1. Acute Care Lab Spring ‘10

2.  Adduction ◦ Move toward the midline of the body (medial)  ABduction ◦ Move away from the midline of the body (lateral)  Flexion ◦ Move the extremity up (anteriorly)  Extension ◦ Move the extremity back (posteriorly)

3.  Pelvis ◦ You ‘hips’ ◦ Head of femur sits in the acetabulum for ambulation  Muscle attachments  Femur ◦ Quadriceps muscles (anterior) ◦ Hamstring muscles (posterior)

4.  Made up of three bones ◦ Ilium ◦ Ischium ◦ Pubic  Serves as origin for muscles

5.  Hip flexor ◦ Flexes the hip  Commonly injured in sprinters, runners  Hip adductors ◦ Adduct the hip  ‘pulled groin’  pain on the medial aspect of the leg  Hip abductors ◦ Abduct the hip  Pain on the lateral aspect of the leg

10.  Quadriceps muscles ◦ Flexes the knee  Commonly strained  Hamstring muscles ◦ Extends the knee  Also commonly strained

13.  Standing, hip in slight flexion, leg in slight internal rotation ◦ Lateral to medial (6” double)  Wrap two to three times around upper leg  Wrap around the pelvis, pulling across the abdomen and torso and back to the leg  Repeat until wrap is gone  Secure wrap with tape

15.  Standing, hip in slight flexion ◦ Medial to lateral (6” double)  Beginning at the quadriceps wrap two to three anchors  Pulling medial to lateral  At the waist, wrap around pulling across the abdomen, torso and back to the hip  Repeat until wrap is gone  Secure wrap with tape

17.  Standing, hip in slight flexion ◦ Medial to lateral (6” single)  Begin at the distal aspect of the leg  Anterior aspect of the leg  Pulling medial to lateral, overlap by half  Pulling up the leg  Distal to proximal  Continue until wrap is gone  Secure with tape

18.  Standing, hip in slight flexion ◦ Medial to lateral (6” single)  Begin at the distal aspect of the leg  Posterior aspect of the leg  Pulling medial to lateral, overlap by half  Pulling up the leg  Distal to proximal  Continue until wrap is gone  Secure with tape
