Goni Stabilization (LE) Flashcards
Hip Flexion
Stabilize the ipsilateral pelvis with one hand to prevent posterior tilting or rotation; keep contralateral LE flat on the table in neutral position to provide additional stabilization
Hip Extension
Stabilize the ipsilateral pelvis with one hand to prevent anterior tilt and to feel or the end ROM. Keep the contralateral extremity flat on table to provide additional pelvic stabilization
Hip Abduction
Keep a hand on iliac crest of pelvis to prevent lateral tilting in superior direction (elevation) and rotation; watch for lateral flexion of trunk
Hip Adduction
Stabilize ipsilateral pelvis to prevent lateral tilting in the caudal direction and rotation; watch for lateral flexion of trunk
Hip Medial Rotation
Stabilize distal end of femur to prevent abduction, adduction, or further flexion of hip.
Hip Lateral Rotation
Stabilize distal end of femur to prevent abduction or further flexion of hip
Thomas Test
Examiner or individual holds hip not being test in flexion to maintain low back and pelvis flat against table
SLR Test
Hold knee of LE being tested in full extension. Keep other LE flat on examining table to stabilize pelvis and prevent pelvis from tilting posteriorly and lumbar spine from flexing. Weight of LE provides adequate stabilization.
Ober Test
Place one hand on iliac crest to stabilize pelvis. Firm pressure is required to prevent the pelvis from laterally tilting during the testing motion. Having the individual flex bottom hip and knee can also help stabilize trunk and pelvis
Knee Flexion
The femur to prevent rotation, abduction, and adduction of hip
Knee Extension
The femur to keep hip in neutral abduction, adduction, and rotation
Ely Test
The hip to maintain the neutral position; do not allow the hip to flex
Distal Hamstring Length Test
The femur to prevent rotation, abduction, and adduction at hip and to maintain the hip in 90* flexion
Talocrural DF
The tibia and fibula to prevent knee motion and hip rotation (posterior)
Talocrural PF
The tibia and fibula to prevent knee motion and hip rotation (posterior)
