Musculoskeletal Testing
Hip and Pelvic Testing - Adduction

Hip and pelvis injuries can result from a fall, direct blow, twist, or excessive muscle contraction. Injuries include dislocations, broken bones, and bruised or strained muscles.

A Chatillon Dynamometer is used by a professionally certified Physician, Therapist or Clinician to assess hip strength. The subject lays on their back with their legs straight and apart. The dynamometer is placed on the inside of the leg, generally at the ankle. The dynamometer applies resistance as the subject attempts to bring their legs together so that their ankles touch. The dynamometer measures the resistance and provides an objective reading of the force applied.
