Patrick's Test \/ Faber's Test \/ Figure Four Test for Hip OA & SIJ Pain<\/h2>\n \n\nPatrick's Test also known as Faber's Test or Figure Four Test is an orthopedic test in order to assess limited hip range of motion in the direction of horizontal adduction, which is commonly limited in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Ross et al. (2003)<\/a> evaluated this test's intra-rater reliability and found a good ICC of 0.93. This means that the same tester is able to reach the same conclusion when testing a patient several times. Sutlive et al. (2008)<\/a> also evaluated its inter-rater reliability when used as a provocation test for the hip joint and found only low inter-rater reliability of k = 0.47. This means that the test has only weak clinical value as a provocation test in practice.\nAt the same time, Patrick's test can be used as a pain provocation test for the sacroiliac joint. Schneider et al. (2020)<\/a> evaluated this test's accuracy regarding the diagnosis of a painful sacroiliac joint and found a sensitivity of 50% and a specificity of 56%. This means, that this test has only weak clinical value in practice.\n
