Abduction & Adduction – LE Test 5
The key terms of LE Test 5 include, Abduction, Adduction, hip flexion ROM, Supine, hip abduction/adduction ROM, SLR test, glute max, inert joint, Ely test, distal hamstrings, KB Thomas test, LE Test 5, rectus femoris, modified Ober test, tarsal inversion/eversion ROM.
In what position is the pt for hip flexion ROM?
Supine
In what position is the pt for hip abduction/adduction ROM?
Supine
If the SLR test is positive and you retest with knee in flexion and hip flexion still does not increase, it can be concluded that ___
The glute max or inert joint structures are causing the restriction (one-joint)
If the SLR test is positive and you retest with knee in flexion and the hip flexion increases, it can be concluded that ___
The hamstrings are causing the restriction (two-joint)
If the knee can be flexed to 90 or more degrees during an Ely test, it is ___
Negative and the RF is normal length
What does the DHL / PKE / PA evaluate?
Length of distal hamstrings
If the thigh does not reach the table in a KB Thomas test, it is ___
Positive
If you find a positive thomas test and then test with the knee extended and the thigh reaches the table (negative test), it can be concluded that ___
The rectus femoris is short
What is the difference in ober and modified Ober?
Modified ober holds the knee in extension (rather than flexion) to reduce strain on the medial knee and reduce influence from a tight rectus femoris
In what position is the pt for a modified Ober test?
Sidelying with testing hip uppermost; lowermost LE in full hip/knee flexion; uppermost knee remains in extension throughout ROM
What is the alternate testing position for tarsal inversion/eversion ROM?
Supine with foot off edge of table
In what position is the pt for subtalar inversion/aversion?
Prone with foot off edge of table, hip and knee in 0 degrees extension
In what position is the pt for hip flexion ROM?
Supine
In what position is the pt for hip abduction/adduction ROM?
Supine
