Upper hand on joint line that you"re testing, not on patella. Pain, clicking or popping = injury to meniscus on side tested. But can get apprehensive due to pressure in the joint capsule in flexion = (+) test as well. If medial meniscus external rotation of foot, knee extends in opposite way of heel (varus) If lateral meniscus internal rotation of foot, knee extends in opposite way of heel (valgus) Upper hand placed on mid foot/ heel push down and externally and internally rotate tibia on femur. Pull tibia straight up with hands around ankle at malleolus to distract tibia from femur. If pain = ligament or capsule problems, not meniscus no force through ligaments when joint capsule is open. Used to lift arch prevent plantar fasciitis, mid-ankle sprain: flat feet, also people who have plantar fasciitis with high arch. Using 1" tape, do 4 or 5 strips starting at the base of mtp heads and wrapping around calcaneus medially.
