Abstract

The invention relates to a device which is intended to asses the flexibility of the ischiotibial muscles during flexion of the hip. Said flexibility can be assessed actively or passively in either of the lower limbs. The inventive device comprises two mobile arms (2 and 3) which rotate around a pivot point (1). The upper end of the device is equipped with an angle-measuring support (4) which measures the angle reached by the mobile arms upon moving. The hip flexion measuring device is fixed with two clamps (6 and 6') to the leg of the patient to be assessed and the angle-measuring support is aligned with the greater trochanter of the femur using a concave device. The mobile arms (2 and 3) accompany the leg during the hip flexion movement and one of said arms (3) remains fixed at the maximum position reached at the end of the movement. The angle-measuring support (4) displays the degrees obtained.

Description

MEDIDOR DE FLEXIÓN DE CADERAHIP FLEXING METER
DOMINIO DE LA TÉCNICA. Esta invención se refiere a un instrumento para la medición de la flexibilidad de la musculatura isquiotibial. Tiene su campo de aplicación en el equipamiento deportivo, valoración fisiológica, biomecánica y médica. En la actualidad, el test más comúnmente utilizado y más representativo para valorar la flexibilidad de la cadera en un movimiento de flexión es el "sit and reach" o test de "sentarse y alcanzar", así como una modificación de mismo denomina la batería de pruebas físicas Eurofít "flexión de tronco adelante desde la posición de sentado", que se realiza delante de un cajón de medidas estándar. Sin embargo este tipo de test de flexibilidad no es específico para la musculatura isquiotibial ya que el valor obtenido está directamente influido por otras estructuras anatómicas que se encuentran involucradas en el movimiento, como son los músculos extensores de la espalda o los extensores del tobillo, además de otros factores que también pueden perturbar el resultado, como son las medidas antropométicas de los segmentos implicados (longitud de miembros superiores e inferiores).DOMAIN OF THE TECHNIQUE. This invention relates to an instrument for measuring the flexibility of the hamstring musculature. It has its field of application in sports equipment, physiological, biomechanical and medical assessment. At present, the most commonly used and most representative test to assess the flexibility of the hip in a flexion movement is the "sit and reach" or "sit and reach" test, as well as a modification of it called the battery of Eurofit physical tests "trunk flexion forward from the sitting position", which is done in front of a standard size drawer. However, this type of flexibility test is not specific to the hamstring musculature since the value obtained is directly influenced by other anatomical structures that are involved in the movement, such as the extensor muscles of the back or the ankle extensors, in addition of other factors that may also disturb the result, such as the anthropomatic measures of the segments involved (length of upper and lower limbs).
ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA: ANTECEDENTES. Existen diferentes tests para la valoración de la flexibilidad de la musculatura isquiotibial. Los más empleados son aquellos en los que se mide la distancia alcanzada entre las puntas de los dedos de las manos y los pies al flexionar el tronco con las piernas totalmente estiradas, tanto en bipedestación como en sedestación. Se realizan con las rodillas extendidas, solicitando al sujeto que flexione el tronco de forma progresiva, sin tirones, hasta tocar o sobrepasar el muslo. Se mide en centímetros la distancia que le falta o excede, pudiéndonos ayudar de un dispositivo que parte de una regla. El inconveniente que presenta este tipo de test es que en él están implicados la flexibilidad de todas las estructuras musculares situadas dorsalmente, incluida la musculatura isquitibial. El interés de este test es el de obtener una medición grosera de la flexibilidad, en la que los isquiotibiales son requeridos en mayores longitudes de forma pasiva por una basculación anterior de la pelvis. Otro test es el de levantamiento pasivo de la pierna mediante flexión de cadera manteniendo la rodilla extendida. Este se realiza en decúbito supino, solicitando al sujeto que eleve lenta y progresivamente el miembro inferior de un lado, con el contralateral apoyado sobre el suelo. Se mide el recorrido articular, en grados, desde la posición de partida hasta que la tirantez e incluso el dolor de la porción posterior del muslo limite el movimiento.STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE: BACKGROUND. There are different tests to assess the flexibility of the hamstring muscles. The most used are those in which the distance reached between the tips of the fingers and toes is measured by flexing the trunk with the legs fully stretched, both in standing and sitting. They are performed with the knees extended, asking the subject to flex the trunk progressively, without pulling, until touching or exceeding the thigh. The distance that is missing or exceeded is measured in centimeters, being able to help us with a device that starts from a ruler. The drawback of this type of test is that it involves the flexibility of all dorsally located muscular structures, including the hamstring muscles. The interest of this test is to obtain a gross measurement of flexibility, in which the hamstrings are required in greater lengths passively by an anterior tilt of the pelvis. Another test is the passive lifting of the leg by hip flexion keeping the knee extended. This is done supine, asking the subject to slowly and progressively raise the lower limb on one side, with the contralateral resting on the ground. The articular path is measured, in degrees, from the starting position until the tightness and even the pain in the posterior part of the thigh limits movement.
EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN. El medidor de flexión de cadera es un aparato cuya finalidad es evaluar en grados la flexibilidad de los músculos isquiotibiales durante la flexión de cadera. Esta flexibilidad puede ser evaluada de forma activa y pasiva, en cualquiera de los dos miembros inferiores. Este aparato consta de dos brazos móviles que giran alrededor de un pivote que en su extremo superior lleva incorporado un porta-ángulos para valorar la angulación alcanzada por los brazos móviles al desplazarse.EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The hip flexion meter is a device whose purpose is to assess in degrees the flexibility of the hamstrings during hip flexion. This flexibility can be evaluated actively and passively, in any of the two lower limbs. This device consists of two mobile arms that rotate around a pivot that incorporates an angle holder at its upper end to assess the angle reached by the mobile arms when moving.
Uno de los brazos móviles se fija a la pierna que va a ser valorada, haciendo coincidir el porta-ángulos con el trocánter mayor del fémur.One of the movable arms is fixed to the leg to be assessed, matching the angle holder with the greater trochanter of the femur.
Cuando se solicita al sujeto que movilice la pierna en un desplazamiento hacia delante, los dos brazos móviles acompañan a la pierna en el movimiento de flexión de la cadera accionando el portador de ángulos. Finalizada la flexión, uno de los brazos permanece fijo en la máxima posición alcanzada, quedando el porta-ángulos en esa posición.When the subject is requested to move the leg in a forward movement, the two mobile arms accompany the leg in the hip flexion movement by operating the bearer of angles. Once the flexion is finished, one of the arms remains fixed in the maximum position reached, leaving the angle holder in that position.
