<p>Lachman's Test</p>

A

<p><span>Test ACL. More specific test. This test is done by </span><strong>bending the hip 45 degrees and the knee 90 degrees, then pulling the knee forward with a sudden jerk to test the leg's range of motion</strong><span>. If it moves 6 mm beyond its normal range of motion, then you may have an ACL tear or injury.</span></p>

Q

<p>Mcmurray test</p>

A

<p>Tests for <span>tear in the posterior portion of the lateral meniscus.</span>. Patient lays <a>supine </a>on the table with the knee maximally flexed. With the affected extremity relaxed the examiner grasps the ankle and palpates the knee while simultaneously rotating the lower leg internally and externally and extending the knee. The test is considered positive for a torn meniscus if the examiner appreciates a palpable or auditory click while rotating and extending the knee.</p>

Q

<p>Drop Arm Test</p>

A

<p><span>Positive shows rotator cuff tear- The examiner supports the patient’s arm to be tested and abducts it to 90+ degrees. The patient is asked to actively lower their arm from abduction to their side in a slow and controlled manner. A positive test is determined by the patient’s inability to smoothly control the lowering of their arm or the inability to hold the arm in 90 degrees of abduction.</span></p>
