Varus–Valgus Stress Test | Collateral Ligament Instability Assessment
Knee instability isn’t always obvious—clinical testing matters.
The Varus–Valgus Stress Test is a fundamental orthopedic assessment to evaluate collateral ligament integrity.
Valgus Stress → Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL)
Varus Stress → Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)
These ligaments provide frontal plane stability and resist excessive valgus & varus forces at the knee.

❌ “Main exercise kar raha hoon… phir bhi pain theek nahi ho raha!”
👉 Kyunki har exercise rehab nahi hoti.
🆚 Rehabilitation vs General Exercise
🔴 General Exercise (Workout):
Same for everyone
Focus: Fitness & calorie burn
Random YouTube/gym-based
❌ Doesn’t target injured structure
❌ Can worsen pain if done wrong
❌ No clinical reasoning
🟢 Physiotherapy Rehabilitation:
✔️ Patient-specific (based on assessment)
✔️ Focus: Pain relief + function restore
✔️ Targets weak muscles (VMO, glutes, core)
✔️ Step-by-step progression (healing stages)
✔️ Corrects posture & movement
✔️ Prevents re-injury
💡 Reality Check:
👉 General exercise = Symptom management
👉 Rehab exercise = Root cause treatment
📌 Example:
Knee pain patient doing squats ❌
→ Pain increase
Same patient with rehab:
✔️ Quad activation
✔️ Glute strengthening
✔️ Balance training
→ Pain ↓ Stability ↑
