A
  • impaired LE control
34
Q

What are functional tests for femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?

A
  • impaired balance and LE control
  • Quad dominant squatting pattern
35
Q

What will/can we find with A/PROM with femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?

A
  • primarily pain and loss of motion with flexion to ~90˚, IR <20˚@ 90 degrees of hip flexion and/or hip adduction
36
Q

What can be limited between sides with femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?

A

Q

What can be present where hip deviates into abduction while moving into flexion at ~100˚ of flexion?

A

Hip maltracking

38
Q

What is the LARGEST predictor of groin pain?

A

A

NO

40
Q

What will we find in our resisted/MMT with femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
