art 1 – The effect of distance on the peak applied force and abductor torque Data Collection: A handheld dyanometer is a device that measures force. Subjects will lay on their left side and will attempt to abduct the hip while the experimenter resists. This test will be performed with the experimenter positioned in two locations, immediately proximal to the ankle, and immediately proxi to the knee. The distal point will be located 5 cm proximal to the lateral malleolus, and the knee pos will be 5 cm proximal to the knee joint line. Record the distance between the point of application an hip joint center. The experimenter will provide resistance perpendicularly to the lower extremity.
