Test protocol
The Thomas Test is frequently used to detect the contracture or hypoextensibility of the iliopsoas. It can also be used to demonstrate capsuloligamentous retraction of the coxofemoral joint, characterized by a deficit in passive hip extension (Thomas et al., 1974; Vigotsky et al., 2020).
