Musculoskeletal Testing
Hip and Pelvic Testing - External Rotation

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 sits erect on a table with their legs hanging free. The leg is bent at the knee and the subject attempts to raise the outside of their ankle upward as resistance is applied to the outside of the ankle. The dynamometer applies resistance as the subject attempts to raise their leg. The dynamometer measures the resistance and provides an objective reading of the force applied.
