Study Notes
Assessment of Lower Limb: Hip and Knee in Physiotherapy
- Hip region pathologies include arthritis, femoroacetabular impingement, bursitis, fracture, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, athletic pubalgia, and more.
- Knee pathologies include arthritis, meniscus tear, sprain/tear of ligaments, femoropatella syndrome, bursitis, and more.
- Lower limb assessment involves visual inspection for swelling, discoloration, muscle atrophy, scars, deformity, and Q-angle.
- Active and passive range of motion tests are used to diagnose non-contractile and contractile dysfunctions.
- Hip range of motion can be tested using a goniometer, with intraexaminer and interexaminer reliability scores, and normal ranges for flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation.
- Knee range of motion can also be tested using a goniometer, with high intraexaminer and interexaminer reliability scores, and normal ranges for flexion and extension.
- Passive arthrokinematic mobilization can help assess hip and knee joint mobility and pain.
- Lower limb neurogenic pain can be due to various conditions such as sciatic pain, femoral neuropathy, and lumbar disc herniation.
- Palpation of various muscles and joints in the lower limb can help identify pathologies, including greater trochanter, pelvictrocanteric muscles, tensor fasciae latae, iliotibial band, quadriceps femoris muscle, adductors, gracilis, sartorius, and femoral triangle.
- Orthopaedic tests for the hip include Trendelemburg, Ober's, Thomas, femoroacetabular impingement, and Patrick's (FABER) tests.
- Orthopaedic tests for the knee include sweep, fluctuation, patellar grind (Clarke's), Appley, McMurray, varus and valgus stress, anterior and posterior drawer, and Lachman tests.
- Various self-report questionnaires such as Lower Extremity Functional Scale, WOMAC, Oxford Hip and Knee Scores, and International Knee Documentation Committee can be used to assess physical function, symptoms, and pain perception in patients with lower limb conditions.
