anterior drawer technique
Position: foot on table, knee flexed 60-90 degrees, hamstring relaxed
Movement: translate proximal tibia anteriorly on femur
lachman test technique
Position: supine, knee flexed 20-30 degrees, hamstrings relaxed
Movement: stablize femur, translate proximal tibia anteriorly
posterior drawer technique
Position: foot on table, knee flexed 60-90 degrees, hamstring relaxed
Movement: translate proximal tibia posterior on femur
Knee valgus stress test technique
Position: supine, flex knee 15-30 degrees
Movement: provide valgus stress and push knee medially
Knee varus stress test technique
Position: supone, flex knee 15-30 degrees
Movement: provide varus stress and push knee laterally
patellar apprehension test technique
Position: supine w/ quad relaxed, flex knee to 30 degrees
Movement: push patella distal and lateral
Apley’s Compression Test
Position: prone with knee flexed to 90 degrees
Movement: stabilize thigh and apply vertical compression thru heel while rotating tibia
McMurray Test
Position: supine, leg in full flexion, one hand grasping heel/ankle and the other pushing medially on knee
Movement: externally rotate tibia and provide valgus stress, extend knee and return to flexion; repeat with internal rotation of tibia and providing varus stress
Thessaly test technique
Position: stand on involved leg with knee flexed 5 degrees, hold clients hands
Movement: internally and externally rotate 3x
Neer test technique
Position: seated
Movement: stabilize scapula and passively take UE into full shoulder flexion w/ humerus in internal rotation (palm out)
Hawkins-Kennedy Test technique
Position: Seated, should in 90 degrees of flexion, slight horizontal adduction, maximal internal rotation (thumb down)
Movement: stabilize elbow and push down on forearm
