15 Οκτ 2024 · Healthcare providers can determine the appropriate frequency of Thomas Test assessments based on the patient's needs. The Thomas Test is a physical exam used to assess hip flexibility. It helps diagnose hip flexor contractures and iliopsoas muscle tightness.
The iliopsoas functions dynamically as a primary hip flexor, with a significant role in advancing the lower limb when walking, running or kicking. In addition it has major static functions, in balancing and stabilizing the body when standing, sitting or lifting.
The iliopsoas muscle is the primary hip flexor and assists in external rotation of the hip joint, playing an important role in maintaining the strength and integrity of the hip joint. Unilateral psoas contraction assists with lateral motion, while bilateral contraction elevates the trunk from supine.
