Q

Patricks test (FABRE)

A

1st: press flexed leg into acetabulum
2nd: flex leg, externally rotate and abduct leg (figure 4)

(+) pn in groin/ hip or glut fold
= capsulitis, arthritis, fx, AVN inflam

Laguerre’s = FABRE in the air

21
Q

indications of trendelenburg

A

g. med weakness on stance side or hip path on stance side- superior glut N lesion

also (+) with: dislocation of hip, fx, sublux, legg calve perthes dz

22
Q

indications of Ely’s test

A

tight rectus femoris M or hip flexion contracture: tight psoas

23
Q

Thomas test

A

pt: hold knee to chest
doc: palpate opp. leg
(+): tightness, or involuntary leg flex

= hip flexion contracture–> if tightness isnt palpated it can be restriction at the hip joint

24
Q

Ober’s test indication

A

tight iliotibial band or TFL contracture

25
Q

Modified Helfet’s test

A

(+) tibial tub remains at midline with patella with knee extension –> normal would move inline with LATERAL border of patella with extension

= rotation is blocked due to torn meniscus

26
Q

Bounce home

A

(+) unable to extend the knee fully or rubbery end feel on full extension
= meniscus

27
Q

McMurray’s test

A

IR and ER listening to jt line for clicking or popping

= meniscus

28
Q

Steinman’s tenderness displacement test

A

doc: place hands on jt line -> flex and extend knee

(+) pn moves anterior during knee extension or posteiror during knee flexion
= meniscus dysfunction

29
Q

structures effected during anterior drawer

A

ACL
MCL if more than 1 cm of movement
Posterolateral capsule, posteromedial capsule, Iliotibial band, posterior oblique lig, arcuate popliteus complex

30
Q

structures effected during posterior drawer

A

PCL, posterior oblique lit, ACL

31
Q

Slochum test

A

pts leg is flexed 45 degrees and IR
doc: pulls P-A

(+) 5 mm of tibial movement
= ACL, posterolateral capsule, LCL or ITB

32
Q

Hughston’s drawer test

A

Pt has leg flexed

Doc pushes AP in IR and ER

IR: PCL and MCL
ER: PCL and LCL

33
Q

Lachman’s test

A

doc stabilized the femur with 1 hand and grabs the prox tib –> pulls PA

= ACL

34
Q

Reverse lachman’s test

A

pt is prone
doc: stabilize posterior thigh with one hand–> grasp tib and press AP

(+) pn with AP pressure , soft end feel
= PCL

35
Q

Lateral Pivot Shift (Test of MacIntosh)

A

doc: raise leg to 30 degrees, IR tibia–> apply valgus stress

(+) tibi reduced, pt will experience “giving away” –> ITB pulls back

= ACL, posterior capsules or LCL

36
Q

structures indicated in adduction stress test of the knee

A

when in ext: fibular collateral lig, posterior lateral capsule, ACL, PCL, ITB

when in flexion: fibular collateral lig (LCL) posterolateral capsule, ITB

37
Q

nobles compression

A

doc: pressure on the lateral condyle–> extend the knee

(+) pn under the thumb at the lateral condyle in 30 degrees of flexion (w/ cc of pn with activity)

= ITB friction sx

38
Q

what is the difference btw fairbanks apprehension test and patellar apprehension test

A

fairbanks: knee is flexed to 30 degrees

patellar apprehension: no flexion

39

A

chondromalacia patella, retropatellar arthrits, chondral fx, prepatellar bursitis

40
Q
