Lecture 10

Question 1

Hip Flexion strength test

Answer 1

psoas major and iliacus

hands on table, seated. Hip flexed to mid range. Heel & calf should not be touching table. Watch for substitutions from sartorius and/or TFL

Question 2

Hip External Rotation strength test

Answer 2

oburator internus/externus, sup/inf gemellus, piriformis, quadratus femoris

pt in short sitting w/hands stabilizing. PT stabilizies lateral knee & resistance at medial ankle.

Make sure they don’t do knee flexion or abduct/adduct hip

Question 3

Hip Internal Rotation strength test

Answer 3

Gluteus minimus/medius, TFL

pt short sitting w/hands stabilizing
PT hand stabilizes at medial knee and applies force at lateral ankle

make sure no extension occurs

Question 4

Hip extension strength test

Answer 4

Glut max, hamstrings

make sure pt has adequate hip extension ROM before MMT
can do it with knee bent or straight. Straight will test more of glut max than hamstrings

Question 5

Hip extension strength test if decreased ROM

Answer 5

ASIS at edge of table and hands stabilizing

Question 6

Hip abduction strength test

Answer 6

Glut med/min

place hand on distal ankle or on thigh above knee. can do a gravity minimized version, can only be rated a 0,1,2

Question 7

hip adduction strength test

Answer 7

adductor trio, pectineus, gracilis
pt is pushing leg up, PT pushing leg down. PT is holding top leg away from bottom leg. Can do gravity minimized position

Question 8

Single Leg Bridge Test

Answer 8

Heel on 16” box, knee maintains 30° of flexion
opposite knee must achieve same height for all reps
looking for >20 reps and symmetry

used as a screen for return to play
not a valid test for MAX hamstring strength

Question 9

Copenhagen Squeeze Test

Answer 9

Supine with hips flexed to 45, 0, and 90.

has been found to identify risk of groin injuries in soccer players, pt will rate pain on a scale from 0-10.

0-2 = no risk
3-5 = mild risk
6-10 = high risk
