Passive adduction tests a The tensor fascia lata contracture test: With the knee in extension, the examiner passively brings the hip into extension then adduction. b Gluteus medius contracture test is performed with knee flexion, thus excluding the gluteus maximus contribution for the iliotibial band. The examiner passively adducts the hip toward the examination table. c The gluteus maximus contracture test is performed with the ipsilateral shoulder rotated toward the examination table. With the examined leg held in knee extension, the examiner passively brings the hip into flexion then adduction
