The Hip A ball and socket joint Ø Hip transmits the load from the foot to the spine and vice versa Ø
Blood & Nerve Supply Ø Femoral artery Ø Common Iliac Vein Ø Femoral Nerve Ø Sciatic Nerve l l Largest nerve in the body Innervates thigh and lower leg
Bursae Ø Iliopsoas and deep trochanteric bursae l Most important ones
Injury Ø Trochanteric Bursitis l l MOI: • Common at the greater trochanter, high in women w/ increased Q angle, or leg length discrepancy • Inflammation of bursa, or insertion of gluteus medius, or IT band S/S: • c/o pain on lateral hip • Radiating pain down to the knee • Tenderness over greater trochanter TX: • PRICE, NSAIDS, ROM, PREs, no inclined running Special Tests: Obers,
Ober’s Test -Athlete lays on unaffected side -Knee flexed at 90 degrees -Lift top leg into abduction, slight hip extension -Allow the affected leg to drop into adduction -If leg does NOT drop = + tight IT band
Bones Ø Sacrum, Coccyx l Ø Pelvis l l l Ø Innominate bones: ossify and fuse early in life Support the spine and trunk Transfer their weight to the lower limbs Placement for bony attachment Ilium, Ischium, Pubis l Make up pelvis
Injuries Ø Hip Pointer (contusion) l MOI • blow to inadequately protected iliac crest • Most handicapping injury in sports, difficult to manage l S/S • Immediate pain, spasms, transitory paralysis of soft structures • Unable to rotate the trunk or to flex the thigh with out pn l TX • RICE, referral, x-ray, ice massage, ultrasound, injection • Doughnut pad for return to play
Hip dislocation

Joint) l MOI • Twists with both feet on the ground • Stumbles forward, falls backward, steps in hole l S/S • Pain over joint, muscle guarding, radiating pain down back of gluteus and hamstring • Asymmetrical ASIS/PSIS or leg length difference l TX • Modalities, brace, stability exercises l Special Test: FABERS/Patricks
FABERs /Patrick Test Ø Procedure: Place foot on the opposite extended knee of the painful SI joint Ø Apply pressure downward on the bent knee. Ø Positive test: Pain felt in hip or SI jt. = SI joint dysfunction
Ø Anterior l Muscles Iliacus • Triangular shaped, flexes the hip l Psoas (major and minor) • Flexes the hip l Sartorius • Crosses medially across anterior thigh • Hip flexion, and external rotation l Rectus Femoris • Hip flexion and knee extension

Piriformis stretch
Hip Abduction Ø Practice Hip MMTs for abduction adduction, and flexion Ø Practice the piriformis stretch
Muscles Ø Medial adductors and rotators of the hip l Gracilis l • Adduction, external rotation l Pectineus • Adduction, external rotation l Adductor longus, brevis and magnus • Adduction, external rotation
Injuries Ø Groin Strain (adductor/Hip flexor strain) l MOI • Torn during twist or pull while running or jumping l S/S • Feel twinge or tearing during an AROM • may feel worse the next day • Pain, weakness, bruising l TX • PRICE, analgesics, ROM and PREs • Rest is the best treatment, protective spica l Special Tests: MMTs
Thomas Test Ø Procedure: Athletes lies supine legs together Ø ATC places on hand under athletes lumbar curve Ø One thigh is brought to the chest flattening the spine. Ø Return bent leg to extended position, lumbar curve should return. Ø Positive Test: Extended thigh should be flat on the table, if not = tight hip flexor
Kendall test Procedure: Athlete lies supine with knees off table Athlete brings one leg to their chest Positive Test: If thigh comes off the table = tight hip flexor
Injury Ø Quad Contusion l MOI l • Moderate pain and swelling, limping, cannot flex knee TX: flx w/ice pack , PRICE, NSAIDS, PREscrutches Severe/Grade 4 • deeper • Pain, swelling • cannot flex knee more than 90 degrees Grade 3 • Superficial bruise • Mild hemorrhage, pain, no swelling, pt tenderness • Full ROM Grade 2 Grade 1 • Direct blow to the thigh • Disability, may split the fasciae • Severe pain, limited ROM, limp
Injury Ø Myositis Ossificans Traumatica l MOI: • Severe blow or repeated blows to thigh, usually the quadriceps • Can lead to ectopic bone production (myosositis ossificans) l S/S: • Pain, swelling, decreased function l TX: • Conservative, surgery one year later l Special Tests: • AROM knee flexion/ext

