Osteoarthritis of the Hip

Osteoafthritis of tłu• hip is dcgnerativc dcstruction of the articuiar surfaces within Ute joint 11 may be assodatcd with normal degenertiw changes from chronię impact loading causcd by high lcvcls ot physical activity. The etiology of chronię hip effussion may be unknown, the resulting chrome joint effeusion will cause continuing degcncrative changes, and decreased muscle funefion,

The Kincsio taping method will assist by rcducing effusion and joint pain.

Initial treatment for inflammation or edema is provided by applying two Kinesio lymphatic correc-tive strips. For complete review sce lymphatic correcHve technique.

Begin by placing the first lymphatic Kinesio fan base approximately at the anterior superior iliac spine. Angle the fan tails at a 45 degrees in a poste* rior and inferior direction.

The second lymphatic fans base is approximately at the posterior superior iliac spine. Angle the fan tails at a 45 degrees in a anterior and inferior direc* tion.

The fan strips should form a crisscross pattem.

Basic Kinesio Taping Technique for the gluteus medius muscle using a Y strip. This in an origin to insertion application.

Begin base of Kinesio Y strip on the lateral surface of the greater trochanter with no tension.

Place the patient in hip flexion, adduction and extemal rota tion.

Direct the anterior taił towards the anterior inferior iliac spine, with light, 15-25% of available, or paper off tension. Lay the finał 1-2 inches down with no tension.

Direct the posterior taił towards the posterior inferior iliac spine, with light, 15-25% of available, or paper off tension. Lay the finał 1-2 inches down with no tension. Intitiate glue activation prior to any further patient movement.

The iłiotibiał band attaches to the tensor fascia lata muscle and generally is not invołved due to weak-ness, but inereased tension in the iłiotibiał band.

The iłiotibiał band taping application can begin at either the origin or insertion. For this application the origin to insertion technique will be shown.

Begin by measuring the length of Kinesio Tex required. Place the base of the Kinesio I strip superior to the iliac crest with no tension.

A second application method is shown in the iłiotibiał band friction syndrome.

Place the patient in a strctched position for the iłiotibiał band. Apply light, 15-25 % of available, or paper off tension along the entire length of the ilitotibial band.

End the taping application by applying the end of the Kinesio strip slightly below the insertion of the ilitotibial band, gertc's tubercle.

Completed application of the Kinesio Taping Method for osteoarthritis of the hip.

Optional application of the star technique to reduce edema or inflammation directly over the area of pain or edema.
