Unit 8: The Lower Extremity — Final exam

Question 11 • Sports Medicine 1b

Bruno asks his patient to sit on the edge of an examination table with their knees bent. He holds the anterior tibia and asks the patient to try to extend the knee. His patient tries to overcome the resistance Bruno is asserting. What type of assessment is Bruno performing?

Answer
A
an Ober test
B
a telescoping test
C
an MMT test
D
a Talar Tilt test

Explanation

Bruno is testing the patient’s ability to extend the knee against resistance. Manual muscle testing (MMT) assesses muscle strength by having a patient move against resistance, so this is an MMT test. The Ober test, telescoping test, and Talar Tilt test assess other conditions rather than knee-extension strength.
