Extension of knee
0 - 5*
Internal rotation of knee
10*
External rotation of knee
10*
Describe genu valgum/varus/recurvatum

Recurvatum - knees back
Strength testing for extension of knee tests….
Quadriceps
Femoral nerve
L2-L4
Strength testing flexion of knee….
Hamstrings
Sciatic n
L5-S1
Int/ext rotation of tibia on femur testing
Supine
Flex hip and knee at 90*
Grip calf and tibial tuberosity
Medial and lateral turn
What is Int Rot Dysf?
Increased IR with restricted ER
Describe adduction dysfunction of the knee
Ease of motion with valgus force, restriction to varus
Ease of medial translatory motion
Pt supine, knee fully extended
Describe abduction dysfunction of the knee
Ease of motion with varus force, restriction to valgus. Ease of lateral translator motion
How do you test for anteroposterior slide of tibia on femur?
Supine, knee flexed, foot flat on table
Doctor wraps both hands around prox tibia, thumb in front of med and lat condyles
Ant and post force noting ease of slide
How do you test proximal fibular head dysfunction?
supine, knee flexed, foot flat on table
also do with knee fully extended
Pinch fibular head with thumb and index, stabilize knee with other hand
Translate head ant and post to assess gliding motion noting asymmetry btwn ant and post glide
What is Ant fibular head SD?
ease of glide ant, restriction is posterior
