Table 4 The hip adduction range of motion in the study and control groups, analyzed as symmetric or asymmetric range between the left and the right hip.

  1. Prone 0 – examination in the prone position with the lower limb in neutral rotation; Prone Ext – examination with the lower limb in external rotation; Prone Int – examination with the lower limb in internal rotation. No significant difference was found in the proportion of symmetric/asymmetric hip adduction between patients with scoliosis and the controls, irrespective the technique of examination.
