Commonly asked questions

The Instability Test does not utilize a scoring system. Instead, the clinician evaluates the patient's self-reported sensations of knee weakness, giving way, or instability while performing specific movements. If the patient experiences these symptoms, it indicates the presence of knee instability.

The Knee Instability Test assesses the patient's ability to maintain stability and control in their knee joint during specific movements or activities. It aims to identify any feelings of knee weakness, giving way, or buckling, which can indicate knee instability.

The Knee Instability Test is a low-risk assessment. If the patient has no underlying knee conditions or injuries, they should experience no adverse effects from performing the test.
