A Study of Comparing of Hip Flexor Flexibility in Prone with the Modified Thomas Test Position

Overview

About this study

Hip flexor tightness has been associated with a number of musculoskeletal conditions. There are current gaps in our knowledge of the ability of clinicians to assess hip flexor muscle flexibility in different positions. The aim of this study is to help improve our understanding of the measurement properties of two measures of hip flexor tightness.
