I have read some questions in exam in other countries, but not fully
understand, anyone can help?
A 65 year old female reports to physical therapy diagnosed with
degenerative joint disease of the right hip. Which of the following
clinical findings would you not expect to identify?
a) tendency to stand with the hip and knee extended and the lumbar
spine flexed
b) marked limitation of hip internal rotation and abduction
c) tendency to incline the trunk toward the involved side during the
stance pase of gait
The answer is a. I thought answer (C) is correct, cos the truck would
be inclined toward the uninvolved side, any comments?
