Hip Adduction and Flexion w/ External Rotation

Description

To Perform this PIC for Left Hip Adduction w/ External Rotation:

1. Move the hip into its end range position.
2. ASSISTIVE technique: place left hand under the thigh with only enough support to perform the isometric contraction of flexion and abduction at 10-20% for 3-6 sec x 3-6 sets. Rest approximately 5 seconds between reps.
3. RESITIVE technique:   perform the following PICs:
   • Place right hand on inside of thigh and push thigh inward (adduction) with only enough pressure to perform the isometric contraction at 10-20% for 3-6 sec x 3-6 sets. Rest approximately 5 seconds between reps.
   • Place left or right hand on top of thigh and push thigh upward (flexion) with only enough pressure to perform the isometric contraction at 10-20% for 3-6 sec x 3-6 sets. Rest approximately 5 seconds between reps.
   • Place right hand on inside/top of thigh and push up and in with only enough pressure to perform the isometric contraction at 10-20% for 3-6 sec x 3-6 sets. Rest approximately 5 seconds between reps.
4. Perform the opposite for Right Hip adduction and flexion w/ external rotation.
