Hip Rotation Testing

Hip rotation measures are highly dependent on testing position. Research examples support that hip rotation values differ by testing position. Prone, sitting, and supine hip rotation tests can produce different values because each changes pelvic and soft-tissue constraints. Hip rotation tests should not be overinterpreted in isolation because many confounders affect the results. Hip rotation testing should be used consistently as a marker rather than as an isolated decision-making test. The source prefers addressing other movement tests before relying on hip rotation measures.
