Best Practice Case Studies-Case 134 Asset 3 Hip Pathology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker, a physical therapist, explains femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a hip condition caused by extra bone growth on the femoral head (CAM) or acetabulum (pincer), which limits movement and often causes pain with hip flexion. She demonstrates treatment techniques to reduce pain and improve mobility, including hip joint mobilizations with a belt and towel for comfort. She shows inferior and lateral glides, which can be done in short bouts while checking patient tolerance. If a belt isn’t available, she describes manual traction in an open-packed hip position to gently distract the joint and improve range of motion.
