Document Summary

Is femur abducted: normal = leg level with table, ideal = 2-3" below, knee @ 90 - shows quads are good, foot external rotation not normal shows tightness of it band which et tibia. If tightness, leg remains abducted and does not fall to table. Male medial malleolus should come to level of bed or 2-3" below. Female should come within 2-3" of bed height. Alternate test for hamstring tightness: sit on table with erect sitting position and slight lumbar lordosis, slowly straighten one leg. If good flexibility, leg should come within 10 of being fully straight with lordosis maintained. Hold legs and don"t let me pull them down light to heavy force: lie prone and bring heel to but - flex to 90 , then legs to 45 and repeat, then almost full extension and repeat. Testing strength: resisted movement against hand pushing up while sitting and while laying down, testing different muscles.
