Eccentric Hip Adduction
Setup
1: Lie on non-testing side, pelvis centred on middle gridline on base mat. Abduct uppermost femur to place medial malleolus in cuff with hip abducted 45° (or as range allows)
2: With leg resting in cuff, re-zero sensor to account for the mass of the lower limb
3: Ensure the pelvis is square when the subject is propped on their elbow ready to pull down into cuff and perform a Copenhagen bridge.
4: Record height of top of carriers
Cues
1: Test unilaterally
2: Lift hips to hip adduction neutral position in frontal plane
3: Therapist provides manual downward pressure at the pelvis to complete a brake test
4: Feel work in the adductor group
5: Peak eccentric force should be reached within 10 seconds
