McMurray Test and Meniscal Assessment

The video tutorial covers the McMurray Test, a diagnostic tool for meniscal damage. It begins with an introduction to the test and its diagnostic accuracy, which is noted to be 63% according to Blyth et al. (2015). The video provides step-by-step instructions on how to conduct the test, including positioning the patient and rotating the tibia. It explains how to test different parts of the meniscus and identifies signs of a positive test, such as clicking, locking, or pain. The video concludes with a recommendation to watch additional tests like the Apley’s and Thessaly Tests.
