experienced in the lower back or pelvic region, and where the pain is absent when
compression is added to the pelvis.
- Hip adduction stability test
Initial posture therapist 1: The therapist stands at the foot of the examination couch for the
first part of the test. In doing so, her hands are placed on the inside of the lower leg of the
subject just above the ankle. The therapist resists the adduction.
The second test, the therapist is at the level of the pelvis. She will place her hands on the
lateral side of the pelvis on the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to create a from lateral to
medial targeted compression.
Initial posture therapist two: this will be at the foot of the examination couch while therapist 1
moves to the pelvis. The hands of therapist 2 is placed on the inside of the lower leg of the
subject, directly above the ankle to offer resistance the adduction.
Starting Position subject: supine on the examination couch, with the feet spread 20cm apart
resting on the bench.
Execution: the subject is asked to close her both legs simultaneously with the knees
straightened.
Deduction: This test is positive if in the first test (without compression on the pelvic) pain is
experienced in the lower back or pelvic region, which is absent when compression is added
to the pelvis.
- Hip internal rotation stability test
Initial posture therapist 1: The therapist stands at the foot of the examination couch for the
