For example the athlete's leg at full extension, the examiner presses laterally at the knee, while holding the leg at the ankle. Increased movement may be indication of MCL damage. 9978 https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/295932897 2018-10-23 13:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/295932897 Acute injuries should be treated with PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation). Protection may require a protective wrap, brace, or crunches. Once the acute phase passes, rehabilitation may proceed. Gentle active and passive range of motion, such as bending and extending the knee, can be performed in pain-free ranges. Avoid valgus and twisting forces. Once the knee obtains 110-115 degrees of flexion cycling may be initiated. Once the knee has full range of motion and strength back it will be the physician to release the patient. 9978 https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/295935641 2018-10-23 13:41:23 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/295935641 casey_lougheed https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296417489 very good!!!]]> 2018-10-24 13:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296417489 9978 https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296423426 2018-10-24 13:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296423426 A blow to the outside of the knee or a high-energy twisting maneuver are common case of MCL injuries. These forces result in stretching and a valgus force on the medial tibiofemoral joint, which can damage this ligament. 9978 https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296424983 2018-10-24 13:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296424983 Tenderness may be located on the MCL at the joint line, or on either of its bony attachment sites onto the tibia or femur. 9978 https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296427771 2018-10-24 13:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296427771 Swelling of the medial knee. 9978 https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296430485 2018-10-24 13:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296430485 Lateral blow to the knee and felt a pop. 9978 https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296431322 2018-10-24 13:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296431322 casey_lougheed https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296442305 Where do they feel a pop? 

Where is their pain? 

What do they have difficulty doing after that happens?

Can they straighten their leg after that happens?]]> 2018-10-24 13:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296442305 casey_lougheed https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296442942 Most often these injuries are contact injuries....but can this occur from a non-contact mechanism?]]> 2018-10-24 13:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/9978/vqv3q9ltv07o/wish/296442942
