Question 7

hip IR

Answer 7

glut min, TFL, glut med

resistance applied medially directed at the ankle as other hand gives counterpressure at knee

Question 8

hip ER

Answer 8

short sitting

resistance laterally at ankle, other hand on the lateral thigh counterpressure

Question 9

sartorious (flex, abd, ER)

Answer 9

short sitting, ankle resting on opp knee
one hand on lat knee and the other of dist ant/med leg just above ankle
at knee, resist hip flex and abd
at ankle, resist hip ER and knee flex

Question 10
