  2. Supine, 45° of hips flexion, arms in-between knees
  3. Supine, 90° flexion, arms in-between knees
28
Q

Posterior Glide

A

Helps to increase flexion and IR

Patient = supine with hips at end of table. patient assists in stabilization by holding contralateral limb against chest. Initially hip to be mobilized is in resting position, progress to end of range

Therapist = stand on medial side of pts thigh, pelvis facing lateral. Belt around distal shoulder and under patients thigh. Distal hand between belt and patients thigh. Proximal hand on anterior of proximal thigh

Mobilizing = keep elbows extended and flex your knees as your provide anterior to posterior force with proximal hand

29
Q

Anterior Glide

A

Increases extension and ER

pt: prone with trunk resting on table, asis at edge of table. opposite resting on floor

PT = standing on medial side of patient’s thigh, pelvis facing lateral. Belt around shoulder and pts thigh. Distal hand supports at ankle to avoid knee extension, Proximal hand posterior to provide posterior to anterior force just distal and lateral from ischial tuberosity

Mobilizing force = keep your elbows extended and flex your knees. apply force with proximal hand in anterior direction

30
Q

Prone PA Figure 4

A

increases extension, ER, abduction

pt = lying prone with involved extremity in figure 4 position. Can place knee off edge if they don’t have enough rotation

PT = on contralateral side with hand-over-hand position just distal and lateral from ischial tuberosity

mobilizing = in anterolateral direction to proximal femur

31
Q

Lateral Glide

A

for pain relief, general mobility

pt = supine with involved extremity in hook lying. pt places belt as close to hip crease as comfortable. towel placed between belt and thigh for comfort

PT = belt around lower hips, hands at knee to stabilize and provide counterforce for first position. proximal hand stabilizes at pelvis for second position. posterior weight shift through hip hinge

mobilizing = lateral glide by flexing knees into posterolateral direction

32
Q

Posterior glide self mob

A

for pain, loss of flexion

pt: supine with heavy band around uninvolved foot and around involved hip at the anterior hip crease. Hands support involved limb in flexion OR foot can rest on door jamb

Force = scoot towards door jamb, increase hip flexion, or press other limb into more extension and PF

33
Q

lateral step up
clamshell
sideplank progression

38
Q

Patellar Tap

A
  1. supine with knees extended
  2. 2-3 strokes with palm of suprapatellar pouch towards patella
  3. quick tap of patella posteriorly
  4. listen and feel for patella bouncing off femur with distinct impact
39
Q

Bulge sign/sweep test

A
  1. supine with knees extended
  2. 2-3 strokes with back of hand medially from distal to proximal. Stroke laterally from proximal to distal and watch for medial effusion
40
Q

Grades for Sweep Test

A

0 = no wave produced
Trace = small wave produced
1 = larger bulge on medial side
2 = medial effusion reutrns w/o lateral downstroke
3. so much fluid it doesn’t move

41
Q

Patellar Tilt Test

A

determine tightness of the retinaculum

pt = supine with legs extended and in neutral rotation

PT = palpate medial and lateral borders of patella with index fingers

can help see if there is a possibility of PFP

42
Q

Results of Patellar Tilt Test

A

normal to be slightly medially tilted

if digit palpating medial border is higher than lateral border, patella is considered laterally tilted

if digit palpating lateral border is higher than medial border, patella is medially tilted

43
Q

MCL Integrity/Valgus Stress

A

Purpose: test the integrity of MCL to resist valgus foces

Position = patient supine with LE supported and relaxed.

PT = apply a valgus force through the knee joint while applying abduction force at the foot/lower leg. Done at 0° and 30°

positive if there is excessive gapping, pain, lack of end feel. Laxity is expected at 30°

moderately high SN, moderately low SP

44
Q

47
Q

Modified Lachman Test

A
  1. patient supine with knee resting on bolster or examiner’s knee so approximately 20-30° of flexion
  2. Proximal hand stabilizes the femur against examiner’s hand and the other hand applies anterior translation force

Found to be comparable to Lachman test for examiners with small hands or patients with large LE

48
Q

Posterior Sag Sign

A
  1. Patient positioned at 45° hip flexion and 90° of knee flexion with foot flat
