Test Ballottamento Rotuleo | Patellar Tap test

The Patellar Tap Test (also known as Ballot Test) is used clinically to assess the presence of knee effusion. In this video, we demonstrate how to perform it correctly, the criteria for positivity, and the clinical conditions under which it is truly useful, according to the literature. The goal is not just to "know how to do it," but to understand when to interpret it with caution and how to integrate it into clinical reasoning within a comprehensive physical examination. ► Learn more about all the joint tests in the book Musculoskeletal Evaluation in Physiotherapy: https://www.fisioscience.it/valutazio... ► 50 CME credits + continuing education with FisioScience CLUB: https://club.fisioscience.it/CLUB
