Kim Bacalla on Instagram: "👩‍⚕️ Knee Sweep Test (Brush Test) A positive sweep test = fluid shifting around the knee joint ➡️ a sign of joint effusion (swelling inside the joint capsule). Why it matters: effusion can limit quad activation, alter mechanics, and slow recovery. Always pair with a thorough history and additional special tests for a complete assessment. 📌 Clinical pearl: even a small amount of swelling can inhibit strength and performance. #SportsMedicine #AthleticTraining #KneeHeal

Limitless Physiotherapy | Yakup (Jacob) Kilci on Instagram: "What would you grade this Sweep Test? 👀💧 4 months post-ACL reconstruction, we should be seeing minimal to no effusion on the sweep test.
