Lower extremity alignment can influence the load distribution on the joints, mechanical efficiency of the muscles. Among these different aligment variables, femoral anteversion has been identified as a risk factor for hip and knee joint injury.
Craig’s test is designed to determine a patient’s anatomical hip alignment in anteversion of retroversion. Patients with an anteverted hip usually have more internal rotation range of motion than external range of motion. They also have a tendency to develop knee valgus which might be a factor in several knee pathologies. Anteversion is more common in females who - on average - have a wider pelvis a larger Q-angle. For patients with a retroverted hip, this is usually the other way around. So they have more external rotation than internal rotation and a tendency to have bow legs.

Thanks a lot for the gesture Tommy! Happy to hear your positive feedback
Nice explanation...thank you sir from India
Can craig's test be modified to supine position at the edge of bed if the patient is not available for prone?
So how do we increase external ROM?
Would you say a hip is more anteverted if the greater trochanter is most prominent with hip IR?
how do i fix this?

If you are a grown adult, there’s no way to fix it besides some sort of surgical intervention, which is not common. You can however learn to compensate for it.
