Functional evaluation special tests for the hip and pelvis
-ROM and strength
-hip adduction, abduction, flexion, extension, internal and external rotation
10
Selective tissue testing

How hip sprains happen
Unusual movement exceeding normal ROM may result in damage
15
Symptoms or sprains

16
Management of hip sprain
-x-ray or MRI to rule out fx
-RICE, NSAIDs
-ROM and PRE once pain free
17
What causes a hip Labral tear?
Repetitive movements such as running or pivoting, resulting in degeneration or breakdown of labrum
