Hip Functional/Special Tests Flashcards
Long Axis Hip Manipulation (Hip)
-Open pack: 30 flx/ 30 abd/ ER
-pull on leg
targets entire capsule
Inferior Glide Mobilization
-Open pack
-for loss of flx
- Pt in supine, hip flx
- PT on table, leg over shoulder
Anterior Glide Mobilization
-Open pack
-loss of extension
- Pt prone, leg in ext and abd (other leg off table if needed)
- PT hand on isch tub and lift knee up
- Push on isch tub
- Progress with more hip ext and knee flx
Lateral Glide Mobilization
-Open Pack
-lack of ADD
- Pt in supine, knee flexed 30
- PT pulls down and out laterally (can use belt or hands)
- Can add more ADD during progression
Progression: AP Lat Mobilization
Self Treatment

(+) reproduction of pt ain at posterior pelvis or butt
Sign of Buttock Test
-provocation tests
-sign of serious pathology (hip absess, fracture, infection, cancer)
-nerve on slack and pain still there
- Passive SLR (+)
- Return to neurtral and bend hip and knee
