Knee Test Flashcards
Anterior -posterior drawer
Acl pcl
Apley’s compression
Meniscal injuries
True tibia and femur length test
Foot flex on table and compare the heights of tibia plateaus
Noble test
It band friction syndrome
Compress lateral femoral condyle itb
Clt extend knee
+ pain at 30 degree
Q angle
18women if more patella track laterally stress on lateral facets
13 men if less patella track medially place stress on medial articulating surface leading to chondromalacia
Posterier Sag sign
To asses integrety of the posterior cruciate ligarment
Waldron’s test
Patellafemoral syndrome
Ballotable patella or major Effusion test
Increase sylnovial fluid within knee joint
+ patella click onto femur n rebound to the floating position
Could lead to hemathrosis
Brush or minor effusion
Asses lesser amount of sylnovial fluid within knee after knee joint injury
+ if excess fluid is present
Possibly resulting from cruciate or meniscal damage
Valgus stress test
Integrety of structure that prevent medial instability of knee
Assesing joint capsule mcl , both cruciate ligarment
With knee flex 20-30 degree - asses mcl
Varus stress test
Integrety of lateral instability
20-30 degree knee flex -,lcl
Lachman’s test
Acl
Knee fles 30 degree place knee maximum funtional role
Patellellar apprehention test Pr
Test whether patellar likely to dislocate laterally
Move from medial to lateral while observe clt face
+ expression of apprehension
Helfet’s test
Dynamic rotary funtion of tibia
Observe relative alignment of tibia tuberosity to midline patella
+ absence of slight lateral tibia motion indicate Torn meniscus or injured cruciate lig blocking extention
Mcmurray’s
Injury to menisci
Extend and apply stress with ext or int with valgus or varus force
Negative test does not completely ruleout meniscal tear
