You just earned another subscriber. Your videos are informative and straight to the point. The production value is also very high compared to a lot of other instructional videos, which makes it very easy to watch. I'll recommend your videos to my teacher and my classmates and hopefully they'll join in as well. Thanks a lot.

Why do we need to externally the tibia for this test?Internal rotation followed by varus force to knee will exert more pressure to LCL right.

[nouriixo]

does the hand on the femur produce opposing movement, or is it used as a stabilization point?

[dodi]

Great videos for practices on hand. Thank you for all this amazing videos

[AnthonyMansolino]

I have found your videos very helpful and educational, but I have a question about this video. Since it's a test for the lateral collateral ligament, why are you rotating the lower leg laterally while applying varus stress on the knee? Wouldn't it be better to rotate the lower leg medially while applying varus stress on the knee in order to optimize test of lateral collateral ligament?

Hej
Jag har en fråga
Snälla skicka till mig en träning video för vargs knä 🙏

[rubbertire]

Holy!!if you did this to my knee right now I would cry watching this video makes me cringe like no other I've been dealing with this for 2 years now pops out all the time

[lynds]

surely it's abduction rather than adduction, as you're moving the leg away from the midline of the body to try and put stress on the LCL? Am i wrong? 00:57??

[Natalie-gwjt]

Hi!! Great video!! Quick question, in what degree of measurement should kneecap movement while in a knee brace be obtained in? I am simulating the knee for a project and this information would be very helpful!!
