Q

Straight Leg Raise Test

What compartment is this testing?

How do you peform this test?

What does a positive test indicate?

A

Lateral Compartment

  1. Patient supine.
  2. Passively flex patient’s ipsilateral hip with knee extended.

Positive Test (pain over lateral leg at >15o) indicates IT Band contracture

  • Positive signs usually occur between 30-60˚ if cause is lumbosacral radiculopathy and/or sciatic neuropathy.
  • Positive signs at >70˚ is more likely mechanical low back pain due to muscle strain or joint disease.

What does a positive test indicate?

A

Lateral Compartment

  1. Patient supine with hip and knee flexed, one ankle crossed over contralateral knee.
  2. Patient abducts against resistance.

Positive Test (pain over posterior aspect of greater trochanter) indicates Piriformis Spasm or Pathology

What does a positive test indicate?

A

Lateral Compartment

  1. Patient’s hip is flexed, abducted and externally rotated.
  2. Physician braces contralateral ASIS.
  3. Patient externally rotates/abducts against resistance.

Positive Test (pain) indicates Gluteus Medius Pathology

19
Q

Patrick’s Faber (Anterior Compartment)
