Management of Hip Impairments - Evidence-Based Individualized Assessment, Manual Therapy and Functional Exercise
Course Overview
In this lecture, participants will gain a solid foundation in the evidence-based management of hip impairments through individualized assessment, targeted manual therapy techniques, and functional exercise integration. Designed for healthcare professionals aiming to expand their expertise, the lecture covers essential hands-on approaches to accurately assess hip function, apply effective manual interventions, and tailor rehabilitation exercises to improve patient outcomes.
Chapters & Learning Objectives
Chapter 1- Course Objectives, Emergent Considerations: Managing Acute Hip Pain.
: 00:03 Hour
This lecture provides healthcare practitioners with the essential tools to manage acute hip pain effectively, focusing on immediate assessment, critical considerations, and targeted interventions. Participants will learn to identify key diagnostic signs, prioritize emergent factors in acute cases, and apply rapid-response manual therapy techniques to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Chapter 2 -Differential diagnosis, Concerns, Findings & Actions for Insidious Pathology of Hip Joint
: 00:07 Hour
This chapter equips practitioners with a structured approach to identifying and managing insidious hip pathologies, emphasizing differential diagnosis and clinical decision-making.The chapter outlines practical actions and advanced assessment techniques to uncover subtle symptoms, ensuring that early intervention and appropriate management strategies are implemented.
Chapter 3 - Hip/Pelvis Fracture (Subjective History, Indications, Special Tests)
: 00:07 Hour
In this chapter, learners will develop a comprehensive understanding of diagnosing hip and pelvis fractures through patient history, clinical indications, and specialized testing.Participants will learn to recognize critical fracture indicators and apply relevant special tests to confirm a diagnosis accurately. By focusing on practical assessment skills and decision-making, this chapter prepares clinicians to identify and manage hip and pelvis fractures effectively in a variety of patient scenarios.
Chapter 4: Intra-Articular Pathology of Hip Joint (FIRST TEST, FADIR & FABER)
: 00:12 Hour
This chapter delves into the assessment and diagnosis of intra-articular hip pathologies, with a focus on the FIRST Test, FADIR, and FABER maneuvers. Learners will gain insight into when and how to use these essential tests to differentiate between common intra-articular conditions, such as labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
Chapter 5 - Differential Diagnosis (Hip pain that is NOT HIP PAIN)
: 00:07 Hour
This chapter explores the concept of referred and non-hip-origin pain, equipping practitioners to distinguish hip pain from other sources. Focusing on differential diagnosis, it provides insights into identifying conditions that mimic hip pain. Clinicians will learn to apply targeted assessments and recognize referral patterns, helping them differentiate between true hip pathology and other musculoskeletal or systemic causes.
Chapter 6 - Evidence-Based Examination of Hip Joint (HIPTION)
: 00:20 Hour
This chapter introduces HIPTION, a systematic approach to the evidence-based examination of the hip joint. Designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy, HIPTION guides practitioners through a structured sequence of assessment techniques to evaluate joint function, mobility, and pathology. Emphasizing clinical relevance, it covers reliable examination methods rooted in current research, including palpation, range of motion, and strength tests.
Chapter 7 - Hip Labral Presentations; Assessment and Management of Hip Osteoarthritis (HIP OA)
: 00:07 Hour
This chapter focuses on the assessment and management of two common hip conditions: labral injuries and hip osteoarthritis (HIP OA). It begins by examining hip labral presentations, covering key assessment techniques to identify labral tears and related pathology. The chapter then delves into a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and managing HIP OA, from early signs to advanced stages.
Chapter - 8 Evidence-Based Assessment and Management of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS)
: 00:14 Hour
In this chapter, clinicians will explore an evidence-based approach to assessing and managing Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS), a prevalent cause of lateral hip pain. The chapter outlines effective assessment techniques, including special tests and palpation methods, to accurately diagnose GTPS and differentiate it from other hip pathologies.Additionally, it presents a range of evidence-supported interventions, from manual therapy to functional exercise prescriptions, aimed at reducing pain and restoring hip function.
Chapter - 9 Manual Therapy Interventions and Functional Exercises: Hip and Regional Impairments
: 00:14 Hour
This chapter provides a comprehensive guide to manual therapy techniques and functional exercises tailored for hip and regional impairments. Clinicians will learn a variety of hands-on interventions, including mobilization, manipulation, and muscle energy techniques, designed to improve hip joint mobility and address surrounding regional dysfunctions. The chapter also emphasizes the integration of functional exercises that enhance strength, stability, and movement patterns for long-term recovery
