Greater Trochanter Palpation

The greater trochanter palpation test is valuable for diagnosing conditions such as greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) and gluteal tendinopathy. It helps identify localized tenderness and inflammation around the greater trochanter.

The Greater Trochanter Palpation test is essential to a comprehensive hip examination. It can be seamlessly integrated into routine assessments to aid in diagnosing lateral hip pain conditions like GTPS and gluteal tendinopathy.

Complementary tests may include imaging studies (e.g., MRI or ultrasound) to visualize tendon pathology and functional assessments to evaluate hip strength and mobility. These additional tests can provide a better understanding of the patient's condition.
