Ultimate OMM & Musculoskeletal Mega Review: Knee, Ankle, Ribs, Shoulder, Radial Head & Somatic Dysfunctions – Complete COMLEX Questions Provided with A+ Graded Rationales Latest Updated 2026 - Age 55 -Isolated patellar tenderness -Tenderness of the fibular head -Inability to flex to 90o -Inability to bear weight for 4 steps According to the Ottawa Knee Rules, knee x-rays are only required after an injury if... Cephalad Fibula moves ____________ with Dorsiflexion Caudad Fibula moves _____________ with plantarflexion Posterior Talus glides _______________ with dorsiflexion Anterior Talus glides ____________ with plantarflexion ACL -ligament that attaches from the anterior medial femoral condyle to posterior mid lateral tibia -resists posterior translation of the tibia -injured when knee is in flexion MCL -main stabilizer for valgus stress and internal rotation of the tibia -femoral attachment is most common for injury LCL -main stabilizer for varus stress and external rotation of tibia Pes Anserine -located 2 cm below medial joint line -attachment site of sartorious, semitendinosus, and gracilis muscles Patellar Apprehension Test Patient is supine and patella is passively glide laterally. Patient does not allow and/or does not like patella to move in lateral direction to simulate subluxation/dislocation MCL VALGUS stress test is for what structure LCL VARUS stress test is for what structure McMurray Test compression of the meniscus of the knee combined with internal and external rotation while the patient is face-up to assess the integrity of the meniscus Apley's Compression Test Used to test the integrity of the lateral and medial meniscus Thessaly Test Patient stands on one leg and rotates back and forth meniscus test ACL anterior lachmans test is for what structure PCL posterior lachmans test is for what structure Thompson Test compression of the calf muscle while observing for plantar flexion to assess the stability of the Achilles tendon Mulder Test test for Morton's neuroma, squeeze forefoot, positive test is hearing click and pain from patient Fractures the percussion/bump/tap test assesses for what? Talor Tilt assess lateral stability Talus Inversion -ATF is pulled tight -pulls distal fibula anterior -proximal fibula moves posterior and becomes locked -type of ankle sprain Anterior Dysfunction (posterior restriction) What dysfunction: -talus is restricted in dorsiflexion -usually assoc with plant{ar fasciitis -chronically tight posterior calf muscles Peroneal Muscle Release Gently apply perpendicular traction to affected tendons & muscles - reduce pain & tension - Promote fluid evacuation from distal ankle - serve as a prep for another technique Popliteal Fossa Release -anterior force in midline of popliteal fossa -while patient extends knee, extert a spreading force with fingertips -promotes drainage Tibial Flexion Dysfunction -anterior glide of tibia -posterior glide is restricted -treat by taking up slack and apply
