Study Notes
Assessment of Lower Limb: Hip and Knee Assessment in Physiotherapy
- The hip region can be affected by various pathologies including arthritis, femoroacetabular impingement, bursitis, and fractures.
- The knee can be affected by arthritis, meniscus tears, ligament sprains/tears, chondromalacia, and bursitis, among others.
- Lower limb assessment includes visual inspection for swelling, skin discoloration, bruising, muscle atrophy, scars, deformity/abnormal posture, and Q-angle.
- Active and passive range of motion assessment can help diagnose noncontractile and contractile dysfunctions.
- Hip range of motion can be measured using a goniometer, with intra- and inter-examiner reliability ranging from 0.5 to 0.94 for different movements.
- Knee range of motion is typically 120-150o flexion and 0-10o extension.
- Passive arthrokinematic mobilization can be done on the hip and knee joints to assess and treat dysfunctions.
- Lower limb neurogenic pain can be caused by various conditions such as sciatica, femoral neuropathy, and lumbar disc herniation.
- Palpation of various muscles and structures in the lower limb such as the quadriceps femoris, adductors, and iliotibial band can help diagnose pathologies.
- Hip orthopaedic tests such as Trendelenburg, Ober's, and femoroacetabular impingement tests can help diagnose specific pathologies.
- Knee orthopaedic tests such as the sweep test, patellar grind test, and varus/valgus stress test can help diagnose pathologies such as meniscus tears and collateral ligament injuries.
- Various self-report questionnaires such as the Lower Extremity Functional Scale, WOMAC, Oxford Hip and Knee Scores, and International Knee Documentation Committee can help assess physical function, pain, and symptoms in patients with lower limb conditions.
