Faber Test

The FABER (Patrick's) test involves flexing, abducting, and externally rotating the hip to assess for pain in the hip, low back, or sacroiliac region. It helps diagnose hip, lumbar, or sacroiliac pathologies by reproducing a patient's pain. A positive test occurs when pain is reproduced at the end range of motion. Possible positive findings include sacroiliac joint pain, groin pain indicating iliopsoas issues or hip disorders, or hip loose bodies, chondral lesions, or osteoarthritis. The FABER test is a quick and useful clinical tool but may not provide a clear diagnosis on its own.
