Muscles Involved:[edit | edit source]
- Gluteus Maximus
- Piriformis
- Quadratus Femoris
- Obturator Externus
- Obturator Internus
- Gemellus Superior
- Gemellus Inferior
Patient Positioning[edit | edit source]
- Grades 3 to 5 - Patient is in short sitting on plinth with test-side knee flexed to 90°, Ideally the foot should be suspended off the floor i.e. sitting on edge of high plinth
- Grades 0-2 - Patient is in prone with knee flexed to 90° ('gravity minimal' position)
Therapist Position[edit | edit source]
- Therapist to kneel beside the patient and stabilise at the distal thigh laterally.
- Therapist to stand on test-side if in prone
To Test[edit | edit source]
- Patient actively externally rotates the hip
- For grades 4 to 5 apply resistance through the medial ankle through range in a direction opposite to external rotation[1]
- To satisfy grade 5 'normal muscle' performance criteria, the patient must have the ability to move through complete range of motion (active resistance testing) OR maintain an end point range (break testing) against maximum resistance.
