Tight hip rotators or hip retroversion

October 1, 2007 By Bill

Before you decide that your client has “tight” external rotators of the hip from your visual, static assessment, you better check them for femoral retroversion.  Retroversion is the result of a reduced femoral neck angle relative to the line through the femoral condyles.

The reduced angle will result in a greater degree of hip external rotation and a reduction in hip internal rotation. 

To identify this you’ll use Craig’s Test which you’ll find with a quick Google search.

You have to earn your way into the 16%. To do so, we must think differently. Fitness training is young and indecisive. Rehab is stagnating. Strength & Conditioning is being stifled by tradition and confusion. It's time to do the work necessary to improve or join the average.