Measuring for Leg length Ø 2 main ways: l l Anatomical discrepancy Functional discrepancy
Anatomical discrepancy (true method) ASIS (actual bone is shortened) Athlete lies supine with legs straight Measurement is taken between the medial malleoli and ASIS Bilaterally compare Malleoli
Functional discrepancy Due to pelvic tilt or deformity Athlete lies supine, legs straight Measurement is taken from umbilicus to the medial malleoli Bilaterally compare
Hip Assessment Sports Med 2
History • What are your symptoms – Weakness, disability, pain – Can they move their leg in a circle? • Describe pain – felt mainly in groin and medial frontal part of the thigh, can also refer to the knee – Is it radiating, tingly, dull, achy? • When does the activity occur? • How old is the athlete?
Observation • Should observe while standing in all directions, standing on one leg, and walking • Front view – Are the hips even? – lateral tilted hip could = a leg length discrepancy or muscle contraction on one side • Side view – Abnormal tilt of the pelvis, anterior/posterior – indicate lordosis or flat back
Observation • Lower limb alignment – – Genu valgum (knocked knees) Genu varum (bow legged) Genu recurvatum (hyper-extended) Patellar alignment • Even PSIS – indicate a lateral shift of the pelvis • Standing on one leg could produce hip pain, indicate pain in pubic symphysis, or abductor weakness • Ambulation: observe while walking and sitting • Walking will cause distortion
Bony Palpation • Anterior – Anterior Superior iliac spine (ASIS) – Iliac crest – Greater trochanter – Pubic tubercle (we wont do this one!) • Posterior – Posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) – Ischial tuberosity (we won’t do this one!) – Sacroiliac joint
Palpation • Soft tissue: we won’t be doing these either! – – Groin region Femoral triangle Sciatic nerve Major muscles
Palpation • Groin palpitations – Could be caused by • Swollen lymph nodes, indicating infection • Adductor muscle strain
Palpation • Muscle Palpation: for pain swelling or fiber disruption – Iliopsoas – Sartorius – Rectus femoris at the hip joint – Gracilis – Pectineus – Adductors – Gluteals – Hamstrings

n Athlete must maintain cardiorespiratory fitness ¨ Bike ¨ swimming Total body strengthening n Muscle endurance n Proper stretching n Proprioception n PNF n Important to remember that initial rehab must be pain free n
Phase 1 Isometric contractions n ROM n ¨ PNF n stretching Pool Rehab (non-wt. bearing) ¨ running ¨ Kicking ¨ ROM
Phase 2 Passive Stretching n Balancing n Isotonic contractions n ¨ Squatting ¨ Hamstring curls ¨ Pilates ¨ High knees ¨ Ball squeezes
n n Phase 3 Static and Dynamic Stretching Lunges MMTs w/band resistance Squatting ¨ On n bosu ball or with weight Hamstring curls ¨ With n weight Pilates ¨ Increase n difficulty High knees ¨ Sprint with resistance band on waist
Muscle Energy Techniques n n Uses muscle contraction to help realign bones/joints “shotgun” adduction/abduction ¨ For n pubic symphysis Flexion/Extension ¨ For anterior/posterior rotation
Functional testing (phase 3) n n n n n Squatting Going up and down stairs one/two at a time Crossing the leg Running straight ahead Running and decelerating Running and twisting One legged hop Jumping Zig zag running
Return to play criteria n n Full ROM in all movements Pain free Bilateral strength stability
