Search Strategy[edit | edit source]
Checking for useful (medical) articles on web of knowledge, PEDro and PubMed turned out to be very helpful. The best outcome was from web of knowledge and PubMed. I also used the university’s link to check if the found articles were available for me. Using the keywords FABER test and in combination with some additional words to specify like hip, Patrick’s test, pathology, clinical test, reliability and/or sensitivity I got some great articles that you can find under references. (eg. Faber test hip, faber hip, clinical test hip,…)
Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
The (Patrick’s) FABER Test stands for Flexion, Abduction and External Rotation. These three motions combined result in a clinical pain provocation test to find pathologies at the hip, lumbar and sacroiliac region. [1]

Purpose
[edit | edit source]
This test is used to identify the presence of hip pathology. The FABER test is also a screening tool for hip, lumbar, or SI joint dysfunction, or an iliopsoas spasm[2].
Technique[3]
[edit | edit source]
The patient is positioned in supine. The leg is placed in a figure-4 position (hip flexed and abducted with opposite foot resting on the contralateral thigh just above the knee). While stabilizing the opposite side of the pelvis, an external rotation and posteriorly directed force is then applied to the ipsilateral knee. A positive test is one that reproduces the patient's pain or limits their ROM.
Evidence[edit | edit source]
- Sensitivity for identification of hip pathology identified with arthroscopy: 0.89[4]
- Correlation of positive test with OA on radiographs: r = 0.54[5]
