Simple Trick To Check REAL Hip Flexion Mobility In Seconds!
Stop guessing on hip flexion assessments! Discover a simple manual technique to instantly determine your patient's true hip range of motion, differentiating it from compensatory movement.
This video, featuring Rob Shapiro, DPT, COMT, NKT, demonstrates a crucial physical assessment skill often overlooked. Learn why visual assessment of hip flexion can be misleading and how to use a specific palpation technique (the "thumb spit out test") near the ASIS to pinpoint the exact end-range of femoral movement in the acetabulum. Understanding this true hip flexion limit is vital for identifying potential hip joint restrictions, including capsular patterns (often involving limitations in flexion, internal rotation, and abduction). Accurately measuring hip flexion provides a reliable baseline for tracking patient progress throughout treatment. This technique is invaluable for physical therapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers, and students performing musculoskeletal assessments.
Watch now to refine your hip assessment skills! If you found this technique helpful, please give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to Professional Seminars for more practical clinical tips. Leave a comment below – how do you typically assess true hip flexion?
