Goni Stabilization (LE)

Question 1

Hip Flexion

Answer 1

Stabilize the ipsilateral pelvis with one hand to prevent posterior tilting or rotation; keep contralateral LE flat on the table in neutral position to provide additional stabilization

Question 2

Hip Extension

Answer 2

Stabilize the ipsilateral pelvis with one hand to prevent anterior tilt and to feel or the end ROM. Keep the contralateral extremity flat on table to provide additional pelvic stabilization

Question 3

Hip Abduction

Answer 3

Keep a hand on iliac crest of pelvis to prevent lateral tilting in superior direction (elevation) and rotation; watch for lateral flexion of trunk

Question 4

Hip Adduction

Answer 4

Stabilize ipsilateral pelvis to prevent lateral tilting in the caudal direction and rotation; watch for lateral flexion of trunk

Question 5

Hip Medial Rotation

Answer 5

Stabilize distal end of femur to prevent abduction, adduction, or further flexion of hip.

Question 6

Hip Lateral Rotation

Answer 6

Stabilize distal end of femur to prevent abduction or further flexion of hip

Question 7

Thomas Test

Answer 7

Examiner or individual holds hip not being test in flexion to maintain low back and pelvis flat against table

Question 8

SLR Test

Answer 8

Hold knee of LE being tested in full extension. Keep other LE flat on examining table to stabilize pelvis and prevent pelvis from tilting posteriorly and lumbar spine from flexing. Weight of LE provides adequate stabilization.

Question 9

Ober Test

Answer 9

Place one hand on iliac crest to stabilize pelvis. Firm pressure is required to prevent the pelvis from laterally tilting during the testing motion. Having the individual flex bottom hip and knee can also help stabilize trunk and pelvis

Question 10

Knee Flexion

Answer 10

The femur to prevent rotation, abduction, and adduction of hip

Question 11

Knee Extension

Answer 11

The femur to keep hip in neutral abduction, adduction, and rotation

Question 12

Ely Test

Answer 12

The hip to maintain the neutral position; do not allow the hip to flex

Question 13

Distal Hamstring Length Test

Answer 13

The femur to prevent rotation, abduction, and adduction at hip and to maintain the hip in 90* flexion

Question 14

Talocrural DF

Answer 14

The tibia and fibula to prevent knee motion and hip rotation (posterior)

Question 15

Talocrural PF

Answer 15

The tibia and fibula to prevent knee motion and hip rotation (posterior)

Question 16

Tarsal Inversion

Answer 16

Posterior tibia and fibula to prevent medial rotation and extension of knee and lateral rotation and abduction of hip

Question 17

Tarsal Eversion

Answer 17

Posterior tibia and fibula to prevent lateral rotation and flexion of knee and medial rotation and adduction of hip

Question 18

Subtalar Inversion

Answer 18

Anterior tibia and fibula to prevent lateral hip and knee rotation and hip adduction

Question 19

Subtalar Eversion

Answer 19

Anterior tibia and fibula to prevent medial hip and knee rotation and hip abduction

Question 20

Transverse Tarsal Inversion

Answer 20

The calcaneus to prevent inversion of the subtalar joint and dorsiflexion of ankle

Question 21

Transverse Tarsal Eversion

Answer 21

The calcaneus to prevent eversion of subtalar joint and plantarflexion of ankle
