The hawkins kennedy test evaluates for subacromial impingement syndrome. The test is performed by positioning the patient’s shoulder in 90° of flexion with the elbow bent to 90°, followed by internal rotation of the arm. This motion narrows the subacromial space and stresses the

The abductor muscles, primarily the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus, originate from the lateral ilium and insert onto the greater trochanter to stabilize the pelvis during movement. Their main function is to abduct the hip and maintain pelvic alignment during gait, especially

The hand elevation test evaluates for carpal tunnel syndrome. The patient is instructed to lift both hands overhead and maintain the raised position until symptoms develop or for two minutes. A positive response appears as paresthesia, numbness, or a dull ache along the median

Foot drop is characterized by difficulty lifting the front part of the foot, leading to a steppage gait and frequent tripping. Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam, neurological testing, electromyography (EMG), and imaging to identify underlying nerve, muscle, or spinal

Medial epicondylitis, commonly known as golfer’s elbow, is an overuse injury caused by repetitive wrist flexion and forearm pronation that leads to microtearing of the common flexor tendon at the medial epicondyle. Diagnosis is clinical, based on medial elbow pain reproduced with

The halstead test evaluates for thoracic outlet syndrome. The examiner palpates the radial pulse on the involved side. The examiner abducts the arm to 45°, extends the shoulder to 45°, externally rotates the upper extremity, and applies downward distraction. The patient then

The ischial spine is a pointed bony projection on the posterior border of the ischium that serves as an attachment for the sacrospinous ligament. Clinically, it is an important landmark in obstetrics for assessing fetal station during labor and in pelvic surgery as a guide for

The gravity varus stress test of the elbow evaluates for posteromedial rotatory instability. The shoulder abducted to 90° and the forearm in neutral rotation. The elbow is then actively moved through repeated flexion and extension. A positive test is indicated if the patient

The golfer's elbow test evaluates for medial epicondylitis. The examiner places one hand over the medial epicondyle while using the other hand to passively supinate the patient’s forearm, extend the elbow, and extend and radially deviate the wrist. The test is considered positive

The gluteal skyline test evaluates for an inferior gluteal nerve palsy. The patient lies prone while the examiner stands at the foot of the table and inspects the gluteal region for symmetry and bulk. The patient is then asked to contract the buttocks, allowing comparison of
