Study Notes
- Here are study notes from the provided text
Craig's Test
- Determines femoral anteversion by assessing the angle of the lower leg relative to vertical when the greater trochanter is parallel to the examining table.
- A positive finding is more than 15° angle, which may indicate excessive femoral anteversion but about 25° angle indicates it confidently.
- This test is also called Ryder's sign or Ryder's method.
- Common clinical finding is excessive medial rotation and decreased lateral rotation in the hip.
Hip Scour Test
- Evaluates hip joint pathology like changes in articular surfaces, undiagnosed OA, labral pathology, or soft tissue impingement.
- Recreation of pain deep in the groin area indicates a positive test.
- Other positive findings include bumpiness or crepitus during movement, early leathery end feel, or a block to movement.
- This test is also the flexion-adduction test, the quadrant test, or scouring test.
FADIR Test
- Assesses hip impingement, specifically femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), soft tissue impingement, and labral pathology.
- FADIR stands for Flexion, Adduction, and Internal Rotation.
- The test involves flexing the patient's hip and knee to 90 degrees each then applying passive internal rotation and adduction.
- If flexing the hip to 90° in neutral is difficult, that suggests likelihood of soft tissue or labral impingement.
Modified Thomas Test
- Determines the muscle length of hip flexors like iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and TFL.
- If the test leg thigh remains above parallel to the table, the iliopsoas is short.
- If the test leg tibia remains straighter than 80° to the femur, the rectus femoris is short.
- If the test leg drifts laterally into ABD, the TFL is short.
Ely's Test
- Evaluates the length of the rectus femoris muscle.
- The hip on the same side spontaneously flexes, and the ASIS comes off table when flexing.
90-90 Straight Leg Raising Test
- Assesses hamstring muscle length.
- Involves flexing both hips to 90 degrees while the knees are bent, then actively extending each knee in turn as much as possible.
- The knee should be extended > 20° short of full and angle is below 70 degrees.
Ober's Test
- Assesses TFL & ITB contracture.
- The test leg remains above neutral (ABD position) and cannot fall into an ADD position.
- To perform, take the test leg (upper leg) and passively abduct and extend with the knee straight while the hip remains in slight extension, then gently remove support from the leg allowing it to fall into an adducted position toward the table.
- If you flex the knee, you remove tension from IT band to test more TFL.
- Other findings include trochanteric pain (bursitis) or femoral nerve paresthesia (especially if the knee is also flexed).
- Knee Flexed tests more TFL
- Knee Extended tests more ITB
Faber Test
- Assesses hip joint pathology, FAI, psoas pathology or impingement, anterior capsular involvement, or SI joint involvement.
- Stands for FLX, ABD, ER.
- Recreation of Pain occurs
- Test leg's knee remains above the opposite leg indicates a positive test.
- To perform, place foot of test leg on top of opposite knee and slowly lower knee of test leg.
