This is Brent of the Brookbush
00:00:0400:00:07
Institute, and in this video we're doing
00:00:0700:00:12
a special or orthopedic test for the hip, this is the impingement provocation test
00:00:1200:00:17
for the posterior inferior labrum. I'm going to have my friend Crystal come out,
00:00:1700:00:25
she's going to help me demonstrate. Now this test is is not a hard test to do, it is a
00:00:2500:00:29
little different than some of the other special tests we've done. We'll find that
00:00:2900:00:35
the special tests for the hip tend to be very anterior dominated. A lot of them
00:00:3500:00:40
have to do with like some sort of anterior impingement or osteoarthritis
00:00:4000:00:47
of the anterior femoral head and acetabulum, or anterior labrum. But every once in a
00:00:4700:00:50
while you'll get that odd patient who comes in and they're complaining about
00:00:5000:00:56
maybe buttock pain with activity, they're complaining about a pinching when they
00:00:5600:00:59
go into hyperextension, and you start thinking well that doesn't really sound
00:00:5900:01:05
like an anterior hip issue, I need to have a test that I can see if there's
00:01:0500:01:09
something going on with the posterior hip. Specifically the posterior inferior
00:01:0900:01:14
hip, which is where this test comes in handy, and it's fairly simple to do.
00:01:1400:01:19
You're going to have your patient or client lay down, move all the way to the edge of
00:01:1900:01:23
the table on the side that's affected, and then you're just going to guide their
00:01:2300:01:29
leg off the table into abduction, external rotation, and hyperextension. And
00:01:2900:01:37
if this provokes their symptoms, then this would be a positive test. Alright,
00:01:3700:01:42
so one more time, if I just let her fall and go ahead and relax for me, there you
00:01:4200:01:44
go, and then she just falls into abduction,
00:01:4400:01:52
external rotation and hyperextension. How does that feel Crystal? Fine, okay so that
00:01:5200:01:58
would be a negative impingement provocation test for the posterior
00:01:5800:02:05
inferior labrum. Now if she was positive what would that tell us. Well we think
00:02:0500:02:08
this might be a sensitive test, although we need a little bit more research on
00:02:0800:02:12
this test there's just not that much research. Is it specific, it's kind of
00:02:1200:02:17
hard to tell. Is it posterior impingement or is a posterior labrum, we've
00:02:1700:02:20
kind of noticed that when it comes to the hip, specificity with all of our
00:02:2000:02:28
special tests is a problem. But as far as its use, I think it's a great test to
00:02:2800:02:34
fill in that hole for those individuals who don't fit the very typical anterior
00:02:3400:02:40
hip pain. If somebody did come in positive and this provoked their
00:02:4000:02:44
symptoms, this would be a test I would use as a quick test where I could go
00:02:4400:02:48
okay boom there's my concordance sign right. The sign that provoked their
00:02:4800:02:53
symptoms. Now I can do my intervention, and I have something to come back to to see
00:02:5300:02:59
if my interventions worked. Again assess, address and reassess. This is a fairly
00:02:5900:03:04
simple test to do that. So again guys this would be a test that I would I
00:03:0400:03:09
would think towards, okay somebody has some buttock pain, or they have like
00:03:0900:03:15
maybe even lateral to posterior pain of the hip. It tends to come on with
00:03:1500:03:23
activity, maybe long term sitting we could we could look into, but probably
00:03:2300:03:27
more along the lines of higher intensity stuff where they're going into
00:03:2700:03:32
hyperextension. Maybe pain while walking in the buttock, alright good I need to I
00:03:3200:03:36
need to check this out. Again just let their leg fall off and
00:03:3600:03:39
guide them into some external rotation as you pull them down, alright
00:03:3900:03:43
ask them that question of is this the symptoms you were talking about?
00:03:4300:03:50
Yeah, okay and in that case it would be a positive. This would become my quick
00:03:5000:03:54
test, or my pretest post-test as I go through it, my interventions. Guys keep
00:03:5400:03:59
this one in the the back of your brains, it's not going to be something you use
00:03:5900:04:04
often, but it will come up I can promise you that.
