What are Iliofemoral, Pubofemoral, Ischiofemoral ligaments?
In this test, the patient stands flat footed on one leg while the examiner supports the patient by holding their outstretched hands. The patient then flexes the knee to 5° and rotates the femur on the tibia medially and laterally three times, while maintaining the 5° flexion. The uninjured leg is tested first so that the patient may be trained with regard to how to keep the knee in the flexed position. The test is then repeated at 20° flexion.
The primary action of this muscle is extension of the great toe.

He had a negative talar tilt test and anterior drawer but a positive Kleiger’s test. This diagnosis is MOST consistent with the patient’s symptoms.
Flexion-adduction-external rotation pattern and extension-abduction-internal rotation pattern at the Lower extremity.
What is D1?
Increased Quad and decreased hamstring activity are indicative of which phase of gait
