Lachman’s Test

The Ober Test is commonly used to assess tightness of the iliotibial (IT) band. The practitioner positions Taylor on her side and checks whether the upper leg can move down toward the table. Lachman’s Test assesses knee ligament stability, Waldron’s Test is associated with patellofemoral problems, and the Fulcrum Test screens for a possible femoral stress fracture.
