---|---|---|
Knee extension [9] | Supine with the test limb flexed to 90˚ of hip and knee flexion; the non-test limb extended on the testing table | An inclinometer placed just distal to the test limb tibial tuberosity; the angle of the tibia will be measured relative to the horizontal |
Hip abduction [9] | Supine with the test and non-test limbs extended on the testing table | The goniometer stationary arm placed across the anterior superior iliac spines with the axis over the test limb anterior superior iliac spine; the movement arm will vertically bisect the participant’s thigh and move with the thigh |
Hip internal rotation [9] | Prone with the test limb flexed to 90˚ of knee flexion; the non-test limb extended on the testing table | An inclinometer placed just proximal to the test limb lateral malleolus; the angle of the fibula will be measured relative to the vertical |

Ankle dorsiflexion [46] | Standing with the test foot perpendicular to the wall; the non-test foot placed behind the test foot. The participant will lunge forward until right before the heel lifts off the floor | An inclinometer placed just distal to the test limb tibial tuberosity; the angle of the tibia will be measured relative to vertical |
