A side-lying hip abduction active range of motion biomechanical assessment is a systematic evaluation of the musculoskeletal and functional aspects of the hip joint while an individual lies on their side, actively performing hip abduction. This assessment is designed to analyze the biomechanics of hip movement, including range of motion, muscle activation, and neuromuscular control during abduction.
Key components of the assessment include:
1. Side-Lying Position:
- The individual lies on their side with the lower leg slightly bent for comfort and support.
- This position isolates the hip joint and minimizes involvement from other joints.
2. Hip Abduction Movement:
- The individual actively raises the top leg away from the bottom leg, performing hip abduction in the frontal plane.
- The movement is controlled and deliberate, aiming to reach or approach the full range of motion.
3. Pelvic Stability:
- Observing the stability of the pelvis during hip abduction.
- Checking for any tilting or rotation of the pelvis that may affect the assessment.
4. Hip Joint Range of Motion:
- Analyzing the range of motion of the hip joint during active abduction.
- Identifying any limitations, asymmetries, or compensations in the movement.
5. Muscle Activation and Strength:
- Evaluating the activation and strength of the hip abductor muscles, including the gluteus medius.
- Identifying any signs of muscle imbalances or weaknesses.
6. Neuromuscular Control:
- Observing the individual's ability to control the movement throughout the entire range.
- Identifying any compensatory patterns or deviations from the desired hip abduction pathway.
7. Pain or Discomfort:
- Monitoring for any signs of pain, discomfort, or restrictions during the active hip abduction.
- Assessing for potential issues such as impingement or muscle tightness.
