The Hip Abduction Test measures how far the thigh moves away from the body’s midline. It is useful for assessing frontal-plane hip mobility, comparing sides, monitoring symptoms and adding context to lateral movement, cutting, stepping and change-of-direction tasks.

Introduction

Hip abduction is t...

The Hip Modified Thomas Test assesses hip extension position and anterior hip or thigh length response while the client lies at the edge of a table. It can provide useful information about hip flexor and rectus femoris length, but pelvic position must be controlled carefully. The result should be re...

The Hip Flexion Test measures how far the thigh moves toward the trunk. It is useful for assessing hip mobility, comparing sides, recording symptoms and monitoring change over time.

Introduction

Hip flexion range of motion is used across movement, rehabilitation, performance and fitness settings. ...

The Hip Extension Test measures how far the thigh moves behind the body. It is useful for assessing hip mobility, comparing sides, monitoring symptoms and tracking progress over time.

Introduction

Hip extension range of motion is relevant to walking, running, sprinting, lunging, bridging, climbing...

The Supine Hip Internal Rotation Test measures how far the hip rotates inward while the client lies on their back. It can be measured actively or passively with the hip and knee flexed to a standard position. The result helps compare sides and add context to hip mobility, squatting, gait, running, c...

The Hip Adduction Test measures how far the thigh moves toward or across the body’s midline. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer or consistent ROM workflow. The result helps compare sides and track change in hip movement, especially when interpreted alongside pa...

The Spine Flexion Test measures forward bending movement through the spine and trunk. It can be recorded using an inclinometer, tape measure, fingertip-to-floor distance or another standardised method. The result helps monitor movement, symptoms and progress over time, but it should be interpreted w...

The Supine Hip External Rotation Test measures how far the hip rotates outward while the client lies on their back. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer or inclinometer. The result helps compare sides, track progress and add context to squatting, sitting positions, cutting, ga...

The Knee Prone Heel-to-Butt Test assesses how close the heel can move toward the buttock in prone. It provides useful information about knee flexion range, anterior thigh mobility, symptom response and side-to-side differences.

Introduction

The prone heel-to-butt position is a practical way to ass...

The Ankle Inversion Test measures how far the sole of the foot turns inward. It can be measured actively or passively, but the result is influenced by subtalar, midfoot and forefoot movement. Recording the method, side, pain, symptoms and compensation helps make the result useful for movement compar...

The Ankle Dorsiflexion Test measures how far the ankle moves as the foot comes upward toward the shin. It can be measured actively, passively or in a weight-bearing position. The result helps compare ankle movement between sides, monitor change and add context to squatting, running, landing, balance...

The Ankle Plantarflexion Test measures how far the foot points downward at the ankle. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer or consistent Measurz ROM process. The result helps compare movement between sides, monitor change over time and add context to calf, ankle,...
