Ober's Test for TFL/ITB Inflammation With the patient in the lateral position, affected side up. The patient grasps the bottom knee, flexing the hip. The examiner supports the upper knee which is flexed to 90 degrees. Then examiner then extends and abducts the hip, then slowly lowers the leg towards the table (hip adduction) until motion is restricted. In a normal test, the knee will drop below horizontal without pain. In a positive test, adduction is restricted or pain in the lateral knee. 水田有樹 @PT_yuu_mizu628 #Obers #Test #Iliotibial #Band #Syndrome #ITBand #ITB #TFL #Hip #knee #clinical #video #physicalexam #sports #msk #orthopedics

FABER (Patrick's) Test for Hip and Sacroiliac Pathology Patrick's or Faber Test can be performed to evaluate for hip and sacroiliac pathology. One leg is flexed, abducted, and externally rotated in position, resting the foot on the other knee. If the leg does not lower into a position parallel to the exam table, there may be a hip flexor contracture or protective iliopsoas spasm. Pressure on the knee with counter-pressure on the opposite pelvic brim may elicit pain at the hip or sacroiliac joint. 水田有樹 @PT_yuu_mizu628 #FABER #Patricks #Test #Hip #sacroiliac #PhysicalExam #clinical #video #sports #msk #orthopedics
