The Hip Flexion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when lifting the thigh upward against resistance. It is commonly used to assess hip flexor force output in a controlled isometric setup.
Hip flexion strength can provide useful context for walking, running, sprinting, stair ...
The Hip Extension Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when moving the thigh backward against resistance. It is commonly used to assess hip extensor force output in a controlled isometric setup.
Hip extension strength can provide useful context for walking, running, sprinting,...
The Supine Hip Internal Rotation Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when rotating the thigh inward against resistance while lying on their back. In the supine position, the hip may be tested in a more supported setup than standing or prone variations, which can be useful when...
The Knee Flexion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when bending the knee against resistance. It is commonly used to assess hamstring force output in a controlled isometric setup.
Knee flexion strength can provide useful context for walking, running, sprinting, deceleration,...
The Knee Extension Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when straightening the knee against resistance. It is commonly used to assess quadriceps force output in a controlled isometric setup.
Knee extension strength can provide useful context for walking, stair use, squatting, ...
Here is a general overview of the testing protocol for supine hip external rotation (ER) isometric strength:
- Have the client adopt a supine position on a massage table with their testing leg flexed at both the knee and hip to 90 degrees.
- It is recommended that the practitioner set themselves up ...
The Hamstring 90-90 Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when flexing the knee against resistance in a position where the hip and knee are commonly set around 90 degrees. It is commonly used to assess isometric hamstring force output in a controlled position.
This test can pro...
The Ankle 1st Toe Flexion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when pressing the big toe downward against resistance. It is commonly used to assess hallux flexion force output in a controlled isometric setup.
This test can provide useful context for foot strength, push-off cap...
The Ankle Inversion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when turning the sole of the foot inward against resistance. It is commonly used to assess inversion force output from muscles such as tibialis posterior, tibialis anterior and related medial ankle contributors in a contr...
The Ankle Dorsiflexion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when lifting the foot upward toward the shin against resistance. It is commonly used to assess dorsiflexor force output in a controlled isometric setup. This can provide useful context for foot clearance, walking, runn...
The Ankle Eversion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when turning the sole of the foot outward against resistance. It is commonly used to assess eversion force output from the lateral ankle muscles, including fibularis longus and fibularis brevis, in a controlled isometric s...
