Abnormal: distance does not increase to >20 cm
Suggests decreased Lumbar spine range of motion
May suggest Ankylosing Spondylitis

Hip flexed to 45 degrees
Examiner braces lower leg
One hand holds ankle

Externally rotate leg (toes point outward)
Slowly extend the knee while still in valgus
Lateral meniscus
Repeat above with varus stress and internal rotation
Interpretation: Positive Test suggests Meniscal Injury
