This picture is a great example of an individual who appears to have a lot of right FA ER but when you sit them up to measure their ROM, they have limited right FA ER. They have actually subluxed their right hip because of the position of their pelvis. Even though this patient visually appears to have a lot of FA ER, they actually need a right glute max program to stabilize their right pelvis and help maintain pelvic neutrality and right AF ER so that appropriate, non hip flexor oriented, hip rotational strength can occur.
