Description
The hip joint is under-assessed in prosthetic clinical practice, and limitations can be significantly impactful to recovery and mobility after amputation. A sound understanding of the role the hip joint plays in balance and mobility is vital for recognizing and addressing deficits in order to promote better mobility and greater quality of life among adults with lower-limb loss. Join Samantha Stauffer, CPO, MSOP, as she discusses different approaches to timely evaluation of this area, how to interpret your findings, and what this may mean for your patient.
Following this panel discussion, attendees will be able to:
- Identify clinical markers of hip joint impairment among adults with lower-limb loss
- Understand the different evaluation methods for assessing hip joint strength, range of motion, and pain
- Interpret clinically relevant findings as they relate to mobility among adults with lower-limb loss
- Develop a referral plan for patients with hip joint impairment
