Hello again, (hopefully you received my first comment, but I'm wondering if it was sent based on the system seeming to have stopped functioning)

I believe if you listen carefully "abduction" and "adduction" are used correctly, but you bring up a good point- if you're having trouble hearing it than others must as well and I can definitely redo the segment with my current group of students.

Thank you for your comments

You are right in that athlete may vry well hav pain in cont'd active ABduction or resisting in ABduction against gravity. This test just haps to be an ADduction test. "releases the leg and allows gravity to ADduct the leg (ie. eccentric contr'n of ITB). It's pos if athlte has pain or not want to let it drop (in ADduction) due to pain along ITB. It's what PT's n Chiros learn (step-by-step). However, someone with experience and who can palpate can usually detect a lot quicker.

i believe the term should be "if the patient cannot continue to abduct (not adduct) the leg once you release the limb". otherwise thanks for the video.
