Description
<p>We present the case of a man in his 40s who sustained a left femoral intertrochanteric fracture following surgery. The patient’s occupation was to inspect items while moving his body to the left side in a crouching position. He exhibited decreased safety and stability posteriorly when shifting to the left during this action. Abnormalities during movement included a constant posterior pelvic tilt and difficulties with left rotation. Physical therapy evaluation revealed weakness of the left hip flexor. The patient’s lateral motions in a crouching posture improved, despite continued instability in his left posterior and backward movements. Physical therapy evaluation revealed improved strength in the left hip flexor. The hip flexors are involved in both pelvic and femoral motion. The patient was, therefore, able to maintain anterior pelvic tilt during the required movement as a result of the improved strength of his left hip flexor muscles. Able to move laterally from a stable crouching posture, he managed to resume work.</p>
