Accessory Motion Technique

• Patient Position: supine, with the hip flexed, slightly abducted, and internally rotated with the knee flexed.
• Clinician Position & Hand Placement: 
  • Standing on the contralateral side of the hip being mobilized.
  • Stabilization is provided by the patient’s body weight. Additionally, your stabilization hand or bolster is placed under the patient’s posterior ischium just proximal to the patient’s hip.
  • Place your clasped mobilization hands or single mobilization hand over the patient’s flexed knee with your forearms in line with the postero-lateral direction of force.
• Force Application:
  • With your hand contacts in place, take up the slack in the joint and apply a postero-lateral glide through the long axis of the femur.
  • Alternately, you may apply a postero-lateral glide as you bring the patient’s hip into progressively greater ranges of hip flexion.
