Fantastic video. Looks like quite a time saver too when compared to doing separate Obers and adductors test. Great tip about the TFL too. I need to get onto your BodyMaster courses. Just unable to get the weekdays off at the moment.

I'm trying to comprehend what muscles are working? not working? if patient is drawing knee to chest, instead of patients knee going to chest as seen in this video -- if the patient's right knee goes out towards the right shoulder? I have all your books available for purchase thank you for making life easier for a licensed nurse to ask better physical therapy questions. What muscles are not working where patient isn't flexing a right knee to chest but goes towards right shoulder? Do you describe this in one of your books? I searched for it in your "Functional Anatomy of the Pelvis and the Sacroiliac Joint"
The test is called the Modified Thomas test and mainly looks at the 'apparent length' of the muscles of the Psoas, Rectus femoris - even the TFL and adductors can be tested from the position, regards and this test is in the pelvis book - JG
Question sir. When I do a psoas stretch relieves my lower back pain. But when I do the lay down test. My legs always the way down. Is it weak or tight?
I have what I believe to be strained adductors on both sides (but mostly on the right), and a problem in the right hip flexor region, that have stopped me from running of late. I tried this test whilst waiting to see a physio. My right leg behaves as it should (whether I'm pulling it to my chest to test the left psoas muscle, or dropping it off the side of the bed to test the right psoas muscle.) However, my left leg internally rotates at the femur when I pull it towards my chest on testing the right psoas, and externally rotates by some way when I drop it off the edge of the bed on testing the left psoas. I assumed that my problems in this area are mostly right-sided, but perhaps I am wrong?
I would get the physio to assess the hip joint as it might not be an issue directly with the muscles that relate to the hip joint - like the psoas and adductors, regards JG
John, would you have any suggestions for a right side anterior pelvic tilt due to child bearing? Not to mention this causing havoc in my body on the right side. Thank you so much!
Is there a reason you would do these tests rather than simply using palpation to identify the state of the muscle? I would think only in patients who are possibly obese or to gather an objective value? cheers

Thanks

I did this test, and yes, I have tight hips - the exercise strained my hips!!
Be careful when performing the tests if the hip is restricted as probably not a muscular issue, regards JG

Excellent info.
