Goniometry: Hip Internal rotation
SP: Seated; femur parallel Bring foot out F: Patella SA: Perpendicular to floor MA: Midline of tibia/Between malleoli
Goniometry: Hip External rotation
SP: Seated; femur parallel Bring foot in F: Patella SA: Perpendicular to floor MA: Midline of tibia/Between malleoli
Goniometry: Knee flexion
SP: Supine; flex hip so femur is vertical F: Lateral femoral condyle SA: Proximal midline of femur/Greater trochanter MA: Lateral midline of fibula/Lateral malleolus
