Yоu аre meаsuring the rаnge оf mоtion of a client who is POD#60 (post-operative day) from a THA (total hip arthroplasty).   While measuring active range of motion, you get the following measurements at the hip: 110˚ flexion, 10˚ extension, 35˚ abduction, 20˚ adduction, 15˚ internal rotation, and 35˚ external rotation.  Based on these findings, which motion is the most restricted?
