• Walking
• Running
• Standing
• Lying supine or prone (if pelvis is abnormally tilted) TIP 167

Special Notes

• If there is excessive lumbar lordosis and/or the pelvis is tilted anteriorly, the hip joint will be in artificial flexion and ROM of extension of the hip will appear more restricted than it actually is
• If the hip flexors are short, there will be restricted extension of the hip likely and the spine has to go into lordosis to compensate
• The gluteus maximus should be firing in hip extension  TIP 170
