Have you ever wondered if hip ABD could provide needed information on the client's condition in pelvic, hip or low back pain situations???

What could be learned???

There is no test using hip ABD for innominate bone position that I know of, so try this:

Step 1: Do gross postural assessment from all four sides as the client/patient does hip ABD

Step 2: Have the client/patient do hip ABD to 25 cm, 50 cm, 75 cm, 100 cm, etc., to the ability of the patient to comply. Landmark each side with the ASIS to ASIS, PSIS to PSIS, ASIS to PSIS (R&L).

Note how the innominate bones move into anterior or posterior rotation.

See if this gives you any new information on your client/patient.

Best regards,

Neuromuscular
