Observation
- Ecchymosis (bruise)? Surgical scars?
- Knee resting position
- Knee effusion with obscured landmarks
- Quadriceps muscle atrophy
Knee effusion tests
- patellar ballotment
- knee milking
Range of motion
- Normal flexion = 130 degrees
- look for pain
- do active vs passive ROM
- Normal extension = 10 degrees above horizontal
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Stability Tests
