put the pt in left lateral position and tell him you are going to bring his leg back (extension).

PSOAS SIGN: EXTENSION OF HIP (KNEE MUST BE IN EXTENSION). ALSO GIVE COUNTERRESISTANCE AT HIP
OBTURATOR SIGN: INTERNAL ROTATION(Counter resistance at the lateral part of knee)
-moving the leg outwards will cause internal rotation of hip.
