The test has to be performed as followed:[1]
- Ask the patient to sit on a table with his legs dangling over the edge.
- Bend the patient’s knee so that it is flexed at a 90° angle.
- Grasp the patient’s foot and bring thetibia ininternelly rotation.
- Instruct the patient to extend his leg until he/she feels pain.
