A member asked:
Could weak hamstrings affect the lachman test for a loose acl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weak hamstrings: Will make the lachmans test measure the TRUE laxity of your acl. The hardest part of the exams getting people to relax their leg and hamstrings to get a good lachmans rest. If they are weak=better test.
