  1. The FADIR maneuver (Flexion, Adduction, Internal Rotation) of the hip is a primary provocative test for which condition?

    Answer: Femoroacetabular impingement

    FADIR compresses the femoral head against the acetabular rim, provoking anterior groin pain in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

  2. Which clinical test for plantar fasciitis involves dorsiflexing the toes and ankle to tension the plantar fascia before palpating the medial calcaneal tubercle?

    Answer: Windlass Test

    The Windlass Test recreates plantar fascia tension via the windlass mechanism; a positive test reproduces medial heel pain with passive great toe dorsiflexion.

  3. A positive Thompson (Simmonds) Test — absence of plantarflexion when the calf is squeezed with the patient prone — indicates rupture of which structure?

    Answer: Achilles tendon

    Squeezing the gastrosoleus complex normally produces plantarflexion via the Achilles tendon; absence of this response confirms complete Achilles tendon rupture.

  4. The FABER Test (Patrick's Test) is positive when it reproduces groin or posterior hip pain; anterior groin pain suggests pathology of which joint?

    Answer: Hip joint

    FABER positions the hip in Flexion, Abduction, and External Rotation; anterior groin pain suggests hip joint pathology, while posterior pain suggests sacroiliac joint involvement.

  5. Which elbow test assesses for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) by resisting wrist extension with the elbow extended?

    Answer: Cozen's Test

    Cozen's Test resists wrist extension with the elbow in extension, stressing the ECRB origin at the lateral epicondyle and reproducing lateral elbow pain in tennis elbow.

  6. In the Varus Stress Test of the knee, excessive lateral joint gapping compared to the contralateral side indicates injury to which structure?

    Answer: Lateral collateral ligament

    Varus stress applied to the knee at 0° and 30° of flexion tests the lateral collateral ligament; gapping at 30° indicates isolated LCL injury, while gapping at 0° suggests posterolateral corner involvement.

  7. The Speed's Test assesses for bicipital tendinopathy by resisting which motion with the elbow in extension and forearm supinated?

    Answer: Shoulder flexion

    Speed's Test resists forward shoulder flexion with the elbow extended and forearm supinated, loading the long head of the biceps tendon at the bicipital groove.
