Supine Heel Slide Test

How to Perform

Patient holds 12 O’Clock and examiner monitor ASISs

The patient starts in the same position and is asked to roll the pelvis up towards 12 o’clock. The examiner monitors the ASISs for symmetry at the 12 o’clock position. The ASISs must start level before asking for the test movement. While the patient is holding symmetry at 12 o’clock they are asked to slide one heel down along the table as far as possible without losing the 12 o’clock positon. The examiner monitors the ASISs making sure that neither ASIS moves caudally as the leg is extended.
