Musculoskeletal Testing
Hip and Pelvic Testing - Flexion

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. The leg is bent at the knee and the subject attempts to touch their knee to their chest while keeping the hip from coming up and off from the table. The dynamometer is placed on top of the knee. 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.
