What is Hip ROM #2?

What is Hip ROM #2?

• A. Small ROM.
• B. Leg Extension.
• C. Abduction/Adduction.
• D. Hamstring and Low Back Stretch.

Answer: (B)

Hip ROM #2 refers to hip extension, which is tested by leg extension. After the hip is moved through a flexion-type motion, the next distinct movement in the sequence is extending the leg, meaning the thigh moves backward relative to the trunk and the hip joint increases its extension range. The other options describe either a vague bookmarking term (small ROM), a lateral hip motion (abduction/adduction), or a stretch rather than a defined hip joint movement (hamstring and low back stretch). So leg extension best matches the second hip range of motion.
