CLET Practical Flashcards
Test 1: Complains of tendinitis in the shoulder during flexion.
Speeds Test: Pain and/or tenderness in the bicipital groove. Indicates: Bicipital Tendinitis
Test 1: Complains of locking and grinding of the knee
Synovial knee plica test: Positive: Popping, snapping, clunking, grinding, or stuttering of the patella.
Indicates: Medial patella pain is medial knee synovial plica syndrome. Lateral patella pain is lateral knee synovial plica syndrome.
Test 1: Complains of posterior elbow pain
Valgus Overload Test Of The Elbow: Pain in the posterior elbow with a reproduction of a locking or catching sensation or an inability to fully extend the elbow due to pain. Indicates: posterior elbow impingement syndrome.
Test 1: Painless Knee
Godfrey Sag Sign: The proximal tibia sags posteriorly due to a lack of a static posterior constraint.
Indicates: A tear or sprain of the posterior cruciate ligaments. This test is done to confirm injury to this ligament if Drawer test proves inconclusive.
Test 1: CAM hip
Hip Impingement Sign: Positive: Sharp anterior catching hip pain. Indicates: Hip impingement syndrome
Test 2: Anterior Shoulder Instability
Anterior Slide Test: Positive: Popping, cracking and crepitus is noticed with pain on the antero-superior aspect of the shoulder. Indicates: Superior or anterior glenoid labrum tear
Test 2: Acute Anterior Knee Instability
Lachmans test: Positive: gapping with the tibia moving away from the femur. Indicates: Anterior cruciate ligament or posterior oblique ligament instability
Test 2: Heel pain radiating along the foot toward the big tow:
Plantar faciitiis: Positive: Sharp pain along the medial longitudinal arch
Indicates: Plantar Faciitiis
Test 2: Lateral hip pain and thigh pain
Modified Obers Test: The hip and lateral thigh remains in abduction (does not angle down towards the floor). The patient experiences lateral thigh pain upon this maneuver. Indicates: tight TFL (possible contracture) with possible IT band syndrome.
Test 2: Lateral elbow pain
Cozens test: Positive: Pain over the lateral epicondyle
Indicates: Lateral epicondylitis
Test 3: Labrum Injury
O’brien sign: Positive: Pain felt deeply or superficially
Indicates: If deeply: Labrum tear. If superficially: AC joint problem
Test 3: High ankle injury
Distal tibio/fibular squeeze: Positive: Pain is reproduced while squeezing or pain is worse when releasing the tib/fib distally as it springs back. Indicates: High ankle sprain of the tibio-femoral ligament and/or the interosseous syndesmosis
Test 3: Supraspinatus weakness
Empty Can Test: Resistance to the abduction and downward pressure stresses the supraspinatus muscle and tendon insertion. Indicates: Tear, rupture to the supraspinatus muscle or tendon with possible suprascapular neuropathy.
Test 3: Synovial Knee Plica
Positive: Popping, snapping, clunking, grinding or stuttering of the patella. Indicates: Medial patella pain is medial knee synovial plica syndrome. Lateral patella pain is lateral knee synovial plica syndrome.
Test 3: Gluteal Insufficiency
Trendelenburg Test: Positive: High iliac crest on supported side and low crest on side of elevated leg. Indicates: Weak gluteus medius muscle on the supported side.
Test 4: Posterior Elbow Pain
Valgus overload test of the elbow: Positive: Pain in the posterior elbow with a reproduction of a locking or catching sensation or an inability to fully extend the elbow due to pain. Indicates: Posterior elbow impingement syndrome.
Test 4: Infraspinatus/teres minor weakness
Patte Test(Hornblower sign): Pain or inability to actively externally rotate against resistance due to weakness. Indicates: Infraspinatus or Teres minor tendinopathy
Test 4: Posterior Knee Instability
Lachman Test: Positive: Gapping with the tibia moving away from the femur. Indicates: Anterior cruciate ligament or posterior oblique ligament instability.
Test 4: Sharp, anterior hip pain:
Hip impingement: Positive: Sharp anterior catching hip pain. Indicates: Hip Impingement Syndrome.
Test 4: Medial Epicondylitis:
Reverse Mills Test: Positive: Reproduction of pain in the medial elbow
Indicates: Medial epicondylitis or Golfers elbow
Test 5: Can’t jog because of lateral knee pain:
Noble Test: Positive: Worse pain through 30-40 degrees of flexion/extension (painful arc of the knee) of the knee. Indicates: IT band syndrome or lateral knee impingement syndrome.
Test 5: Rotator Cuff Instability
Patte test (hornblower): Positive: Pain or inability to actively externally rotate against resistance due to weakness. Indicates: Teres Minor or Infraspinatus tendinopathy
Test 5: Deep Anterior Hip Pain
Hip Impingement: Positive: Sharp anterior catching hip pain. Indicates: Hip Impingement Syndrome.
