Orthopedic Examination and Joint Mobilization of the Hip

Course overview

Evaluating the hip can be a challenge. Many tests are available to assess the various structures of the hip; however, clinicians need to know which tests are appropriate for use with each client and how the tests are used for assessment. Once the diagnosis is determined, it is important to restore proper arthrokinematics by using the most suitable joint mobilization technique. How to screen for osseous pathology and the mechanism of hip impingement are two of the methods discussed in this continuing education program.
