Special tests for hip and pelvis
Test | What does it test for | Patient Position | clinician Position | Procedure | Positive Test |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hip scouring test | labrum | supine | along side the patient, fully flexing patients hip and knee | clinician applies pressure along the shaft of the femur compressing joint surfaces and internally and externally rotates hip | pain is felt, or symptoms in the hip are reproduced, meaning possible problems wiht articular cartilage of the femur or acetabulum |
Kendals Test | Tightness of rectus femoris, ITB, illiopsoas | Supine, wih knees over edge of the table, bent | next to patient, one hand under lordotic curve | leg i actively pulled to patients chest | see thomas |
Gaenslen's Test | Hip or SI joint disfunction | supine, laying close to the side of the table | Standing at side of the patient, one hand stabilizing at the ASIS, one hand near knee of side closest to them | slidepatient close to the edge of table, patient pulls far knee to their chest, near leg is allowed to hang over the edge of the table, clinician applies pressure to hanging lef making it hyperextend | Pain in the SI region |
Hamstring contracture test | tight hamstring | seated, one knee flexed to chest one leg extended | standing next to patient | have patient touch their toes with both hands on the side of the flexed lef that the extended leg is on | cannot reach thier toes |
90/90 SLT TEst | Hamstring tightness | supine one leg with 90 degrees of knee flexion | standing next to patient | have patient extend the bent leg | patient is unable to get withing 20 degrees of full extension |
Piriformis Test | piriformis tightness | side-lying on edge of table, on side not be tested with him not be tested in 60 degrees of flexion | one hand stabilizing hip and the other hand on the knee | clinician applies an addcution force on the patients knee | pain in putt, and or shooting pain down the leg which means sciatic nerve impingement |
Long Sit Test | anteior/posterior rotation of innominate bones | supine with heals off the table | holding feet with the thumbs over the medial malleoli, must pay close attention to position of malleoli through-out the entire test | clinician provides traction on legs while patient lifts butt off the table, clinician releases traction and then patiient goes from supine to long sit | *if the injured sides medial malleous goes from longer to a shorter position, then there is an anterior rotation there is an anterior rotation of the pelvis injured side mallelous goes fro shorter to longer position, a posterior rotation of illium |
Trendelenburg | Gleteus Medius weakness | Standing-weight evenly distributed between both legs, pants should be low enough to reveal PSIS | Standing, sitting or kneeling behind patient | Patient lifts leg opposite of the one being tested | Pelvis lowers on the non-weight bearing side, implications for weight bearing side |
Obers | ITB tightness-possible IT friction syndrome | side lying on side opposite of one being tested-knee on side being tested is flexed | Standing behind pt-one hand stabalizing the hip on the ASIS, one hand on the medial aspect of the proximal tibia | Clinician abducts and extends hip making sure TFL clears the greater trochanter, hip is then allowed to passively adduct | lef does not adduct past parallel |
Thomas Test | tightness of rectus femoris, ITB, and illiopsoas | supine, with knees over edge of table | next to patient, puts one hand under lumbar lordotic curve | one leg is pulled ot the patients chest | ~left left on table goes into extension-tightness of rectus ~leg left on table rises off table-tightness of illiopsoas ~leg on table externally rotates or abducts-IT band tightness |
Patrick(FABERS) test | Hip or SI pathology | supin, hip flexed, exernally roated, abducted and knee flexed-figure 4 | on side being tested, one hand stabalizing ASIS, other on the medial aspect of flexed knee | pull into full exernal rotation by putting pressure on the medial aspect of the knee, while still stabilizing the ASIS | pain in the sacroilliac joint |
Femoral stress fx test | stress fracture of the femur | seated with knees flexed to 90 degrees at the edge of table | arm under femur to creat a fulcrum | apply downward pressure on distal femur with opposite hand | pain along the shaft of the femur |
