Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy II - Lower Extremity Pathologies
- Course information: PT 892, Fall 2024, LIU Brooklyn School of Health Professions, Doctor of Physical Therapy Program.
- Course instructors include: Michael Masaracchio, PT, DPT, PhD, OCS, FAAOMPT, Associate Professor and Chair, and others.
- Faculty members also include: Clinical Director Masefield and Cavallaro Physical Therapy, President of CM OrthoSports Inc., Vice-President of APTA New York, Vice Chair of ACAPT, and APTA Education Leadership Fellowship, class of 2022.
Bony Anatomy of the Hip
- Hip (coxal) bone is structured from the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
- Ilium has key landmarks: ASIS, AIIS, PSIS, PIIS, ischial spine, tuberosity.
- Pubis includes superior/inferior pubic ramus, pubic tubercle
- Acetabulum comprises cartilage and labrum for congruence and proprioception.
- Femur includes head, neck, greater and lesser trochanters, intertrochanteric line, crest, linea aspera, pectineal line.
Ligamentous Anatomy of the Hip
- Iliofemoral ligament restricts hyperextension/abduction and supports upright posture
- Ischiofemoral ligament restricts excessive hip ER
- Pubofemoral ligament restricts hip hyperextension/abduction and excessive ER
- Ligamentum teres restricts excessive ER during hip flexion (MRI).
Muscles of the Anterior Thigh
- Iliopsoas: hip flexion
- Rectus femoris: hip flexion
- Vastus lateralis
- Vastus intermedialis
- Vastus medialis
- Sartorius
Muscles of the Medial Thigh
- Adductor longus
- Adductor brevis
- Adductor magnus
- Gracilis
- Obturator externus
Muscles of the Posterior Hip
- Gluteus maximus: hip extension and external rotation
- Gluteus medius: hip abduction and internal rotation
- Gluteus minimus: hip abduction and internal rotation stabilizer
- Piriformis:
- Superior gemellus: ER and abduction in 90° flexion
- Obturator internus: ER and abduction in 90° flexion
- Inferior gemellus: ER
- Quadratus femoris: ER, possible adduction
Neurovascular Anatomy
- Lumbar plexus (L1-L4): ventral rami, major nerve roots, ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves.
- Sacrococcygeal plexus (L4-S4): cluneal nerves, superior gluteal nerve, inferior gluteal nerve, nerve to the obturator internus, nerve to the quadratus femoris, sciatic nerve, and pudendal nerve.
Examination
- Includes review of patient history, radiographic/other information, functional outcome measures (LEFS, KOS, FAAM);
- Screening exam (when coming from spine): movement analysis (squat, step down, lateral step down, gait), bridge with leg extension test, pelvic tilt test, Active Range of Motion (AROM), Passive Range of Motion (PROM), and resistive tests (MMT).
