Hip Flexion
ROM = 0-120
End feel = soft, sometimes firm
Fulcrum = greater trochanter
Stationary arm = lateral midline of pelvis
Movement arm = lateral midline of femur/lateral epicondyle
Testing position = supine
Hip Extension
ROM = 0-30
End feel = firm
Fulcrum = greater trochanter
Stationary arm = lateral midline of pelvis
Movement arm = lateral midline of femur/lateral epicondyle
Testing position = prone
Hip Abduction
ROM = 0-45
End feel = firm
