Our user asked: "hip inferior glide is to increase what motion"

Ask a PT Response: "Inferior glide mobs of the femoral head on the acetabulum will assist with achieving hip abduction.

FYI:
Hip Flex - spin with slightly posterior glide of the femoral head on the acetabulum
Hip Ext - spin with slightly anterior glide of the femoral head on the acetabulum
Hip IR - posterior glide of the femoral head on the acetabulum
Hip ER - anterior glide of the femoral head on the acetabulum "
