There are norm-values for every joint that you should keep in the back of your mind:\nFlexion: 110 -120\u00b0\nExtension: 10-15\u00b0\nAdduction: 30\u00b0\nAbduction: 30-50\u00b0\nInternal Rotation: 30-40\u00b0\nExternal Rotation: 40-60\u00b0\n\nThe goal of testing active range of motion is to detect possible symptoms like pain and determine their location, quality, and intensity.\n\nFurthermore, you will be able to see how freely your patient can move in a specific joint. It is important to look out for compensatory movements when assessing active range of motion in a specific joint. For example in the hip joint, when assessing a specific movement, there may be compensations coming from the lumbar spine or the pelvis. To conduct active range of motion, make sure your patient is in a comfortable position and let them know that this assessment might provoke symptoms. It\u2019s wise to start with the unaffected leg first and to instruct your patient properly, as this is a hands-off assessment.\n\nTry to assess as many movements as possible in one position, before you move on to the others. For example, try to assess as many movements in supine position, before you ask your patient to roll over.\n<div class=\"embed-container\">\n\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3OiJqAtPQUc[\/embed]\n\n<\/div>\nFor flexion, ask your patient to bring the knee as far as possible to the chest.\n\nTo conduct active range of motion in the direction of adduction,lift one leg and ask the patient to cross the other leg underneath it.\n\nTo conduct active abduction, ask the patient to bring the leg as far as possible off of the bench.\n\nTo conduct active range of motion in the directions of internal and external rotation, ask your patient to flex the hip to about 90\u00b0.\n\nTo assess internal rotation, ask your patient to bring the heel outwards as far as possible. And to assess external rotation, ask your patient to bring the heel inwards as far as possible.\n\nFor extension, instruct your patient to lift the leg off of the table.\n\nIf you want to learn how to assess passive range of motion in the hip joint, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wiki\/hip-passive-range-of-motion\/\">here<\/a>.\n\n[cta]\n"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"content-content","section_options":{"vertical_alignment":"top","column_right_box":false,"column_left_width":"col-12 col-lg-4 offset"},"column_left":{"content_editor":"<h4>References<\/h4>"},"column_right":{"content_editor":"-"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"cta-image-v2","layout":"","background":"transparent","heading":"","content_editor":"<p class=\"subheading\">Like what you\u2019re learning?<\/p>\n<p class=\"heading-two\">BUY THE FULL PHYSIOTUTORS <strong>ASSESSMENT BOOK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>600+ Pages e-Book<\/li>\n \t<li>Interactive Content (Direct Video Demonstration, PubMed articles)<\/li>\n \t<li>Statistical Values for all Special Tests from the latest research<\/li>\n \t<li>Available in \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 \ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9 \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf9 \ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\uddf7<\/li>\n \t<li>And much more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>","button_type":"internal_link","button_label":"Check out our shop","button_style":"button-two","button_internal_link":4464,"button_anchor":"","button_url":"","button_file":null,"side_button":{"side_button_content_editor":""},"bottom_button":{"bottom_button_content_editor":""},"image":22705,"image_alt_text":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"review-slider","heading":"WHAT CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT E-BOOK","image_shortcode":"","image":"","image_alt_text":"","shortcode":"[wprevpro_usetemplate tid=\"2\"]","button_type":"internal_link","button_label":"","button_style":"button-one","button_internal_link":"","button_anchor":"","button_url":"","button_file":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"cta-full-width-v2","logo":{"logo_image":22443,"logo_image_alt_text":""},"heading":"<strong>Download<\/strong> the free Physiotutors app now!","content_editor":"","download_image":{"download_image_image":22444,"download_image_image_alt_text":""},"mobile_download_image":{"mobile_download_image_image":22445,"mobile_download_image_image_alt_text":""},"download_image_link":"https:\/\/onelink.to\/6dtzk5","mockup_image":{"mockup_image_image":22447,"mockup_image_image_alt_text":""},"mobile_mockup_image":{"mobile_mockup_image_image":22446,"mobile_mockup_image_image_alt_text":""}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hip Active Range of Motion (AROM) | Basic Assessment<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Active range of motion assessment of the hip is part of a basic physiotherapeutic examination.
