COURSE OUTCOME
Knee Joint Complex
• The knee joint consists of two articulating surfaces
between the femoral condyles and tibial plateaus
with a fibro-cartilaginous disc between each
articulation, as well as the articulation of the patella
with the femoral groove
Tibiofemoral Articulations
• Resting position- The resting position is 25˚ flexion.
• Treatment plane- The treatment plane is along the
surface of the tibial plateaus; therefore, it moves
with the tibia as the knee angle changes.
• Stabilization- In most cases, the femur is stabilized
with a belt or by the table
Tibiofemoral Distraction: Long-
Axis Traction
• Indications- Testing; initial treatment; pain control;
general mobility.
• Patient Position - Sitting, supine, or prone,
beginning with the knee in the resting position.
