FABER test 1 vs. 2 vs. 3?
Which compartments for each?
1) Apprehension: FABER 1: Pt’s hip is flexed, ABducted and ER. Doc induces further ER. (Central compartment)

Which axis runs perpendicular to the transverse plane?
Longitudinal axis (Superior-inferior axis)

Lateral flexion (aka sidebending) is movement in what plane and axis?
Movement in a coronal (frontal) plane about an anterior-posterior axis
Flexion and extension of the trunk are movements in what plane and axis?
Motion in a sagittal plane (AP) of the spine about a transverse axis
Rotation of the trunk (aka twisting) is movement in what plane and axis?
