progress to the Clamshell II them by having them in the same position where the bottom lower extremity is in 45 degrees of hip flexion, the knee at 90 degrees and the effected leg is in 0 degrees of extension and the knee is at 90 degrees while having the patient in this position will have them IR and ER the leg

When strengthening the hip Abductors we can have them starting in supine (gravity eliminated), the unaffected leg flexed at 90 degrees and 45 degrees at the hip while the effected leg is nice and straight (make sure there is no ER or IR) and it goes from midline out into abduction. How do we progress this, and is there another way to work on the abductors without having them stand?
-Have them lay on their side with the uninvolved lower extremity flexed approximately 45 degrees and the knee at 90 degrees. Gonna have the hip in neutral or zero degrees extension. Can progress by applying an ankle weight at the distal end of the thigh and could progress that by having the ankle weight at the distal end of the lower extremity instead -Could progress this exercise into the side plank (this recruits the most for the hip abductors. Get them into a blank position while the unaffected leg is on the TOP. It's the bottom leg that is getting all the loving (lower extremity that is getting the most recruitment.

Hip Assessment: During a hip assessment we start off taking a history thats used to identify a preliminary hypothesis, and or identify problems that require a referral to another provide. What position is preferred during Observation (standing or seated)? During a scanning test what other regions can be causing hip pain?
-Observation: Standing posture evaluation (prefer standing) -Scanning Test: If you don't know whether the pain is coming from the neighboring region. ○ For the hip it would be the lumbar spine (Lumbar ROM or Lumbar screening; have them flex, extend side bend and rotate to see if those movements reproduce the concordant symptoms that the patient is coming in with), perhaps the pain is coming from the knee itself ○ If Lumbar ROM reproduces the hip joint type of pain, should get a thorough evaluation of the Lumbar Spine *Can Scan for hip pathology by simply having a patient perform a squat. If the squatting reproduces the concordant pain will need to do a hip evaluation

Progress by placing an unstable surface like a therapeutic ball on the effected leg (have the patient squeeze their buttocks at the end of the motion) 3. Plank (back is nice and straight and make sure to tuck in your tummy muscles, no flexion occurring at the trunk, or extension of the lumbar spine, 10 second holds for 10 reps and progress to higher reps or longer holds) 4. Single leg plank recruits the most for the glut max exercises
