THE RELIABILITY OF FABER TEST HIP RANGE OF MOTION MEASUREMENTS

摘要

BackgroundThe Flexion ABduction External Rotation (FABER) test is typically used as a provocation special test, but has also been used as a measurement of combined hip range of motion (ROM). It is thought that limited ROM with this measurement may be indicative of hip pathology. To date, normative data, reliability, and minimal detectable change (MDC) of such measurements have not been established.
