| Method | With the subject lying prone, the examiner stands on one side of the table and places one hand over the ipsilateral pelvic region. The examiner then passively flexes the subject's knee and notes the reaction at the hip joint. The test is repeated on the other side. If the hip also flexes when the knee is flexed, a tight rectus femoris is indicated. |
