Using the Thomas Test with the post rehab client

[MonaLisa57]

Thank you Dr. Mike... you explained this PERFECTLY!!! Do you have a website or book?

[alirezaxx]

Very well explained! I wish he had mentioned compensatory anterior pelvic tilt and lumbar hyper lordosis that might be associated with this test...

[45CMDO]

Fantastic explanation of this test - Thanks!

[sandhedomsundhed]

Rectus Femoris originates from TWO places, AIIS is one of them.

[wrxbungle]

@sandhedomsundhed posterior superior rim of the acetabulum ;)

[sandhedomsundhed]

@wrxbungle Yes, that's right :)

[mayu8therapy]

[danik198127]

You need to have the pelvis stabilized

[wacokid6621]

You also look at rotation at the hip (by looking at where her tibia is pointed in relation to a line perpendicular to the ground), if she is laterally/externally rotated, then there is likely tightness of the sartorius. In this case, it's definitely TFL, since she is in significant medial/internal rotation.

AIIS not ASIS

[csramsay0314]

@craysimons3 ASIS not AIIS - asis stands for anterior superior illiac spine which is where the rec fem originates from

[craysimons3]

@csramsay0314 Im sorry but you are incorrect. The rectus femoris' proximal attachment is the AIIS not the ASIS.

[COLTSGOD34]

very good

[JayjeeOxtricks]

Really helpful video, thanks a lot. One question though, doesn't rectus femoris originate from AIIS?

[jbocca70]

Hes american, cut him some slack

[matthewthomas123098]

this is excellent. explains a lot

[lkojio]

Very interesting. I think there's another vid that states the lumber spine must be pressed flat to the table during this test. ???

Do Test For Rectus Femoris Method 1: Kendall, or Method 2: Ely's

[frazer1990]

you say the rectus fem arises from the ASIS, doesnt it arise from the AIIS?

[mrdiko]

I believe you are correct

[holyanyon]

It originates from two tendons, one from the AIIS and the other from just superior to the acetabular brim.
