Assignment:

A promising 17-year-old junior footballer Jake comes in to see you with anterior knee pain. On visual inspection, you notice some mild swelling (effusion) and atrophy (wasting) in the medial compartment of the knee and upper thigh. Jake cannot remember a single specific incident where the knee was badly twisted or he suffered severe trauma to the knee joint. You are concerned about the integrity of the medial (tibial) collateral ligament and the medial meniscus and decide to assess these. You also decide to assess the hip joint and foot mechanics in your initial assessment.

Question:

You assess Jake's hip joint function and he records a positive Trendelenburg test. What does this tell you about the strength of the gluteus medius muscle on the test leg? How could it alter iliotibial band (ITB) function to change patellar tracking to cause anterior knee pain.
