The Knee Video Content Page

 

 

Welcome to The Video Knee Web Site.  This site is intended to assist athletic training students in learning the anatomy of the knee, as well as several methods to test the muscles and ligaments of the knee.  Included below are links to various pictures of the knee, along with videos depicting muscle and ligament tests for the knee.   When viewing any of the pictures, you will be able to "click" on different areas of the picture to be linked directly to the video of that muscle or ligament test.  Below, there are also links to several pages of text, which include definitions, references and written descriptions of the various muscle and ligament tests shown in the videos.
