Our user asked: "working with someone with PT after having a stroke, patient cant bring right leg around back of left leg.. a cross over around the back what muscles are being used and what needs to be strengthen?"
 
Ask a PT Response: "One would need to incorporate hip extension, hip adduction and hip external rotation in order to achieve this motion. Since this patient suffered a stroke, definitely would need to determine if strength is the only limiting factor or if there are other factors involved, ie flexibility, joint mobility, motor programming, etc."
