QUESTION # 2

 

SCROLL DOWN FOR ANSWERS.

QUESTION # 1

The correct answer choice is ischiofemoral impingement.  When the clinician moves the hip into extension when the hip is already in an adducted and externally rotated position, this causes ischiofemoral impingement as the lesser trochanter impinges on the ischium, and could be a cause of posterior hip pain.

Check out the excellent article below that was published recently in IJSPT.  This is an excellent article to review prior to taking the OCS or SCS.  Especially for the OCS, a knowledge of the spine, brachial plexus, and lumbosacral plexus is crucial to passing the test!
