Q
  • How do you perform the FABER TYPE 1 Test?
  • What does it test for?
A
  • Patient has the hip flexed, externally rotated and aBducted.
  • Doc applies downward force and asks if patient has any pain
  • Testing for labral pathology
17
Q
  • How do you perform the rectus femoris test?
  • What does it test for?
A
  • Patient is supine
  • One hip is flexed and the other leg is bent over the edge of the table.
  • (+) test if the leg not being flexed is off of the table (indicates contraction of the rectus femoris)
18

A
  • Passively flex patient’s ipsilateral hip with knee extended
  • (+) test with with pain over the lateral leg, especially > 15 degrees
  • Indicates IT band Contracture
  • Positive signs between 30-60: Lumbar radiculopathy
  • Positive signs >70 degrees: mechanical low back pain d/t muscle strain or joint disease
20
Q

22
Q
  • How do you perform part 3 of Faber’s test?
  • What does a (+) test indicate?
A
  • Patient’s hip is flexed, externally rotated and ABducted
  • Doc presses down and patient is instructed to ADduct against resistance

23
Q
  • How do you perform the Thomas test?
  • What is a positive test indicative of?
A
  • Patient lies on tables with both knees and hips pulled to chest
  • One leg is lowered to table to test flexibility
  • + test is indicated when patient cannot fully extend their leg or extended leg raises off of the table: this is indicative of hip flexor contraction
