FABER Test - Screening Test for Hip Pain - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill
The FABER test, also known as Patrick's test or the figure-four test, is a physical examination technique used by healthcare professionals, particularly in orthopedics and sports medicine, to assess hip joint flexibility, range of motion, and potential causes of hip pain or dysfunction.
Here's how it's performed:
The patient lies on their back on an examination table.
The examiner flexes the hip and knee of the leg being tested, forming a figure-four shape with the leg.
The examiner then gently pushes down on the flexed knee, causing the hip to be placed in external rotation, abduction, and flexion.
The examiner observes the range of motion and any pain or discomfort experienced by the patient during the test.
The clinical significance of the FABER test lies in its ability to help diagnose various hip joint conditions, including:
Hip joint pathology: Pain or limited range of motion during the FABER test can indicate problems such as hip impingement, labral tears, or osteoarthritis.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction: Pain felt in the sacroiliac joint during the test may indicate dysfunction or inflammation in this area.
Hip flexor or tensor fasciae latae tightness: If the hip cannot achieve the desired position due to tightness in these muscles, it may suggest issues with flexibility or muscle imbalance.
Pelvic or lumbar spine conditions: Pain elicited during the FABER test may also indicate issues with the pelvic or lumbar spine, such as herniated discs or sciatica.
Overall, the FABER test is a simple yet valuable tool for clinicians to evaluate hip joint function and identify potential sources of pain or dysfunction in the hip and surrounding areas.

Yes, somewhat stuck on a verbal tick there. We do warn students about that as they develop their phrasings. Opps

I had an issue you discuss in the video. I got sent to physical therapy for pain in my butt/hamstring, and my physical therapist figured out that it was actually a hip injury and adjusted treatment from there. Great work and interesting video!

[@Tattagreis89]

Thanks for the informative video, as always. Hope you and your family are doing well and have a nice day :)

[@sitakhet]

It's funny to me that I started watching this channel's videos for the ASMR, and now here's one on the test I had all the time as a kid that gave me those tingles!

[@starfishgurl1984]

Wow, great explanations! I love learning the science/reasons behind why you do things a certain way because it helps to understand the body better and how it’s connected. Thankfully with all of my hereditary joint problems my hips have yet to be effected, to my knowledge anyways, but it’s nice to learn about just in case should anything happen in the future.

I think he talked about it in the comments section of another video, but he tells his volunteers to change their last names and birth dates for every video. For their safety.

[@ewanmunro7580]

I love the realistic indications of pain for the exam part. I feel it's important for these initial less specific tests.

When will David the patient be coming back, not seen him in a video in ages. Hope he is in the next one

Question: do you usually say A B duction like in the video, or is it just in an educational context?

Hi Dr Gill. Sorry this comment is not related to the video. Ive got a sore small white spot on the side of my tongue. Any idea what it is??

[@chuckoneill2023]

Apparently, some neurological assessment going on -- trouble remembering one's own name is potentially a troubling symptom.

[@beautyhacks4564]

Hello Dr. I am suffering from enterococcus faecalis infection in my vagina and feeling really very depressed since last few months. I did my vaginal swab test for the first time And it showed that i am suffering from enterococcus faecalis infection and when i changed my Dr, she also took vaginak swab test and later it showed that No growth of any organism. Still why i feel itchy down there?

Dr Gill, love your content as always. Might I suggest looking into updating your intro and topic transitions to something more modern? The colors, text animation, and jingle are a tad clunky, although I realize it’s part of your “KZbin identity” to your followers/subscribers.

if your school has you put your hand on the patient's anterior hip, place the patient's hand on their anterior hip first, then place your hand on top of theirs.

[@DrJamesGill]

Hmmm. On the one hand, I can see some benefits there, but potentially also affecting the exam If there is a concern, I think a different option of just having a chaperone would be better 😊

omg are you serious..... id love to hear your thought's on how one would do a breast exam. Seriously mate its a medical test....
