Hip Range of Motion Test

The normal range of motion for the hip joint varies depending on the movement. Typically, hip flexion ranges from 110° to 120°, extension from 10° to 15°, and rotation from 30° to 60°. These values can differ slightly based on factors like age and activity level.

Measuring hip range of motion is essential for diagnosing potential joint issues, monitoring rehabilitation progress, and developing targeted treatment plans. It helps identify limitations that could affect mobility and quality of life.

Measuring hip internal rotation during a prone examination is significant for assessing the range of motion and identifying conditions like hip impingement. It also helps evaluate hip extension and understand the differences in normative values when comparing measurements taken in prone and supine positions.
