Purpose
[edit | edit source]
This a general test to identify the presence of hip pathology.
Technique[1]
[edit | edit source]
The patient should be positioned in supine. The therapist should flex and adduct the hip until resistance is met. The knee should be allowed to be in a comfortably flexed position. The therapist then maintains flexion into resistance and moves teh hip into abduction, bringing the hip through a full arc of motion. If the patient reports no pain, the examiner then applies a compressive force through the long-axis of the femur to the hip. The test is considered positive if abnormal resistance is met or if the test reproduces the patient's complaint of pain.
