Gluteus Maximus
Semitendinous
Semimembranous
Biceps Femoris
Patient Positioning[edit | edit source]
- Grades 3 to 5 - Patient in in prone - to test gluteus maximus and hamstrings - side-side knee in extension
- to test gluteus maximus only - test-side knee flexed to 90 degrees,
- Grades 0-2 - Patient is in side lying with the knee flexed to 90 degrees and supported by the therapist
Joint start Position[edit | edit source]
The hip should be in a neutral position between the available range of abduction and adduction. This can sometimes be challenging to achieve.
Therapist Position[edit | edit source]
- Therapist to stand on test side & stabilize the pelvis over the sacrum
To Test[edit | edit source]
- Patient actively extends the hip
- For grades 4 to 5 apply resistance through distal thigh in the direction opposite to hip extension.
