Knee Test

What are the three major bones that make up the knee joint?

• Femur, Tibia, and Patella

• Femur, Tibia, and Fibula

• Femur, Ulna, Tibia

• Fibula, Talus, and Femur

The function of the patella is to:

• protect the knee joint from anterior forces

• Protect from Varus forces

• Protects from Valgus Forces

The knee joint is a type of joint that allows which movement?

• allows flexion and extension

• allows rotational movement

• allows rotational movement

• allows flexion, extension, and rotation

The menisci play a crucial role in the knee joint by:

• providing stability and acting like a cushion for the knees

• connecting muscles to bones

• producing synovial fluid

• facilitating blood circulation

The four main ligaments of the knee are:

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Meniscus, Lateral Meniscus

• Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL), Patellar Ligament, Quadriceps Tendon

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Meniscus, Patellar Ligament

The ACL and PCL are called "cruciate" ligaments because:

• They are located in the shoulder joint.

• They cross each other in the knee joint.

• They are the longest ligaments in the body.

• They are found in the hip joint.

The four quadriceps muscles are responsible for extending the knee joint. Which of the following are the four quadriceps muscles?

• Rectus femoris, Vastus lateralis, Vastus medialis, Vastus intermedius

• Biceps femoris, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, Sartorius

• Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Plantaris, Popliteus

• Adductor longus, Adductor brevis, Gracilis, Pectineus

Which of the following are symptoms and treatments for patellar tendonitis?

• Pain and swelling anteriorly in the knee, develops over time

• Clicking and popping, pain with squatting

• Instability with rotation movements

• Pain with McMurrays Test

An MCL sprain occurs due to:

• a direct blow to the outside of the knee

• overuse of the knee joint

• a sudden twist of the knee

• a fall on the knee

The Lachman Test assesses:

• ACL

• PCL

• Quad Strength

• Hamstring Strength
