FABERS
- flexion, abduction, external rotation
- positive test indicates capsular restriction
- pain is a positive test
FABERS pt position
supine, legs in figure 4 position (test leg bent)
FABERS PT handling
one hand is stabilizing thee opposite contralateral side of the pelvis while the other is applying light pressure to ipsilateral knee until end range is met
FADIRS
- flexion, adduction, internal rotation
- positive test indicates acetabular impingement
FADIRS pt position
supine
FADIRS PT handling
one hand holds bottom of foot and other hand is on distal end of femur
- push leg toward contralateral shoulder
OBERS test pt position
pt in side-lying with bottom knee flexed
OBERS test PT handling
- behind pt
- one hand stabilizes the pelvis
- other hand grasps the distal end of the pt’s leg and lifts above horizontal
- slowly lower the leg toward the table until motion is restricted
OBERS test results
- positive test: top leg is not able to drop passed horizontal indicating tight ITB
- negative test: top leg is able to drop passed the horizontal indicating no ITB tightness
hamstring test pt position
- 90/90: supine with knee and hip flexed to 90 degrees
- straight leg: supine with leg straight and other leg bent
hamstring test 90/90 PT handling
- PT holds posterior distal leg with one hand; other hand stabilizes thigh at distal femur
- PT slowly straightens leg
- positive test = unable to reach full knee extension
hamstring test straight leg PT handling
- PT holds posterior distal leg with one hand and stabilizes distal femur with other
- PT lifts straight up until 90 degrees hip flexion
- positive test = unable to reach full hip extension; or knee is not fully extended at 90 degrees hip flexion
Ely’s test
- checks for quad tightness
- flex knee without pelvis rotation (tailbone popping up)
- position: prone
- positive test: unable to reach 90 degrees knee flexion
Thomas Test
- checks for ITB, rectus femoris, and iliopsoas tightness
- pt rolls back on edge of table, holding both legs to chest, drops one leg
- negative test: thigh is parallel or passed the level of table (no iliopsoas tightness), lower leg is perpendicular to the floor (no rectus femoris tightness), knee is in line with ASIS (no ITB tightness)
Positive thomas test
1+ of the following:
- thigh is above the horizontal (iliopsoas tightness)
- lower leg is kicked out/not perpendicular to the floor (rectus femoris tightness)
- knee is lateral to the ASIS (ITB tightness; +Jsign)
knee flexion normal range
