percussion test tap tib/fib pain fracture
kleiger's test foot externally rotated in neutral/plantarflexed position pain deltoid ligament tear
homan's sign passively df foot while knee is extended pain in calf deep vein thrombophlebitis
tine's sign tap posterior to medial medial mal pain tarsal tunnel
grind test (clarkes sign) Pressure on superior pole, downward pressurePatient contract can't hold contraction chondromalacia
apprehension test move patella laterally pain contraction of quads patellar subluxation
hughston's plica Examiner passively flexes and extends knee while simultaneously internally rotating tibia while pushing on patella mediallyPalpate medial femoral condyle pain abnormal medial plica
full passive ROM take through ROM can go through ROM rule out locking of joint, joint effusion
McMurray Test Valgus/er/flexVarus/ir/ext joint line pain, popping or clicking valg/er= medial meniscusvarus/IR= lateral meniscus
apley's compression/distraction test Prone, flexed 90Rotate tibia w/ compressionRotate tibia w/ distraction pain Pain w/ compression=meniscal tearPain w/ distraction = collateral ligament trauma
duck walk deep squat/walk like duck pain post. horns of menisci
bounce home Supine, knee flexedPassively allow the knee to extended doesnt extend springy block due to meniscal injury

ant/ posterior drawer hip flexed 45 knee 90Grab tibia below joint lineDraw tibia anteriorly/posteriorly pain laxity acl/pcl
slocum test Like ant. Drawer but int/externally rotate tibia Increased amount of ant. Tibial translation, lack of firm end point Anteriomedial/anteriolateral rotary instability
lachman pull tibia anteriorly, push down on femur laxity, pain acl
