Tight hip rotators or hip retroversion
Before you decide that your client has “tight” external rotators of the hip from your visual, static assessment, you better check them for femoral retroversion. Retroversion is the result of a reduced femoral neck angle relative to the line through the femoral condyles.
The reduced angle will result in a greater degree of hip external rotation and a reduction in hip internal rotation.
To identify this you’ll use Craig’s Test which you’ll find with a quick Google search.
