IT Band - along IT band distal to greater trochanter .
Lat. hamstring biceps femoris: Post. thigh, lateral to midline halfway down femur
Medial hamstraight: post thing medial to midline, halfway fown thigh
LE CS TP knee
Lateral meniscus, LCL: lat. aspect of menisus @ joint line
Medial meniscus, MCL: ant/med aspect of meniscus on joint line
Ant. cruciate: sup aspect of posterior fossa on hamstring tendon
Post. cruciate: center or below center of popliteal fossa
LE CS TP leg
popliteus
Extension ankle gastroc: distal to pop margin
Medial ankle
Lateral ankle
Flexion calcaneus QP: ant aspect of calcaneus at attachment of plantar fascia
TFL treatment
Patients knee is abducted and slightly flexed
might need a little IR
FAbIR
IT Band treatment
Patient knee is abducted and slightly flexed
Might need a little Er or Ir
Lateral hamstring TP tx
PL surface of fibular head
Pt is sup or pro, doc ips
Knee flexed, tibial ER w slight abduction
Compress calcaneus to plantar flex
FAbER
Medial hamstring TP tx
Doc ipsilateral to pt (sup/pro), grabbing lateral ankle/foot
Knee is flexed, tibia IR
Slight Adduction, add IR as needed
FAdIR
LCL tx
Supine, doc ips Pt w thigh abducted so leg is off table Knee flexed 35-40* Tibia abducted and ER or IR Might need to dorsiflex and evert ankle
MCL tx
Supine, doc ips
Pt thigh abducted so leg off table
Flex knee 35-40*
Tibia is adducted and IR
Might need plantar flexion and inversion of ankle
Anterior cruciate ligament
pillow under distal femur
apply posterior force to proximal tibia
Posterior cruciate ligament
Pillow under proximal tibia
Apple posterior force to distal femur
Popliteus tx

Lateral recumbant w pillow under affected leg
apply eversion force w slight ER to foot and ankle
Flexion calcaneus
Sup or pro, doc ips
Pt knee is flexed, dorsum of foot on doc’s thigh inducing marked plantar flexion
translate calcanues towards forefoot
navicular
sup/pro, doc ips
