Dysfunction of this anterior pelvic structure can cause disturbances with walking & running.
What is the pubic symphysis?
This image depicts a positive sign for this special test.
What is Thomas test?
When measuring hip adduction & abduction, the axis/fulcrum of the goniometer should be aligned with this landmark
What is the ASIS?
This structure makes up the medial border of the femoral triangle.
What is the Adductor longus muscle?
A posterior hip dislocation would present with this positioning.
What is hip adduction & internal rotation?
Depending on the location of pain experienced during FABER’s test, these two pathologies may be indicated.
What are iliopsoas spasm/injury & SI joint sprain?
These two tests can be used to assess for a hamstring contracture.
What are Tripod Sign & 90-90?
You are measuring your patient’s hip internal rotation, and note the right side is limited at 23 degrees. The normal values for hip internal rotation fall within this range of degrees.
What is 30-50 degrees?
Identify the bone marking.
What is intervertebral foramen?
While your patient walks into your clinic you notice their abnormal gait which resembles Trendenburg’s sign. This pattern would indicate weakness of this muscle.
What is the gluteus medius?
While performing the Quadrant test, localized pain is experienced by your patient. This reproduction of symptoms is indicative of this pathology.
What is a facet joint pathology?
The special test used in the diagnosis of femoral acetabular impingement is known by its acronym, which stand for this.
What is flexion, adduction, & internal rotation?
When using the dual inclinometer technique to measure lumbar flexion, the inclinometers should be placed on these landmark.
What are L1 spinous process & the sacrum?
The proximal attachment for the muscle group responsible for decelerating knee extension & hip flexion during running can be palpated on this landmark.
What is the ischial tuberosity?
Weakness or reflex inhibition of the psoas major muscle causes this compensatory gait whereby, during the swing phase, lateral rotation & flexion of the trunk occur with hip adduction. The trunk & pelvic movements are exaggerated.
Legg-Calve Perthes disease
A wrestler who has sustained repetitive severe anterior thigh trauma should be protected from this secondary injury during subsequent practices and games.
What is myositis ossificans?
Your patient is experiencing pain with prolonged sitting. During your evaluation, you would like to take a look at how his SI joint is moving and decide to use these two special tests.
What are Gillet’s & Forward bend?
You are assessing your patient’s hip extension strength. To eliminate the hamstrings, this modification should be made to the patient’s position.
What is knee flexion?
When palpating the proximal insertion of the rectus femoris muscle, this bony landmark should be palpated.
What is the anterior inferior iliac spine?
During observation of a patient’s hip & pelvis you note that while the patient is standing erect her left anterior superior iliac spine is slightly inferior to her right side. This condition might be associated with this observation.
What is an Anteriorly rotated left ilium?
An 18-year-old diver reports LBP exacerbated with lumbar extension & relieved with lumbar flexion. Pain is described as localized & primarily dull & achy. She denies radiating or radicular pain. Based on this patient’s sport & history, this injury can be suspected.
What is spondylolysis?
As an AT completing an evaluation, you are concerned that the patient’s pain may be related to vertebral disc damage. These three special tests would best assist in ruling out this pathology.
What are Well SLR, Kernig-Brudzinski test, & Valsalva’s maneuver?
During a MMT, your patient demonstrates weakness of the primary hip flexors. These muscles include:
What are iliacus, psoas major, psoas minor, rectus femoris, & sartorius?
The three muscles that originate at the hip, insert into the medial aspect of the tibia just distal to the medial condyle via a common tendon.
What are the sartorius, gracilis, & semimembranosus?
An offensive lineman exhibits lumbar hyperlordosis. Following the lower cross syndrome description, this is the typical anatomical profile found with excessive hyperlordosis.
What is tightened or shortened hip flexor or back extensor muscles, with weakened or elongated hip extensor or abdominal muscles?
