So here's a question that has been really bugging me and the literature doesn't seem to be clear. Piriformes becomes an internal rotator of the femur when the hip flexes above 90º (or 60º depending on the source), since its line of pull becomes anterior to the axis of rotation. That being said, if you're flexing the hip to a 90º angle, shouldn't you be doing External rotation to create tension of the muscle? If you could help clarify I would be thankfull. Cheers and continue the good work.
Hi. If the first sentence is correct than the second is correct. Anyway I'm also confused and the literature is not univocal. Best Pysiotherapist B.Sc. P.S. have you found something else in the past months? Thank you
@@LOREGUINNESS sorry I came back to this video to find this reply from last here lol I agree with you. It's kind of a minor gripe but it's kind of confusing xD Regarding new information, I haven't found anything new. Some sources don't even refer it's change to IR. Did you find anything new? Cheers
From an anatomical standpoint why shouldn’t I add external rotation to stretch the piriformis instead of internal rotation when the hip is flexed at 90 degrees?
Hello in the litterature for the FAIR test for deep gluteal syndrome they actually show an external rotation but they wrote FAIR instead of FAER . That's why we're confused . it all comes from an error in naming the positions
Hi.. ive a lumberhernia,but i ve a gluteal pain.. i dont know which one is disturb me.. how can i be sure , if my piriformis test is positive, ive a piriformis sendrom or i have a lumberhernia
