In medicine, physiotherapy, and chiropractic, the hip examination, or hip exam, is undertaken when a patient has a complaint of hip pain and/or signs and/or symptoms suggestive of hip joint pathology. It is a physical examination maneuver. The hip examination, like all examinations of the joints, is typically divided into the following sections: *Position/lighting/draping *Inspection *Palpation *Motion *Special maneuvers The middle three steps are often remembered with the saying ''look, feel, move''. ==Position/lighting/draping== Position - for most of the exam the patient should be supine and the bed or examination table should be flat. The patient's hands should remain at their sides with the head resting on a pillow. The knees and hips should be in the anatomical position (knee extended, hip neither flexed nor extended). Lighting - adjusted so that it is ideal. Draping - both of the patient's hips should be exposed so that the quadriceps muscles and greater trochanter can be assessed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hip examination」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
