An improperly treated quadriceps contusion can result in what pathology?

Myositis ossificans (heterotrophic ossificans)

This pathology is a partial tear. It is identified by a sharp snap, severe pn, and loss of function (<70% of fibers are torn). This structure is a hip extender and knee flexor. 

What is a Grade 2 hamstring tear?

100

The pt. sits at the edge of the table, knees are hanging off. The pt. then lifts the hip into midrange of flexion. The AT applies resistance at the distal end of the femur. What muscle is being tested?

Iliopsoas

100
Name this test: this test requires the pt. to lie supine w/ one knee flexed to the chest. The opposite knee is over the table's end. If the hip flexors are tight, the leg that is on the table's edge will not remain flat on the table. If the rectus femoris is tight, the knee will also extend over the table's edge. 

What is Kendall's test?

If the toes point out when the pt is standing then what hip variation do they have?

Retroversion 

200

This pathology is avascular necrosis of the femoral head in children ages 4 to 10. Only 25% of accounts are caused by trauma. The articular cartilage becomes necrotic and flattens. The pt may cc pn in the groin that may refer to the abdomen or knee. There could be a possible limp. 

What is Legg-Calve-Perthes disease? 

200

The pt. lies on their side and their top leg is lifted into the air (midrange of abduction). What muscle is being tested?

Gluteus medius

200

Name this test: this is used for hip contractures. The pt. lies supine on the table w/ their arms across their chest, legs together, and fully extended. The AT pushes one knee towards the chest. The extended thigh should remain flat on the table. If not, there is a hip contracture. 

What is the Thomas test?

The measurement taken from the belly button to the medial malleolus is known as what?

This pathology is found mainly in boys ages 10 to 17. They are typically tall, thin, or obese. It could be related to growth-hormone. 25% of cases are seen in both hips. Trauma accounts for only 25% of cases. The head of the femur may slip. An x-ray may display a posterior or inferior slippage. 

What is slipped capital femoral epiphysis?

What sports could result in urinary incontinence? Name 2. 

Gymnastics and Track/Field.

If you are testing strength for hip internal rotation, does the hand apply resistance at the medial or lateral aspect of the lower leg?

400

Name the test that can be used to identify an SI jt. dysfunction?

What are the SI jt compression and distraction tests?

500

What is the position of the hip when you come to it and realize it's a posterior hip dislocation?
