Hip Mobility Test

You may have poor hip mobility if you experience difficulty performing basic movements such as squatting or bending, feel tightness or discomfort in the hips during activities, or notice a limited range of motion in hip joints.

Using specific tests and measurements, hip mobility is measured by assessing the range of motion in various hip movements, such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation.

To check hip flexor mobility, perform a hip flexor stretch by kneeling on one knee and leaning forward while keeping the opposite leg straight and the foot flat on the ground. Your hip flexor mobility is likely adequate if you feel a stretch in the front of the hip and thigh.
