OPP Extensive LAB Year 1
McMURRAY'S TEST
* Test for meniscal tears •Pt supine with knee flexed •For medial meniscus: -DO externally rotates the tibia and applies valgus pressure at the knee while bringing knee into extension •For lateral meniscus: -DO internally rotates the tibia and applyies a varus pressure at the knee while bringing knee into extentsion •Positive = clicking
PATELLAR GRIND TEST

Ankle Drawer Test
* Test integrity of the anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments (also med/lat and sup/deep deltoid) •Test anterior talofibular ligament: -Pt supine, stabilize distal tibia, grasp posterior heel, pull anterior with posterior tibial counterforce •Test posterior talofibular ligament: -Switch hands and force
BOUNCE HOME
* Tests for Mensical tears or motion restriction due to effusion •Patient supine, hold heel, flex knee allowing knee to "bounce home" into full extension •Positive = incomplete extension of knee or slight bounce on extension
PATELLA FEMORAL GRINDING (APPREHENSION) TEST
* Tests quality of the articulating surfaces of the patella and the trochlear groove of the femur • •Pt supine •DO pushes patella distally in trochlear groove •Pt tightens his quadriceps •Patellar movement should be smooth and gliding • •Positive test - any roughness, crepitation as patella moves, pt complains of pain/discomfort -Seen in patients who c/o pain with climbing stairs, getting up from chair, and in pts who have chondromalacia
sacrum: MOTION TEST ABOUT TRANSVERSE AXIS
- hand over sacrum with fingers pointing cephalad - apply alternating pressure with tips of fingers and heel of hand - assess the quality and quantity of motion and note which is freer
Indirect action
- into the freedom of motion
MOTION ABOUT OBLIQUE AXIS
- pads of index and middle fingers, one on PSIS and the other on the sacral base - heel of active hand in contact with the ILA on the contralateral side - apply downward (anterior) pressure on the ILA of sacrum about an oblique axis - assess both sides - if sacral base has rotated forward and become restricted, posterior motion of the sacral base at the sulcus is restricted.

Unilateral Linear Stretch Applied to Both Ends of Muscle,
1. Patient position: supine 2. Physician position: standing at the head of the table 3. Technique: a. Physician places one forearm on the side of the neck to be treated, under the patient's head, with the hand on the patient's contralateral shoulder. Head is fully supported. b. The physician places her other hand on the patient's head, on the side to be treated. c. The physician slowly and gently lifts the head up, forward-bending the neck. The head is rotated away to give a stretch on the muscles opposite the rotation. d. Repeat and move further into the barrier.
cervical stretching
1. Patient position: supine 2. Physician: standing at the head of the table 3. Technique: a. Physician crosses forearms under the patient's occiput and neck so that the patient's head is fully supported on the physician's forearms and the physician's hands are pressing down on the patient's contralateral shoulders. b. Physician lifts arms creating a lever-fulcrum effect that puts linear traction on both ends of the muscles. Neck is bent forward, controlling the force. c. Hold position for a few seconds and slowly bring back to neutral. d. Repeat and move further into barrier.
Thoracic/Lumbar Bilateral Thumb Pressure Prone (parallel stretch)
1. Patient prone, physician standing at head 2. Begin at transverse process of T1, place thumbs/thenar eminences over paravertebral musculature 3. Press gently anteriorly and caudad to stretch musculature 4. Continue down thoracic paraspinal muscles then repeat from bottom and moving up Reevaluate
Lumbar Prone Pressure with Counter Leverage (perpendicular)
1. Patient prone, physician standing at side 2. Place one hand on lumbar paravertebral musculature, opposite from side your standing 3. Inform patient that you will be touching their ASIS: Caudad hand reaches around front of hip to ASIS 4. Apply ventral and lateral force with cephalad hand while caudad hand gently lifts ASIS off the table 5. Repeat at each lumbar vertebral level 6. Repeat on the other side Reevaluate
Thoracic Prone Pressure w/ Counter Pressure (parallel stretch)
1. Patient prone, physician standing side 2. Place hands in opposite directions along paravertebral musculature, have patient turn their head away from your cephalad pointed hand 3. Apply pressure ventrally, moving each hand in the direction fingers are pointing 4. Work up and down thoracic muscles 5. Reevaluate
Cervical Contralateral Traction (Perpendicular Stretch)
1. Patient supine, physician seated at head 2. Place cephalad hand on forehead and other hand on paravertebral musculature on opposite side from where you're standing 3. Pull ventrally with bottom hand and use hand on forehead to gently turn head in opposite direction 4. Make sure you use proper body mechanics (lean away with body) and induce minimal extension 5. Reevaluate
Cervical Cradling with Traction (Parallel Stretch)
1. Patient supine, physician seated at head 2. Place fingers on paravertebral musculature, over the articular pillars of the cervical spine. Avoid the spinous processes 3. Press ventrally/anteriorly to engage the soft tissues and pull cephalad for longitudinal stretch 4. Work up and down the cervical spine Reevaluate
Suboccipital Release
1. Patient supine, physician seated at head 2. Rest occiput in your hands, then place finger pads in upper cervical region and slide up until they hook underneath the occiput 3. Apply pressure anteriorly and cephalad and sustain pressure for 30 seconds to a minute, or until you feel tissues release and the patient's head falls into your hands Reevaluate
Scapulothoracic Release (for a right scapula)
1. The patient lies on their left side, lateral recumbent position, and the physician stands facing the patient at the side of the table. 2. The physician's right hand is placed over the patient's right shoulder, anchoring the clavicle with the webbing of the thumb/index finger. The physician's finger pads contact the superior medial angle of the scapula. 3. The physician's left hand is placed under the patient's right arm, and the physician's finger pads are placed at the inferior angle of the scapula. 4. The physician adds a gentle compression into the tissues to gain access and control of the patient's scapulothoracic articulation and its related myofascial components. The physician next takes the scapula inferior/caudal and superior/cephalad and evaluates the ease-bind barrier relationship 5. Next, the physician carries the scapulothoracic articulation toward the spinal midline and then draws the scapula laterally and assesses these ease-bind barriers 6. The physician determines the motion of restriction and the holds it there for 20-60 seconds, or until a release is felt. 7. To facilitate the reaction, a "Release Enhancing Maneuver" (REM) may be produced by having the patient inhale fully, hold the breath for 5 to 10 seconds and then exhale. 8. When a release is palpated, the physician should do a passive stretch into the barrier

Lumbar side bending passive with active (Hip Drop Test):
· The patient stands in a neutral position, feet shoulder width apart. · Physician stands behind the patient to view the coronal plane; eyes at the level of the lumbar spine. · The patient attempts to maintain symmetric weight bearing on both legs and the quickly flexes the right knee, causing a right sacral base declination, hence causing the pelvis to compensate with a lateral translation to the left. · Repeat on the opposite side. · Note the degree of passive side bending. Normal - 25-30o
