That depends on what model you subscribe to. In PRI land, its a positive test. This would mean using re-positioning exercises to see if you can improve the test. In physical therapy, it is dips below parallel its a negative test, and nothing to do. Its just one test, and need to look at many others for optimal decision making.
hey Sam!thank you for you great video, really detail and helpful!I wonder if you could help me, I get a little bit confuse why some people do ADD text, they lift the leg, first flexion then abduction before bring the leg back?do you have any idea? looking forward your respond!thanks lot!
If I'm understanding what you're asking, the leg is brought into flexion, then abduction first to ensure the hip is in the proper position of extension, (abduction/extension/external rotation is a combined movement). If the femur is internally rotated or not in extension, the test will provide faulty result.

Thanks for doing this with a skeleton. It really shows it much more clearly than others.
excellent content as always.
Thank you!
So if the knee can go halfway down but not all the way its still considered a positive test? And if so how do you treat it?

@@SamVisnic thank you,Sam! That's exactly what I want to know!
Who would be able to perform this test? A chiropractor?

When trying to lower the knee to to table, the test would be positive if the pelvis or spine tips and doesn’t remain still, correct?
If the pelvis is being anchored by the therapist properly, those won't happen. The knee will not lower.
