Anterior Drawer Test | ACL Test | ACL Grade III Injury | Dr. Noman Awan | Sports Physiotherapist

Anterior Drawer Test The ACL attaches to the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia then passes posteriorly, laterally, and upward to attach to the femur on the medial side of its lateral condyle. The ligament prevents forward sliding of the tibia on the femur and prevents hyperextension of the knee. Physical Exam Technique The patient should be lying supine on the exam table Have the patient flex the hip and knees to 90°, feet should be flat on the table (the examiner may sit on the patients foot to ensure it stays flat) Cup your hands around the knee with the thumbs on the medial and lateral joint line and the fingers on the medial and lateral insertions of the hamstring Apply an posterior-to-anterior directed force through the superior tibia to draw the tibia forward toward you Observe if the tibia slides forward (like a drawer) from under the femur Repeat the test on the other leg, comparing the degree of forward movement Results Positive Test: The tibia jerks forward showing the contours of the upper tibia and includes the lack of an end-feel or excessive translation An ACL tear is 11.5 times more likely Negative Test: Little movement is noted A few degrees of forward movement are normal if equally present on both sides. Link of Heat vs. Cold Therapy /watch/s4=t&8zCn-1YXLRyXt Knee osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease, is typically the result of wear and tear and progressive loss of articular cartilage. It is most common in elderly women and men. Knee osteoarthritis can be divided into two types, primary and secondary. Physical therapy can help to reduce the pain, swelling, and stiffness of knee osteoarthritis, and it can help improve knee joint function. It can also make it easier for you to walk, bend, kneel, squat, and sit. But with active treatments, you do more of the work, such as at-home exercises.
