Technique[1][edit | edit source]

FADER:

  1. Patient lies in supine.
  2. Bring the hip into passive flexion to 90°.
  3. Then passively adduct and externally rotated the hip to end range position.

Interpretation: Pain reproduction indicates a positive test result. Otherwise, the test can be continued on by adding resisted isometric internal rotation. This is called the FADER-R test.

FADER-R:

  1. Patient lies supine in the FABER's position.
  2. Patient isometrically resist against internal rotation.

Interpretation:Pain reproduction indicates a positive test result.
