Goniometry LE Flashcards
hip flexion ROM
120°
hip flexion end feel
firm or soft
hip flexion/extension landmarks
fulcrum: greater trochanter
stationary arm: lateral midline pelvis
moving arm: midline of lateral femur to lateral epicondyle of knee
hip flexion patient position and stabilization
supine
stabilize ipsilateral pelvis
hip extension ROM
30°
hip extension patient position and stabilization
prone
stabilize: contralateral lower leg, ipsilateral pelvis
knee straight during extension
hip actions with end feel for firm
extension abduction adduction internal rotation external rotation
hip actions with ROM of 45°
hip abduction internal rotation (prone and seated) external rotation (prone and seated)
hip adduction ROM
20°
hip abduction/adduction landmarks
fulcrum: ipsilateral ASIS
stationary arm: between R and L ASIS
moving arm: midline anterior femur to center of patella
hip abduction pt position and stabilization
supine
stabilize: ipsilateral iliac crest
hip adduction pt position and stabilization
supine
stabilize: ipsilateral iliac crest
abduct non-test leg to make space for adducting test leg
hip internal AND external rotation landmarks
fulcrum ;center anterior patella
stationary arm: perpendicular to floor/table
moving arm: midline anterior tibia to center of talocrural joint
internal rotation (seated) pt position and stabilization
seated
stabilize: ipsilateral distal femur
pt moves test limb ankle laterally
internal rotation (prone) pt position and stabilization
prone
stabilize posterior iliac crest
palpate: first at greater trochanter, passively move leg into internal rotation, then palpate at pelvis to feel for rocking
