Special Notes

• The hamstrings are likely to cramp towards end range, especially in AROM
• If there is pain in the lower back follow up with a Pheasant Test
• In most cases this test will be restricted by the length of the rectus femoris or by soft tissue approximation in the case of large thighs and/or calves
• To find the true motion of knee flexion the hip has to be flexed to slacken rectus femoris TIP 181
