The first part of the physical examination is to observe the person’s gait for abnormalities like asymmetry of the waist and hips, a favored side while walking.

[edit | edit source]
Hip bursitis is a painful inflammation of a bursa, caused by an acute trauma, overuse or osteoarthritis.There are 3 different types of hip bursitis: Trochanteric bursitis, iliopsoas bursitis and ischial bursitis. Trochanteric bursitis is more common. The term greater trochanteric pain syndrome is now often substituted for trochanteric bursitis.[2] The condition is more prevalent in women than men. [3]
- In this article, the condition trochanteric bursitis will be treated.

Physical Examination[edit | edit source]
The first part of the physical examination is to observe the person’s gait for abnormalities like asymmetry of the waist and hips, a favored side while walking. Further, an examination of the hip is important to establish any limitations or deficits that the patient may have. It is possible that there is an underlying disorder or anatomical impairment present that may cause a bursitis or tendonitis. A weakness of the Mm. Gluteï, a unilateral tilt of the pelvis because of a leg length difference and lumbar spine disorders like scoliosis could be responsible for a bursitis or tendonitis. [1]
An examination of the lumbar spine and knee is also required when the patient complains about pain in this area’s. This pain can refer to the patient’s hip pain. In general, it is important to observe, to palpate, to check the range of motion and to test the strength of the muscles and other anatomic structures that are involved in this issue.
