Course Description:
The interactions of the lumbar spine and hip are particularly important to physical therapy. Though kinesiology stresses the interaction of the kinetic chain, this information is not commonly used in practice for examination and treatment. Therefore, the challenge is determining whether pain in the hip region is from the lumbar spine, the hip, or both. When hip joint motion is restricted, lumbopelvic motion will become the site of compensatory movement. Thus the interaction of the hip and lumbar spine becomes particularly important. This lecture will describe the movement system impairment (MSI) syndromes of the lumbar spine and the hip joint. The discussion will include factors contributing to these syndromes particularly as they relate to the passive and active characteristics of muscle and on structural variations of the hip joints. The clinical and laboratory evidence of back and hip interactions will be discussed. The presentation will help clarify how the pain pattern and the examination that includes correcting the offending movement can assist the therapist in determining the regional source of the pain.
Learning Objectives
1. Describe the Movement System Impairment (MSI) Concepts and factors contributing to development of pain syndromes
2. Discuss concepts of a joint’s directional susceptibility to movement and relative flexibility of muscle and connective tissue and their relationship to movement impairments
3. Discuss the MSI syndromes of the lumbar spine
4. Discuss the MSI syndromes of the hip joint
5. Describe the examination and treatment for the MSI syndromes of the lumbar spine
6. Describe the examination and treatment for the MSI syndromes of the hip joint
7. Discuss the interactions of the lumbar spine and hip as affected by muscular and structural factors.
8. Discuss the evidence for the interactions of the spine and hip.
