Decreased muscle strength seems to be a consistent finding in athletes with hip and groin pathology. , Manual muscle testing (MMT) is often used. The advantage of . Patient actively internally rotates the hip For grades 4 to 5 apply resistance through the lateral ankle through range in a direction opposite to internal rotation [1] To satisfy grade 5 'normal muscle' performance criteria, the patient must have the ability to move through complete range of motion (active resistance testing) OR maintain an end point range (break testing) against . •Passive assessment of internal and external rotation at the hip •Positive test is pain or decreased range of motion •Helpful for diagnosis of: •Osteoarthritis •Osteonecrosis •Femoroacetabular impingement •Stress fracture Image from: Wilson JJ, Furukawa M.

The patient is side lying with test leg uppermost, and hip flexed to 45 degrees. The therapist stands behind the patient and stabilizes with one hand at the hip. This hand is proximal to the greater trochanter. The other hand applies resistance across the lateral surface of the knee. Patient abducts hip against downward resistance.
