Tests for Hip Impingement - What Doctors Aren't Telling You

When it comes to hip impingement, many doctors will use two physical tests known as FADIR and FABER tests. These tests are meant to determine if you have FAI (femoroacetabular impingement) bone shapes that need to be fixed — surgically. But how dependable are these tests, really?

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In this video, I go over two tests used by doctors — FADIR and FABER — to determine if your hip pain comes from your having femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Many claim that hip impingement has a direct correlation with the results of these tests, but I take a deeper dive into the scientific literature to prove otherwise.
