  1. PROM Patient reported outcome measures, PT Physical therapy, SD standard deviation,  HIS High intensity stretching device; ainternal rotation is measured based on a scale (0–8) representing the patient’s ability to reach anatomic landmarks posteriorly. Zero represents the least amount of internal rotation (ipsilateral hip), and 8 represents the most (C8 - T1)
