LEG LENGTH DISCREPANCY
POSITIVE:
- Different Measurements
INDICATES:
- True = bony abnormality above or below level of trochanter difference (anatomical short leg).
- Apparent = pelvic Obliquity (Tilted pelvis)
ALLIS SIGN
POSITIVE:
- Difference in height and anteriority of the knees
INDICATES:
- If one knee is lower = ipsilateral congenital hip dislocation or tibial discrepancy (anatomical short leg)
- If one knee is anterior = ipsilateral congenital hip dislocation or femoral discrepancy (contralateral anatomical short leg)
THOMAS TEST
POSITIVE:
- Lumbar spine maintains lordosis (should flatten) and hip or leg flexes
INDICATES:
- Contracture of the hip flexors (iliopsoas)
ANVIL TEST
POSITIVE:
- Localized pain in long bone or in hip joint
INDICATES:
- Possible Fracture of long bones, or hip joint pathology
PATRICK TEST aka FABERE sign
POSITIVE:
- Pain in the hip region
INDICATES:
- Hip joint pathology
LAGUERRE TEST
POSITIVE:
- Pain in the hip joint
- Pain in the sacroiliac joint
INDICATES:
- Hip joint pathology
- Mechanical problem of the sacroiliac joint
GAENSLEN TEST
POSITIVE:
- Pain on the affected SI joint stressed into extension
INDICATES:
- General sacroiliac joint lesion, anterior sacroiliac ligament sprain, or inflammation of the SI joint
LEWIN - GAENSLEN TEST
POSITIVE:
- Pain on the affected SI joint stressed into extension
INDICATES:
- General sacroiliac joint lesion, anterior sacroiliac ligament sprain, or inflammation of the SI joint
HIBB TEST
POSITIVE:
- Pain in the hip region
- Pain in the buttock/pelvic region
INDICATES:
- Hip joint pathology
- Sacroiliac joint lesion
OBER TEST
POSITIVE:
Affected thgih remains in abduction (Normal biomechanics, the thigh/hip will adduct)
INDICATES:
Contraction of the iliotibial band or tensor fascia lata, (usually secondary to synovitis of the hip, secondary to trauma of the gluteus medius and maximus)
PELVIC ROCK TEST aka ILIAC COMPRESSION TEST
POSITIVE:
- Pain in either sacroiliac joint
INDICATES:
- Sacroiliac joint lesion
NACHLAS TEST
POSITIVE:
