Q

Adductor Magnus: Resisting the muscle?

A

Place one hand on their inner thigh and ask them to move their thigh toward the midline against your resistance. Apply gentle pressure to resist the adduction movement.

  • Resisted hip extension: With the patient lying on their stomach, place one hand on their inner thigh and resist as they try to lift their leg backward.
