The patient has pain in their posterior thigh and hip area that increases with sitting and activity. Physical examination found reduced range of motion and muscle weakness in the hip area. Two hypotheses were considered - referred pain from a low back problem or piriformis syndrome, but tests were negative. Examination of the hip found limited extension, tight muscles, a positive Ober test indicating tight iliopsoas, and reproduction of snapping with movement confirming snapping hip syndrome. The proposed treatment plan will include home exercises to address the snapping hip syndrome.

including home exercises Cannot sit for pain pain assessment :(location, - Location: posterior long time nature, severity (VAS), aspect of thigh aggravating/relieving factors) -nature: electrical pain -severity: 7/10 - aggravating/relieving factors: increased with sitting and relieved with standing. ( according to the pain assessment we thought of two hypothesis) Low back problem referred to -low back AROM -centralization with the thigh (classification -Repeated/sustained extension, system) movement peripheralization with -low back classification staging flexion (Oswestry scale) - centralization with -reevaluation from time to extension, time to re stage the patient at peripheralization with the classification system flexion FROM PRONE/STANDING -Stage 1- extension category Piriformis syndrome 1-passive internal rotation 1-negative: (no from sitting and prone difference in ROM between sitting and prone+ no reproduction of - - symptoms-electrical pain) 2-Piriformis Test (flexibility 2- negative: no test) reproduction of symptoms-electrical pain Walking Pain 1-pain assessment :(location, 1- Location: anterior limitation severity (VAS), right hip pain aggravating/relieving factors) -severity: 5/10 -aggravating/relieving factors: pain increased in physical 2- symptoms coming with pain activity and is better with resting 2- the patient reported hip snapping with movement- (this led us to thinking of snapping hip syndrome) Limited ROM AROM/PROM+END FEEL /goniometric measurement Limited extension ROM with muscle tightness end feel
