Document Summary

You test them 2 ways: (1) knee almost fully extended and (2) knee flexed to 90 . What muscles are active to produce this motion: for instance, as an athlete plants their right leg and cuts towards their left, they externally rotate at the right hip. Why: sitting hip is flexed to 90 , a patient is walking and a holding cane in their right hand. You should also include the degrees of motion for each plane. Connective tissues and selected muscles that become taut at the end ranges of passive hip motion. Iliofemoral ligament; anterior capsule; some fibers of pubofemoral and ischiofemoral lig; iliopsoas. Iliotibial band; abductor muscles (tfl and glute med) Ischiofemoral ligament; external rotator muscles (piriformis and glute max) Why or why not: no, what is the biomechanical consequence of standing with a hip flexor contracture, hip flexor contracture hip remains partially flexed when a person attempts to stand upright.
