• Enhances joint nutrition

A positive Trendelenburg sign is noted during single leg stance when:

• The hip of the standing leg (ipsilateral) drops

• The hip of the raised leg (contralateral) drops

• The trunk leans over the standing leg

• Either B or C

A positive Trendelenburg sign is indicative of:

• Poor balance

• Raised hip abductor weakness

• Standing hip abductor weakness

• Laziness

With a patient in prone and greater trochanter at its most pronounced position, 10* of measured hip IR is indicative of:

• Femoral retroversion

• Normal tibial torsion

• Normal femoral anteversion

• Excessive femoral anteversion

When assessing hamstring length, a normal straight leg raise would be:

• Any amount of ROM without pain

• at least 45 degrees of hip flexion

• at least 70 degrees of hip flexion

• at least 90 degrees of hip flexion

A pincer deformity is characterized by:

• Excess bony overgrowth of the acetabulum

• Excess bony overgrowth of the femoral head/neck

• Any limitation in hip ROM

• Edward Scissorhands

Limited knee flexion ROM in both Ely’s and Thomas tests would indicate:

• Hamstring tightness

• Rectus femoris tightness

• Hamstring weakness

• Rectus femoris weakness

Reproduction of nerve-like symptoms during straight leg raise, with ankle in plantar flexion and inversion, would be more indicative of impaired dural mobility of which nerve?

• Sciatic

• Sural

• Tibial

• Peroneal

Joint play can still be productive if the patient is guarding.

• True

• False
