Description

One of the best ways to help patients is to perform a comprehensive examination to identify the impairments and most importantly, when applicable, the CAUSE(S) of the problem. There are several new evaluation techniques and tests currently being used to establish the subjective, objective and functional data base during the examination of the patient with a knee injury. The scientific and clinical rationale for performing and interpreting these tests will be described and how they guide selected treatment interventions for the patients.
