ROM of the hip and MMT

Question 1

Hip flexion

Answer 1

-120 degrees
goniometer:
-fulcrum- over the greater trochanter of the femur
-stationary arm- parallel to the lateral trunk
-movement arm- pointing towards the lateral epicondyle of the femur

Question 2

hip extension

Answer 2

-prone position
-30 degrees
-goniometer:
-fulcrom- over the greater trochanter of the femur
-stationary arm- parallel to the lateral trunk
-movement arm- pointing towards the lateral epicondyle of the femur

Question 3

hip abduction and adduction

Answer 3

-supine position
-45 degrees
goniometer:
-fulcrum: on the ASIS of leg you are testing
-stationary arm- pointing towards the opposite ASIS
-movement arm- pointing towards the center of the patella

Question 4

hip internal rotation and external rotation

Answer 4

-45 degrees
goniometer
-fulcrum- placed over the midpoint of the patella
-stationary arm- perpendicular to the flooor
-movement arm- on the tibia between the malleoli (anterior midline of the tibia )

Question 5

rectus femoris

Answer 5

-patient seated on the table-hip flexion and knee extension try to break them out of it

Question 6

iliopsoas

Answer 6

-hip flexors only
-seated at the end of the table, bring their leg up into hip flexion and they are resisting hip extension

Question 7

sartorius

Answer 7

-FABER- flexion abduction external rotation
-have patient seated, put them into FABER plus knee flexion, then try to bring them into a straight leg position

Question 8

gluteus maximus

Answer 8

-patient is prone, put the knee in slight flexion, have them raise off the table and try to push them done- this is testing hip extension

Question 9

gluteus minimus

Answer 9

-hip abductor
-have patient lying on side, bring their leg ip and they hold, the foot is in neutral position, try to break them out of it

Question 10

tensor fasciae latae

Answer 10

-supine
-internally rotate the whole leg, bring them into hip abduction and flexion, trying to break them out of it

Question 11

hip external rotators

Answer 11

-piriformis, quadratus femoris- obturator internus- obturator externus, gemellus superior, gemellus inferior
-hip external rotation and try to break them out of it
