---|---|
ACL | Anterior Cruciate Ligament/primary stablizer of the knee joint/ limits hyperextension on the knee |
Menisci | fibrocartilage disc that protect the femur from rubbing on the tibia |
Lachmans test | test for ACL disruption |
Posterior cruciate ligament | prevents posterior movement of the tibia in relation to the femur |
posterior drawer test | draw tibia posterior, mushy end feel +test for pcl damage= |
MCL | resists valgus stress to the knee - enhances medial stability |
terrible triad | ACL, MCL, MM |
Valgus stress test | for MCL Stability |
Pes Anserene tendons | SGT - sartorious, Gracillis, Semitendinosis |
Varus Stress Test | for lateral collateral ligament |
Patellofemoral Syndrome | Anterior pain that is worse when extending the knee, up/down stairs, incorrect patellar tracking during extension |

Muscles that attach to IT band | Glute Max, TFL |
Muscle that causes similar pain as IT band syndrome | Vastus Lateralis |
Ober Test | Tests tightness in IT Band |
Noble Compression test | Test for ITband friction syndrome |
Function of Meniscus | Shock Absorber |
Meniscal injury caused by | compressive force |
Apley Compression test | test for meniscal damage |
Apley distraction test | positive for ligament injury, client prone, traction tibia |
Patellar tendinosis | Jumpers knee |
