PretestPretest1. Pain when kneeling on the knee usually means that the
patella tendon is injured. True or False?
2. The draw sign refer to an assessment test that stresses the meniscus. True or False?
3. A loose body in the knee joint causes the knee to get stuck in flexion. True or False?
4. Chondromalacia causes knee pain primarily when going upstairs or uphill. True or False?
5. A torn cartilage causes the elderly to be fearful when walking down stairs – the fear is that their leg will lock while straight and they will fall. True or False?

• Cushion to reduce friction and allow soft tissue to slide easily
• Lined with synovial cells that secrete fluid to lubricate high friction areas
• 4 important bursas in the knee: • Prepatellar bursa• Suprapatellar bursa• Deep infrapatellar bursa• Pes anserine bursa
• Cushion to reduce friction and allow soft tissue to slide easily
• Lined with synovial cells that secrete fluid to lubricate high friction areas
• 4 important bursas in the knee: • Prepatellar bursa• Suprapatellar bursa• Deep infrapatellar bursa• Pes anserine bursa
Function and Location: Knee Bursas
• Prepatellar bursa – very thin, cushions between patella and skin “B”
Function and Location: Knee Bursas
• Suprapatellar bursa – lies between anterior surface of lower femur and deep surface of quadriceps femoris. “3”

Function and Location: Knee Bursas
• Deep infrapatellar bursa – lies beneath patella ligament and tendon body “A”.
Function and Location: Knee BursasFunction and Location: Knee Bursas
Pes anserinus – Where the tendons of the Gracilas, Sartorius and Semitendinosis muscles come together to form a common attachment.
• The bursa lies beneath common tendon attachment, cushions between the medial collateral ligament and the Pes anserinus
