detailed answers ||
Hip Flexion ROM Testing - ✔✔Normal ROM: 120-130 degrees
|| || || || || || || ||
Position: Supine with hips extended || || || ||
Goniometer: Axis on GT, stationary arm on longitudinal axis of trunk, mobile
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
arm on lateral longitudinal axis of femur
|| || || || || ||
Motion: Bend hip and knee up towards the chest and leave contralateral leg flat
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
on table ||
Thomas Test - ✔✔Test for hip flexion contracture
|| || || || || || ||
Position: Supine ||
Goniometer: Axis on GT, stationary arm on longitudinal axis of trunk, mobile
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
arm on lateral longitudinal axis of femur
|| || || || || ||
Procedure: ||

|| || || || || ||
Procedure: Raise the leg upwards, making sure to keep knee extended and
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
contralateral leg straight on table || || || ||
Hip Abduction/Adduction ROM Testing - ✔✔Normal ROM: 45 degrees

|| || || || ||
Procedure: ABD - will all joints extended, move leg away from midline; ADD -
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
move towards and past midline
|| || || ||
Internal/External Hip Rotation ROM Testing - ✔✔Normal ROM: 45 degrees || || || || || || || || ||
Position: Sitting ||
Goniometer: Axis on middle patella, stationary arm perpendicular to floor,
|| || || || || || || || || ||
mobilizing arm anterior longitudinal axis of tibia (midline)
|| || || || || || ||
Procedure: Keep pelvis level; INT: move leg out and away from midline; EXT:
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
move leg out and towards the midline
|| || || || || ||
, 2

|| || || || || ||
Position: Prone with hip extended and knee flexed 90 degrees
|| || || || || || || || ||
Goniometer: Axis on middle patella, stationary arm perpendicular to floor,
|| || || || || || || || || ||
mobile arm anterior longitudinal axis of tibia
|| || || || || ||
Procedure: Rotate the limb to the point of max trochanteric prominence
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Knee Flexion ROM Testing - ✔✔Normal ROM: 135 degrees
|| || || || || || || ||
Position: Prone ||
Goniometer: Axis through lateral epicondyle, stationary arm lateral
|| || || || || || || ||
longitudinal axis of femur, mobile arm longitudinal axis of fibula
|| || || || || || || || ||
Procedure: Bend knee up towards buttocks as far as possible
|| || || || || || || || ||
Knee Extension ROM Testing - ✔✔Normal ROM: 0 degrees
|| || || || || || || ||
Position: Prone or supine || || ||
Goniometer: Axis at lateral epicondyle, stationary arm along lateral
|| || || || || || || || ||
longitudinal axis of femur, mobile arm along longitudinal axis of fibula
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Procedure: Extend knee || ||
Ankle Dorsiflexion ROM Testing - ✔✔Normal ROM: 20 degrees
|| || || || || || || ||
Position: Supine; knee bent and knee straight (test for gastric tightness)
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Goniometer: Axis just distal and posterior to lateral malleolus, stationary arm
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
along lateral longitudinal axis of fibula, mobile arm along lateral longitudinal
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
axis of 5th metatarsal
|| || ||
Procedure: Align subtalar joint in neutral to slight inversion while bending foot
