Test Criteria

• the patient is supine with no rotation of the pelvis
• the affected limb is flexed at the knee approximately 30° to 40°, and the hip is abducted 45° (this can be bilateral)
• if unilateral, the heel of the affected limb should rest against the medial aspect of the contralateral knee
• if it is a bilateral examination, both knees are to be resting on sponges, giving the appearances of “frog legs”
