In a seated position during iliopsoas manual muscle testing, what two positions must the hip and knee be in?
The hip must be flexed fully, and the knee must be flexed.
What is the purpose of applying counterpressure to the patient's ipsilateral anterior shoulder during the iliopsoas MMT?
What is the purpose of applying counterpressure to the patient's ipsilateral anterior shoulder during the iliopsoas MMT?
Counterpressure is applied to stabilize the patient and enhance the accuracy of the resistance being measured.
How should the clinician position their hands during the hip extension resistance application in the iliopsoas MMT?
How should the clinician position their hands during the hip extension resistance application in the iliopsoas MMT?
One hand should be on the patient's ipsilateral anterior shoulder for counterpressure, while the other is placed proximal to the knee.
