Question

question 50
the test for knee stability is which of the following:
○ finkelsteins test
○ mcmurrays test
○ drawer test
○ lachmans sign

Explanation:

• Finkelstein's Test is for de Quervain's tenosynovitis (wrist/thumb area).
• McMurray's Test is for meniscus tears in the knee (not primarily for stability).
• Drawer Test assesses anterior - posterior stability of the knee (checks for ACL/PCL issues).
• Lachman's Sign is also related to ACL (more specific to anterior laxity in a slightly different position than the full - range drawer test). Since the question asks for the test for knee stability in a general sense among these options, the Drawer Test is the most appropriate as it directly evaluates the stability of the knee joint in the anterior - posterior plane.

Answer:

Drawer Test
