1. McMurray's Test: used to assess for a tear in the meniscus of the knee. The therapist will flex and rotate the knee while applying pressure.
2. Ankle dorsiflexion test: used to assess for tightness in the calf muscles and to evaluate ankle range of motion.
3. Lumbar Extension Test: used to assess lower back pain and mobility. The therapist will have the patient lie face down and then lift their upper body off the table.
4. Shoulder Impingement Test: used to assess for impingement of the rotator cuff in the shoulder. The therapist will raise the patient's arm to 90 degrees and then rotate it internally.
5. Hip Flexion Test: used to assess for tightness in the hip flexor muscles and to evaluate hip range of motion.
