Faber is an acronym for flexion, abduction, external rotation, and extension of hip joint. If this maneuver causes anterior hip pain the test is positive. If the Fabere is positive and there is a significant loss of passive range of hip movements consider hip arthritis or avascular necrosis. If Fabere is positive with normal hip passive movements then iliopsoas tendonitis is a likely diagnosis. If Fabere is positive with a posterior hip pain consider sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
