How to Assess Pelvic Stability: The Stance Contralateral Kinetic Test

When a patient presents with persistent gluteal pain, it is easy to default to local tissue treatments or basic resisted testing. But what happens when the root cause isn't local weakness, but a systemic failure to load and stabilize the pelvis? In this video, we break down a live case study of a patient with gluteal pain, focusing heavily on manual handling and real-time clinical reasoning. We look beyond a simple Trendelenburg sign and dive into the Stance, Contralateral Kinetic Test. Watch the exact handling and placement needed to assess the patient's ability to load their pelvis in stable positions without losing optimal neuromotor control. 🎯 READY TO DECODE CLINICAL COMPLEXITY?
