The FADIR (flexion, adduction, internal rotation) test is used for the examination of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, anterior labral tear and iliopsoas tendinitis. The premise of this test is that flexion and adduction motions approximates the femoral head with the acetabular rim.

Performing the Test: Have the patient lay in the side-lying position with the tested hip on top. Passively move the patient's lower extremity into flexion (90 degrees), adduction, and internal rotation. A positive test occurs when pain is produced in the sciatic/gluteal area.

The Cervical Flexion-Rotation Test (CFRT), in contrast to other forms of manual examination, is an easily applied clinical test purportedly biased to assess dysfunction at the C1-C2 motion segment. The C1-C2 motion segment accounts for 50% of the rotation in the cervical spine.
