Article Synopsis
- This study focused on assessing the reliability and measurement precision of tests used for evaluating hip pain, specifically looking at various testing conditions like classic, controlled pressure, subject-specific position, and a mixed approach.
- Nineteen participants without lower limb or back pain underwent evaluations by three raters across two sessions, testing different hip movements including FADIR, FABER, and hip internal rotation.
- Results indicated that the controlled pressure duration condition had the highest reliability for hip internal rotation and FADIR tests, while the subject-specific position yielded the best reliability for FABER tests.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify and report the intrarater and interrater reliability of hip internal rotation (IR) range of motion supine with the hip and knee at 90° of flexion and for the flexion-adduction-internal rotation (FADIR) test. Hip internal rotation measured in a lying supine position with the hip and knee at 90° of flexion revealed information on hip impairments. To date no simple quantification approach has been presented in this position; therefore, the FADIR test has not been quantified yet.
