Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The capsular pattern of the hip typically involves marked limitation of flexion, abduction, and medial rotation, with moderate limitation of extension. There is not typically a significant limitation of external rotation, which is described in choice A. Choice B involves marked limitation of extension, which is not typically seen in the hip's capsular pattern. Choice D involves moderate limitation of flexion, internal rotation, and external rotation, but does not include abduction or medial rotation, which are both commonly limited in the capsular pattern of the hip.
