The “Thomas Test” was modified to assess the iliopsoas muscle in healthy patients. In Osteopathic medical schools, prone hip extension is also used to Assessment: appreciate a palpable barrier.

  • Does Hip Contracture Effect Anterior Pelvic Tilt Changes During Squatting?
    38th International Society of Biomechanics in Sport Conference, Physical conference cancelled, Online Activities: July 20-24, 2020 DOES HIP CONTRACTURE EFFECT ANTERIOR PELVIC TILT CHANGES DURING SQUATTING? Bryan Christensen1, Katie Lyman1, Derrick Grieshaber1,2, Harlene Hatterman-Valenti1 North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota, USA1 Fargo Force Ice Hockey Team, Fargo, ND, USA2 The purpose of this study was to examine possible effects of hip flexor contractures on changes in pelvic anterior tilt during the squat. Twenty recreationally active subjects were evaluated for hip contracture using the Modified Thomas test. Eight subjects were found to have iliopsoas contracture and twelve were found to have rectus femoris contracture. A 2x8 mixed-model repeated measures ANOVA was completed between the positive and negative hip contracture groups for both the iliopsoas and rectus femoris results. No significant differences were found between the hip contracture groups for the iliopsoas (p=.90) or the rectus femoris (p=.18). These results indicate the Modified Thomas test results about hip contracture do not have an effect on changes in pelvic motion during the squat. KEY WORDS: Hip flexors, iliopsoas, Modified Thomas Test, rectus femoris, squat INTRODUCTION: Flexibility and strength changes in muscles surrounding the body’s joints may affect posture and the chance of injury (Harvey, 1998; Winters et al., 2004; Zhu et al., 2010). Therefore, certified athletic trainers use special tests to evaluate the possiblility of injury or reinjury (Iversen et al., 2016; Winters et al., 2004). These tests can also be used to examine for abnormalities and the range of motion and flexibility of the hip/leg complex.

  • Differentiating Hip Pathology from Lumbar Spine Pathology: Key Points of Evaluation and Management
    Instructional Course Lecture Differentiating Hip Pathology From Lumbar Spine Pathology: Key Points of Evaluation and Management Abstract Aaron J. Buckland, MBBS, The diagnosis and treatment of patients who have both hip and lumbar FRACS spine pathologies may be a challenge because overlapping Ryan Miyamoto, MD symptoms may delay a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Rakesh D. Patel, MD Common complaints of patients who have both hip and lumbar spine pathologies include low back pain with associated buttock, groin, James Slover, MS, MD thigh, and, possibly, knee pain. A thorough patient history should be Afshin E. Razi, MD obtained and a complete physical examination should be performed in these patients to identify the primary source of pain. Plain and advanced imaging studies and diagnostic injections can be used to further delineate the primary pathology and guide the appropriate sequence of treatment. Both the surgeon and the patient should understand that, although one pathology is managed, the management of the other pathology may be necessary because of persistent pain. The recognition of both entities may help reduce the likelihood of misdiagnosis, and the management of both entities in the appropriate sequence may help reduce the likelihood of persistent symptoms. ip and lumbar spine patholo- symptoms is clear despite coexistent Hgies often occur in combina- hip and lumbar spine pathologies.
