30 abduction 30 flexion and slight external rotation

Question 10

closed packed position of hip

Answer 10

full extension abduction and internal rotation

Question 11

normal end feels for pelvis/hip

Answer 11

Flexion and adduction: elastic or tissue approximation
straight leg raise: elastic
extension and abduction: elastic/ firm
internal and external rotation: elastic/ firm
