- The patient’s hip is flexed to 90° and placed in external rotation
- The patient is then asked to actively return the hip into its neutral position against resistance by the examiner
- In case of a negative test in the first position, the test is repeated in prone lying position with the hip extended, the knee flexed to 90° and the hip brought into external rotation
