Patrick's test or FABER test is performed to evaluate pathology of the hip joint or the sacroiliac joint.
If pain is elicited on the ipsilateral side anteriorly, it is suggestive of a hip joint disorder on the same side.
If pain is elicited on the contralateral side posteriorly around the sacroiliac joint, it is suggestive of pain mediated by dysfunction in that joint.
[citation needed] Patrick's test is named after the American neurologist Hugh Talbot Patrick.
