Answer 18

plantarflexion, inversion, adduction

Question 19

thomas test

Answer 19

passively flex contralateral hip w/ knee flexed and observe ipsilateral hip to see if it flexes off table
–> dysfunction of hip flexors (iliopsoas)

Question 20

hamstring hypertonicity MET

Answer 20

pt supine

physician stabilizes at contralateral ASIS and flexes ipsilateral leg

Question 21

MET gluteus hypertonicity

Answer 21

pt lateral recumbent
stabilize PSIS and grab pts leg and flex at hip and knee, place pts knee on thigh and flex at hip, pt pushes downward against thigh

Question 22

soft tissue prone abduction SD/iliotibial band restriction

Answer 22

pt prone
stand contralateral to IT band, grab contralateral ankle and push outwards, grab outer contralateral thigh and pull inward

Question 23

MET hypertonic short adductor of LE

Answer 23

pt supine with tested leg externally rotated and flexed at the thigh and knee
physician stabilizes opposite hip and abducts ipsilateral knee to RB
